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.

    It's less about race than it is about class/wealth. Not even poor people want to live next to poor people (and with good reason). Blacks tend to be poorer than whites, so you can make it a racial thing if you want, but that tends to not be the real issue.

    Race is TOTALLY the issue. I grew up in an area that started experiencing rapid growth in the last ~15-20 years. It WAS rural and 100% white, but now it's very diverse. I often get asked "weren't you scared? I heard that's a bad area" by crackerjack whites. No, it's not a bad area, it's relatively well-to-do and has almost no crime. I'm incredibly glad I went to school there and was exposed to blacks, arabs, asians, etc etc because so many people are scared of the world for ignorance.
