The way I read the article, this guy jumped ahead of law abiding people,( sick,old, pregnant, babies, children, etc.) waiting to be boarded and took the bus illegally and drove his gang to houston- and to hell with everyone else. Where's the proof the police told him to take the bus?

In an emergency like this I wouldn't even be looking for a Gov't Official of any kind to show up. Self-sufficiency, and if I don't make it I still wouldn't expect a Gov't Helicopter to save the day. I have the same attitude, and built my house to be 100% self-sufficient for power, water and septic for a minimum of two weeks.
So why do Americans allow the useless Big Stupid Government to steal so much money, only to fall on their asses when needed? Think this will change now? I don't.

And the school district lost one less bus to the flood.

Bumping your post. Every citizen needs an individual plan, also.

Why not, Dallas59?
Are you saying these folks should have disobeyed a police order during a declared National Emergency?

These folks looted a bus. I'm sure you would have properly chartered a Lear jet instead ...

It's bird season out back of my house. If the spent shot doesn't stop rattling on my tin roof sometime soon I might have to call somebody at Fish and Game or the Troopers. Oh, wait, they will just laugh and tell me it's normal weather this time of year. Good thing I have grub here for the duration, because it might be dicey getting to the SUV to go into town.

"How do you feel about Texas being inundated with these folks?"
I'm so happy you asked this ,because it gives me the chance to say,I welcome them.
NO is a beautiful city.Once order is restored, the refugees will return to NO. I hope that they remember the Texans as being hospitable.

How do you feel about Texas being inundated with these folks? Frankly it's scaring the heck out of my friends family and myself. I can see the atrodome trashed or worse, there will be anarchy here on the streets of Dallas. Put them in military bases where they can be watched and the citizens of Texas will be safe. *********************************************
They are Americans,
stopem. They have the Right of Travel, just as you do.
Telling them they can't come to Texas reduces them in rank to that of illegal immigrants, who we actually can lawfully restrict.

Heavens to Betsey! Better watch out that these horrible colored folks just might get a glance of Highland Park and we'd be ruined ....

Thank you for your Christian duty. It is a light yoke, that will be rewarded, though not here!
Sitting around pondering, I think one of the most immediate things is to involve people back into their own destiny. Give people the job of cleaning, and fixing meals. Get them active, and proactive...

The POLICE TOLD them to do it. Take the bus and GET OUT. This is probably one of the smartest things they could have done. They even paid their own way there. # 16 by MadeInAmerica *********************************************
Even
without police permission, these folks were right to take that bus.
Government workers are not required to help citizens just because we may need help. In an emergency, waiting for aid from someone else is plain foolishness.

I don't care about his English skills. Any 20 year-old who hops behind the wheel of a bus for the first time and drives a bunch of refugees on a five-hour ride should immediately be named Chief Bus Driver for New Orleans, the State of Louisiana, or whatever. Heck --
let him serve as the UN's Grand Master Bus Driver for All of Mankind.Jabbar Gibson bump. Many more stories will come out of just this kind of heroism and bravery. This will be one of many finest hours for America, as well as some of it's darkest. I think the finest will win.

Yeah, especially with the horror stories we keep hearing about the 'Thugs of New Orleans'. Let these young citizens be an example to the children that they saved.
