In reply to the discussion: The real reason the buses stopped at Coachella? The angry mob attacked the bus drivers. [View all]Wiz Imp
(2,331 posts)55. Sigh. Plenty of criminals "tape" their crimes and post them online
It happens everyday.

At first glance, an offender videotaping their crimes seems like a counterintuitive and counterproductive thing to do. After all, when offenders reach for their cameras, they may inadvertently contribute to their own capture and conviction. In all cases discussed in this article, offenders have ended up producing evidence that was later used against them in court. Yet, publicly available Norwegian higher court decisions suggest that, despite the apparent lack of logic, it is becoming increasingly common.
And it's obvious the MAGA mindset would believe they were doing nothing wrong if they confronted bus drivers. There is no doubt in my mind that if this happened, somebody would have posted video at least hinting that something like this could have happened. They didn't because it's a completely made up story.

There's a big difference between reporting something the candidate for President says vs. something

It Could Be, of Course. Do You Have Any Independent Information, or Even a Suggestion of Where Such Might Be Found?

If this is true, it makes more sense than buses just disappearing for the night.
Think. Again.

Would anything have been reported if the drivers being hurt were black of hispanic? I doubt it really.

The rally was on PRIVATE LAND. That is why the Riverside County Sheriff got involved.

That does not indicate the CHP was involved. In fact, it confirms the Sheriff's Dept. was who was involved.

That is exactly what happened. The rioting made an already poor bus supply collapse.
