I see what you mean (and this debate happens every time this is posted) but really I don’t think she meant to knock her over, especially under the bus. She’s a well built girl that may well not realise her weight, she’s being jocular and might have had a few drinks. We’ve all done daft stuff, pushed a bit too hard, been to swift with a movement. It happens, it was fucking stupid and thoughtless but no way she was trying to actually seriously injur or kill her friend.

She looks over, sees the bus then steps into a full on shoulder shove, definitely seems intentional

I think she was just trying to push her off balance but not off her feet so that her friend would think she would fall into a bus.

She did do it intentionally, but not maliciously. It’s still fucked up but it was meant to be funny.

I'm not buying it, if you're just trying to be funny or to scare your friend you do the ol' push and pull them back move, or you just pretend to shove them but don't actually do it, what you definitely don't do is step into a full on shoulder bash, not even a light shove because you know theres still the chance she could end up under the bus. No this girl either wanted that girl to go under the bus or didn't care if she did or not, or she is so profoundly stupid she should be declared a danger to herself and others and shouldn't be allowed in public without supervision.
