In reply to the discussion: Local bus driver claims he was assaulted after the Donald Trump rally in Coachella [View all]catchnrelease
(2,011 posts)7. Re: the hours they were hired
What do you want to bet that if they were hired to work after 10pm, or for more than 5 hrs, there would have been overtime involved and you know the campaign didn't want to do that. They don't want to even pay the normal costs for rallys, let alone anything extra. I can imagine one of the organizers saying something like 'Five hours is enough time to get them out of there, we're not paying overtime!'

OP
The problem is, the bus driver may be afraid of retaliation if he's named. Much like the Arlington employee.

Why did you find it so hard to believe Trumpers could be violent? Jan. 6, hello?

It's one thing to say you're not sure, but another to say you think it didn't happen.

I'm not lying. And I do understand English. How about you stop with the insults?

No, the bus driver described a crowd committing violence, much more than merely "unruly."

I went back and looked at all the threads I could find on this from Sunday and Monday.

You said "There were a lot of Sherlocks on here that also didn't believe that the bus thing happened at all. "
