re: 11 year old steals bus this morning from Scotlandville area

..he was obviously just trying to get to school..

Could you imagine sitting a red light on a Sunday morning and a school bus with a 7 year old driving pulls up next to you? I’d be in complete disbelief.

What would you even do? I would probably be thinking “WTF is going on here?” And be so flabbergasted that I doubt if even call the police.

Dylan Roof got McDonalds after he was arrested.

I have no idea if that's true, I just saw people say then on twitter..

Definitely a 2020 pick right there lol

With the amount of McDonalds locations I would imagine the number is much higher than that

Dude went down Scenic / Airline / Independence in front of state police HQ (LOL) / Greenwell Springs. I’m impressed he managed that route before finally ditching it. He had to have been standing up driving that thing. No way his little arse was reaching the pedals sitting down

looking at the clip, I think that's the Harding/Plank intersection at the beginning. Harding comes from Scotlandville (passes I 110 and the airport), becomes Hooper after crossing Plank. Hooper is a straight shot down to Greenwell Springs Rd, where Hooper ends. If that's the case, he got the bus moving, and just kept it on the road until it ended (and that's when he hit the tree).

My guess is, he was fricking around doing something "crazy" out of mischief/boredom, got it rolling, and he couldn't have stopped if he wanted to.

I live along that route, I hear lots of power is still out in Central, and definitely the Plank/Harding intersection was dark this morning (it's where I catch the interstate going to work). Road narrows to 2 lane a few times, kinda surprised he didn't take out a pickup or 2 at a couple of the Hooper intersections... if you're stuck on Hooper at Joor, there ain't many places to get out of the way.

edit to add

I stand corrected , he did.

Again for sake of disclosure, I live out on that route. It wouldn't shock me at all if the baw in the truck saw it rolling, said "frick it, I'm going, I got right of way" and didn't get out of the way. We've got some special truck drivers out here, I've been passed by F 150's a hundred yards from a red light. I generally just look at them and say "really, man? What the frick ya doing?"

It's fire—and it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my, get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames, and the—and it's falling on the mooring-mast and all the folks agree that this is terrible, this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world. It's–it's–it's the flames, oh, four- or five-hundred feet into the sky and it ... it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen. It's smoke, and it's flames now ... and the frame is crashing to the ground, not quite to the mooring-mast. Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here. I told you, I can't even talk to people whose friends are on there. Ah! It's–it's–it's–it's ... o–ohhh! I–I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it's just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk, and the screaming.

Another great start for the BLM people... he in handcuffs before he is a teen, guess he was going to go to the only place his papa could be

I mean, is it really necessary to handcuff the kid?

They had around eight cop cars chasing him at high speeds. Think OJ Bronco Chase, but they're all going 55 in a 35 zone.
