The Media: Jabbor Gibson
No real media exposure for him!

Old story but every time I come across it I am amazing at the very brave young man. He saw a need and got the job done, sadly I can’t say the same about many politicians. The media did not cover this much. The only interview I saw was on FOX, Greta Van Susteren did a piece. The funny thing is that all the unfounded stories about thugs, rapes, murder, which turned out to be false were splashed all over the world. But nothing of this courageous young man!

This is why new need news media outlets run by Africans to cover our stories, issues etc,. Not just shaking booty like BET.

Ain't he the same one who got busted a month ago or so on some drug charges? Can't remember the name, but similar story...young dude (I'm thinking age 20) took an abandoned school bus and drove a bunch of folks out of NO...then little while back got busted with another dude in a car full of drugs after running from the cops.

Yes, I believe so Bakes, can't confirm it though...but yes I vaguely remember something about drug charges. Quick question, should this alleged infraction change our commendation of his brave action?
