Assuming this wasn’t staged I’m guessing that the individual who got thrown off the bus did something creepy as f**k in the presence of school children to trigger such a reaction?
Just being an unaccounted for adult on a school bus is enough, i’d say.
Hmm, yeah. Smells like more faux-viral marketing to me.
After a smidgen of Street Viewing (only so many Rainbow shops) I’ve found where this was filmed:
The store you see at the end is 16516 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica, NY 11432
Hard to imagine what they’d be marketing this way, unless the person dressed as a child was part of a prank show or something.
Yes, just as I stated in my post.
Me too. But then, that could be part of the intrigue, you see.
Yep, I guess I was just expressing agreement.
This was staged. The reveal is just too choreographed.
Yep, a skit: https://www.instagram.com/danieljean56/

Like their mere presence when they aren’t supposed to be there?
I am guessing it’s staged.
Okay, so this was obviously staged…
Seriously, what purpose does this stunt serve?
Internet purposes.
I’m going to start using that whenever someone asks why I am doing/did something.
Am I the only one uncomfortable with the aspect of using someone who has dwarfism (I think) for amusement purposes? I mean, it’s not throwing him up against a dart board, but it’s not that far off.
I’m sure the little person was in on it. If not, then he deserved to be kicked off the bus for impersonating a school kid.
Sounds like you don’t know what I’m talking about. And I don’t really want to google to give you direct links to the phenomenon of ‘dwarf throwing’ in bars.
People with physical disabilities can suffer from self-hate and allow bad things to happen to them. Plus, life is expensive, and sometimes you’ve got to do things you don’t like in order to put food on the table. That’s not really a free choice.
