It's interesting that the TV station's story talked about the sheriff's office helping transport some people to their cars. Since the TV station obviously talked to the sheriff's office and a bus driver apparently told the station he was assaulted, wouldn't it make sense either for the TV station to ask the sheriff's office about the alleged assault or for the sheriff's office to tell the TV station about it? Shouldn't there be some sort of police report over any assault incident? While it's something, at this point there's still no real evidence that the reddit post was factual. It's curious that the supposed assault is mentioned in passing and there was no attempt to confirm it. If there is truly anything to it, I would expect to see more info very quickly. We'll see.
