Teenager does what the Mayor of NO and his staff did not
HOUSTON -- Thousands of refugees of Hurricane Katrina were transported to the Astrodome in Houston this week. In an extreme act of About 100 people packed into the stolen bus. They were the first to enter the Houston Astrodome, but they weren't exactly welcomed. The big yellow school bus wasn't expected or approved to pass through the stadium's gates. Randy Nathan, who was on the bus, said they were desperate to get out of town. Eighteen-year-old Jabbor Gibson jumped aboard the bus as it sat abandoned on a street in New Orleans and took control. The 18-year-old who ensured their safety could find himself in a world of trouble for stealing the school bus. Arrest him? Hell, Bush ought to pin a medal on him! This "kid" showed he smarter than his mayor and the disaster planning staff of his city and state. "I just took the bus and drove all the way here...seven hours straight,' Gibson admitted. "I hadn't ever drove a bus." The teen packed it full of complete strangers and drove to Houston. He beat thousands of evacuees slated to arrive there. "If it werent for him right there," he said, "we'd still be in New Orleans underwater. He got the bus for us." "It's better than being in New Orleans," said fellow passenger Albert McClaud, "we want to be somewhere where we're safe." "I dont care if I get blamed for it ," Gibson said, "as long as I saved my people." Inventiveness (Find the bus, and figure out what you can do) Initiative (Don't wait for the Govt, just get the job done) Selflessness (did you note that those were strangers he picked up!), Determination (drove 7 hours solid with no experience and in hurricane weather) Bravery (taking 100 people's lives in your hands in hurricane weather with no training is not for the timid of heart - and he's standing up and daring them to convict him!) This kid is a classic American hero. During a long and impatient delay, children popped their heads out of bus windows and mothers clutched their babies. One 8-day-old infant spent the first days of his life surrounded by chaos. He's one of the many who are homeless and hungry. Authorities eventually allowed the renegade passengers inside the dome. Compare and contrast to almost 500 buses left underwater in the middle of New orleans, who in 2 tround trips could have evacuated nearly 50,000 people in 24 hours to surrounding cities and safety - and could have been used to ferry in supplies, police and EMS through water up to 3+ feet deep on the way back. THis one is going to come back and bite that idiot "Blame everyone but myself" Mayor Naggy square in the ass (if the MSM picks up on it - and the photos are there!)
