Filed under "Now WTF?":

A friend on a lawyer listserve sent me this story. This kid is definitely getting a pro bono lawyer. He found an abandoned bus in New Orleans, packed it with survivors, and drove it to the Astrodome. The reaction of the officials? They're going to charge him with theft. Unbelievable.

Now ain't that just some shit?

This kid takes an abandoned bus and evacuates a lot of people to Houston.

The reporters all characterize it as "theft." Somehow, I think if the refugees had been white, they would have called it "commandeered" and lauded him as a hero.

Its almost enough to make a man paranoid.
