It could be a great learning point on how not to act, why not to take drugs etc. But a serial wife beater doesn't deserve a smiley, and I would think men of your caliber would think something like this was anything but funny. Sad commentary on society, yes. Funny ha ha, no.
For the record, my smiley was for the fact that someone would even remember Ike Turner. And my wife did see video and thought the driver did what was necessary.

The girl physically attacked the driver while the bus was in motion. Change the vehicle to an airliner. Now what do you think?

Bus drivers often see the same faces day-after-day. They may have had encounters in the past. And, as PRB said, she took a punch that would have dropped most of us. The driver has possibly had similar run-ins with drugged-up passengers and knew what it would take. In her case...it didn't work.
