Fearing Immigrant Protests, Apple Suspends Mission Shuttles

An anonymous Apple employee just sent us this internal advisory, asking:

Do you know anything about this? Is it protestors in general, or I wonder if it's anti-yuppie protest shit?

Via Twitter, it appears to be an immigrant rights protest:

Clearly, Apple is concerned about a repeat of last year's May Day chaos, or maybe protestors hitting the buses with bats in hopes of finding Skittles.

Who is marching, non-citizen immigrants, or immigrants from the Ozark, Appalachia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Slab City, Longuyland, and the Dakotas? Did I leave your place out? So sorry.

Oh, wait a minute! Is this a May Day march? Are there any true liberals left in San Francisco, or have they pretty much been squozen out by the flannels?

Who has 48 unread text messages??

It’s easy for them to accumulate if you are able to see the full message in the alert window that pops up when they first come in. Then you never go in an “read” them.

Yeah but what kind of brain disorder must you have to be ok with seeing a big red “48” glaring at you every time you unlock your phone?

That’s why you hide the messaging and phone apps in a folder on your last screen.

this is some life hacking shit right here

That sucks! How in the world did they get back to Valencia and 20somethingith from Van Ness and Market!

Walking; it’s an urban phenomenon.

It’s May Day, happens every year on May 1st. It’s a bigger deal in Europe as labor is all but non-existent in the US these days. This is basic history taught in most primary schools.

I don’t think anyone doesn’t understand that May 1st is Labor Day/Worker’s Day.

Maybe I don’t spend enough time around the mentally retarded.

Not true, I see you in the MissionMission comment section all the time.

There is a protest every May 1st in the mission district in SF. Were hoping for immigration reform and more protection for labor workers. Have some respect people.Shows how rooted the individual that sent this is with the mission district. ” wonder if it’s anti-yuppie protest shit?” “or maybe protestors hitting the buses with bats in hopes of finding Skittles.” ←—-Really people really???

Skittles goes with the bus pinata flyer for that day.
