Anyone know?
I am always amazed how someone can ruin their lives and destroy everything they worked for in just a few seconds.
The three misdemeanor counts of assault carry a maximum of one year in prison each with a $1,000 fine. The felony criminal mischief stems from the amount of damage caused to the bus, which was in excess of $1,500. That charge comes along with a maximum jail sentence of seven years.

ZACHARY RIPPLE on April 8, 2018 wrote:Dana White was sure upset in the immediate aftermath of Conor McGregor attack on a Barclays Center bus Thursday, but the UFC president seems to have softened his stance.
White, who called McGregor’s incident “the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of our company,” backed off his previous comments Saturday at UFC 223 when he claimed that “a lot worse” goes on in other sports.
“People says to me, ‘Oh this looks so bad for the sport,’ and everything else," White said Saturday, according to a USA Today report. “I agree, it doesn’t look good. But at the end of the day, there’s a lot worse that goes on in all the other sports, so I’ll take a dolly through a window any day."
Josh Peter, USA TODAY Sports on April 8, 2018 wrote:UFC president Dana White did not rule out the possibility of Conor McGregor fighting in September when asked Saturday night.
White said he and McGregor talked Friday, a day after the UFC star allegedly attacked a bus and injured other UFC fighters.
Asked how the conversation with McGregor went, White said, "Yeah, it’s good. I think that there’s a mutual respect between us."
While not closing the door on McGregor fighting later this year, White refused to elaborate on the matter during a news conference following the UFC’s fight card in Brooklyn Saturday. He pointed out McGregor is due in court in June. His next scheduled court date is June 14.
McGregor faces up to 11 years in prison for two felony charges, according to New York sentencing guidelines. But three former New York prosecutors told USA TODAY Sports it is unlikely McGregor will serve significant, if any, jail time.
After White said a fight in September had been discussed, a reporter asked if the fight was still possible?
"I don’t know," White said. "You can’t ask me anything about Conor. I don’t know anything about Conor. I haven’t thought about it. There’s nothing to think about this week I think except for this event."
But White, less than 48 hours after he said “absolutely not” when asked if he wanted to be in business with McGregor, clearly had softened his stance.
"I had so many things thrown at me this week," White said. "To focus on this show was insane. We’ll get back and focus on Conor McGregor."
McGregor's manager, Audie Attar, on Friday issued a statement that read in part, "(McGregor) looks forward to getting back to fighting as soon as possible."

also the russian guy is all like
"why did he not come on the buss to fight me"
"i will fight him anytime anywhere.. i am so bad ass..."
why he did not just get off the buss and handle his business...
that would have been a better publicity stunt..
at least more interesting for me..
it would have been captured on the security camera...
