5 shuttle buses chartered by Google, Apple apparently vandalized on I-280, possibly with pellet gun
Shuttle buses carrying Apple and Google employees were apparently vandalized Tuesday while traveling to and from the South Bay, officials said. No injuries were reported.
Five buses driving in the northbound and southbound directions of Interstate 280 between Highway 84 and Highway 85 were damaged during the Tuesday morning and evening commute, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Four buses were chartered by Apple and one by Google, the officer said. The Apple campus is located off I-280 in Cupertino. Google headquarters is in Mountain View off Highway 101.
According to Montiel, several bus windows were damaged and cracked, possibly by pellet guns, BB guns or rocks.
According to an article on TechCrunch
In response, we've learned that Apple has rerouted the bus routes for employees living in San Francisco, adding 30-45 minutes of commute time each way, as the company works with authorities to see what exactly is going on.

Makes sense. Billionaires always ride in buses. No way this is targeting rank and file employees. Yep, definitely targeting the decision making people.

Blow up the buses, kill the employees, and then who will want to work for the billionaires?

Or you can just look in the mirror and realize you're a useless nobody. Maybe you can still change, it's not too late. It's either that or the cops eventually find you.

The billionaires are hidden behind high walls.
For now.

Those walls are only going to get higher while people keep voting R.

You're assuming that these actions are... rational isn't the right word here. But if you're a person who's been "fucked by the man", then you're going to target whoever you can get access to. Can't reach the billionaires? Go after the billionaire's cronies because they're still "part of the problem".
