[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprise, surprise - all of this is completely exaggerated.  I’ll take the word of Omaha police and others who were actually there.

That sounds terrible. I don't see the exaggeration?[/quote]

Seriously! If someone doesn't see a problem when an event that ends at 9:03 PM doesn't get the last participants back to their cars until 11:45 PM, leaving them waiting outside in freezing, windy temperatures, then I don't know what to say.[/quote]

“The Omaha Airport Authority said the Trump campaign rented 40 buses to transport people from remote parking lots to the event site and ran them for 10 hours. The bus company confirmed Wednesday that those drivers were paid, deflating another incorrect rumor circulating on social media.

OPD said additional Metro Area Transit buses were called in after the event to help transport people away from the rally.

Transportation from the site to parking areas began immediately following the event, an OAA spokesman said, but many people opted to forego the wait for a bus ride and walk back to their vehicles. OPD said the shortest walk back to a parking lot was 2.5 miles and that “foot traffic on Lindberg Drive slowed bus traffic and delayed bus trips considerably.”[/quote]

All of that is 100% predictable and should have been planned for. If it is that hard to get in and out this was a terrible site for a public event of this size. [/quote]
