107. It's extremely difficult if not impossible to prove something didn't happen

On the other hand, if something as is alleged here actually did happen, it should be very easy to prove. Video, social media posts, police reports (riot police supposedly called), news reports, etc.- there should be tons of potential sources to confirm this reddit post. As of this minute (3 days after this supposedly happened) there is still absolutely nothing to be found on the internet that even hints that something like a riot against bus drivers occurred except for this post by a complete nobody on reddit. Not even a follow-up from the original poster on reddit.
