This kid might be in legal trouble for doing this. Is there a way to shield him from overzealous prosecutors?

1. He's already in jail. n/t

[halobeam]

2. He deserves the freedom medal.

4. They put this hero in jail!?!?!

I can't believe this!

3. Governor Blanco needs to pardon him.

The "crime" of saving people was committed in Louisiana.

6. He saved POOR people

he should have saved RICH people! Then he would be given a medal of freedom.

Let's make this guy a symbol of their incompetence, an 18 year-old, who saw a need and jumped into action.

Make his name famous, he's a hero ~ how can we do this? Bush and his criminal cohorts should already have been arrested.

The news is now saying that as many as 10,000 people have died. Will we see a National Day of Mourning for them? Like the 9/11 victims? If not, why not?

If they don't do it, we must ~ the millions of us who are horrified by their criminally negligent homicide, and their nonsensical attempts to defend themselves now, they literally make me sick.

This kid needs to be honored and his bravery and quick-thinking used as an example of what leadership ought to be. The cowards running this country are a disgrace to humanity. He is a hero!!

I just heard the Coward in the WH, 'remembering Rehnquist'????? But not a word about his dead, fellow citizens?? Rage and anger are the feelings I am hearing from every, single person I talk to. Don't they KNOW that they have now crossed a line that cannot by spun?

5. "in an extreme act of looting"

How fuckin ridiculous. How many people in emergency situations would be incarcerated under that standard.

13. in the same breath freepers say NO folks not "helping themselves"

of course we can never do anything to please them completely unless we are their abject slaves

[leveymg]

7. Makes one wonder, how many others could have gotten out?

[Jack_DeLeon]

12. alot more...

havent you seen that picture of a parking lot full of school buses, only that they were all flooded out because nobody took them first.

8. God Bless the child that's got his own

I want to hug that young fella.

9. To bad that 250-300 other enterprising youths

couldnt have stolen the 250-300 buses that were allowed to become water logged and gotten more out. I doubt he will be convicted of this good dead.

[Jack_DeLeon]

10. That guy is a fucking Hero and regardless of what happens to him...

if some fucktard prosecutor tries to get charges against him atleast he can say that he is alive, and that he saved lives.

As many gun owners are found of saying, better to be tried by 12 than to be carried dead by 6.

I dont think any jury would convict him.

11. Jabbar Gibson's was the first bus to arrive!

Jabbar Gibson (a natural born leader)...

- 18 Years old
- Never drove a bus before
- Saved 100 people

Someone should put him in charge.
