I love Todd Gambino who rescued 200 people. But get this... |
|
did he just take someone's boat to rescue those people? I think that's what he said on the air. And do I understand correctly that the kid who took a school bus and rescued 70 people was arrested for stealing a bus? In either situation, I don't give a shit how the hero's carried out their acts of heroism BUT this is a perfect example of the bias in reporting and the media and people's thinking.
Hats off to Todd. Thank you!!!

1. No story that I've seen says that Jabbor Gibson was arrested. |
|
I think that was just a rumor based on the observation, by some reporter, that he could have gotten in trouble for taking the bus.

It didn't say he was arrested...but look at the text "extreme act of looting" "renegade passengers" Now you tell me if race is not an issue. http://www.newschannel5.tv/2005/9/1/4255/Taking-refuge-in-the-Astrodome
