The question is: Will he be charged with a crime? I heard he might be.
He'd better not be charged with a single blessed thing except for probably saving seventy people's lives.
Oh, I don't doubt that Mayor Nagin would love to charge him with grand theft auto, operating an unlicensed jitney service, operating a passenger conveyance without a commercial drivers' license, etc, etc.
Put the people in the bus on the jury.
As the late Johnny Cochran would say
If the passengers live you must forgive.
He'd better not be charged with a crime.
He saved almost 80 people!
I also saw one middle-aged man in NO who found a car sitting around, he needed to get his family out of town, so he took the car and filled it with people but he was arrested by the pd!
They cuffed him.
In an emergency situation, that's just wrong. He was no gang-banger stealing that car.
For what, the crime of not consulting a lawyer first or the crime of using common sense?
I read that too. I am so digusted with our govt that I know they will aresst him and probably give Nagin a prize.
Do you think a prosecutor would even consider this? Not only would he/she no longer be one, I doubt there is a jury anywhere who would convict.
I read that a New Orleans cop told him to take the bus, fill it with people and get out of town. I want to know where he bought the diesel fuel for a 13-hour drive to Houston and who paid for it. I guess they passed the hat inside that bus and bought diesel at a truck stop.
