Last Friday, all of the Internet had their eyes on Cleveland bus driver Artis Hughes. The 59-year-old man delivered a fierce uppercut to passenger Shi'Dea N. Lane and the heated altercation was caught on video. Before the attack, the 25-year-old Lane spat on the driver and struck him.

As usual, the trolls Internet commenters have offered their opinions on the incident, and it wasn't pretty.

Browse their out-of-line, and sometimes racist, reactions to the controversial incident, and try not to break your neck shaking your head. And please, take it easy in the comments, lest we publish reactions to the reactions. We see you.
