Here's the story of an 18 yr old young man, who "stole" an abandoned school bus and picked up strangers on his way to Houston to escape katrina. Hero? or thief? Looters steal TV's, VCRs and stuff, but desparate people "borrow" water and food and buses in order to survive, in my opinion. Here is the story:
"Eighteen-year-old Jabbor Gibson jumped aboard the bus as it sat abandoned on a street in New Orleans and took control. "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. Authorities eventually allowed the renegade passengers inside the dome. But the 18-year-old who ensured their safety could find himself in a world of trouble for stealing the school bus.
"I dont care if I get blamed for it," Gibson said, "as long as I saved my people."
