Some people are just assholes by nature. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, I would break shit and come up with new variations on mailbox baseball from time to time (mailbox golf, mailbox hockey, mailbox wrangling,) and it was just because I was immature.
Bullying and vandalism of this sort are ways for insecure individuals to compensate for their own inadequacies by putting themselves in a position of power while maintaining a low risk of negative consequences. They were vandalizing the bus stop under cover of darkness when fewer people were around, and since they outnumbered you they had an advantage and were unlikely to suffer any consequences for insulting you. It's best to ignore them unless you feel you're at risk of being injured so you deny them the pleasure of getting a reaction.
