The Wrong Bus

AP:

Two Saudi men who boarded a school bus full of children and gave conflicting reasons why there were there were arrested and held without bail, authorities said Sunday.

Mana Saleh Almanajam, 23, and Shaker Mohsen Alsidran, 20, were charged with misdemeanor trespassing and were jailed after a judge said Saturday she wanted more background information on them. A hearing was scheduled Tuesday.

The expected complaint:

Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations, criticized the decision to arrest and detain the men.

"The only reason (this happened) is because of who they are, and that's wrong," he said. "Thus far, it doesn't seem like they've been afforded their full rights for something as simple as getting on the wrong bus."

Here are what Saudi buses look like, which by the way, "contributed to the efforts by the Kingdom to support the Palestinian intifade". They have ads on them, like our commercial buses. Here are what our school buses look like.

They say SCHOOL BUS on them and the stops are not marked for the public. Also, only children ride them.
