No, not JUST because its not being reported its because it seems to only be coming from one (obviously not the most objective) source. We have heard nothing from any other source about this, especially not the buss company and I would personally appreciate the ability to have patience and see if there is any mileage in this.

Ok got lucky and found something digging through comments.
Bus Companies Page on Face book
Not sure if you have to sign in. With someone other then the site saying there was an incident, yes it did happen. Driver really put his foot in it. Wonder how far this will go.
Buslines with Face Book pages wtf?

Okay, now that looks interesting. Does it have a link to its actual homepage?
A letter from the bus company was provided in several of the stories, and it's not that people are asking for patience, or verification it's that people go steps beyond that to suspicion or even dismissal, coming up with tortured justifications for why this must be fake.
Some things get reported. Other things don't. I've seen a car crash reported on the news without any fatalities or other injuries, I've also seen car crashes that weren't reported on the news. I've seen police cars called to a house, but no news report. I've seen one person caught for speeding and it did appear in the news. You could ascribe a meaning of it not happening to not being covered, or just as easily, it could be the media just doesn't care that much.
If you're going to insist on us being open-minded and fair, at least show some effort yourself.

It has a link on its homepage to its facebook page.

Josef:Not that I see. It seems fairly bare bones.
blue: and I care what you have to say now why?
And so it does have a link from their online business page. Jumped right there. For the curious

Well considering until this page the only thing weve seen is "we are investigating this" it does seem to jump the gun, even now it sounds as if they are looking into the matter and calling for blood of the intollerent does not exactly make you look tollerant.
What a lovely bunch of highly tolerant people.

I'm locking this thread down, since it has largely ceased to be about the incident, and has become about what various posters think other posters' reactions say about the other poster in general.
In other words, it's gotten both off-topic and personal.

The language, the hosting site, the convenience of the story, and the very obvious comparison to a past civil rights event are all nice red flags too. It is entirely possible it is fabricated. Until some other source then the originating site and a handful of blogs shows up we have plenty of reason to question this.
However while trying to search for anyone at all carrying this story I did come across a Latin Kings Member serving time for assaulting gays is suing the city of new york because his wrist was injured in a prison bus crash. Please tell me how this is even news worthy or important yet it is reported. It also has no links to any serious recent events.
I think some of you are far to willing to believe the story. On first glance was ok could be interesting. But when I finished the article the whole thing came across as fishy.
