WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A boy grabbed the steering wheel on a school bus and hit the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a safe stop on a busy Detroit-area road after the driver had passed out, authorities said.
“Someone call 911. Now!” seventh-grader Dillon Reeves shouted to dozens of other middle-school kids on the bus Wednesday.
Dillon was hailed as a hero: He stopped the bus as it was veering toward oncoming traffic.
“In my 35-plus years of education, this was an extraordinary act of courage and maturity on his part,” said Robert Livernois, superintendent of Warren Consolidated Schools.
The incident was recorded on a video camera just above the driver. The video shows the driver fanning herself with a baseball cap and informing the transportation office that she needs to pull over.
Seconds later, Dillon jumped into action, hitting the brake pedal and clutching the steering wheel.
“I don’t know that it could have gone any better,” Livernois said, noting that adults helped kids out the back door. “When you have an anchor like Dillon taking care of business on the bus, it really and truly was a good day for us.”
Dillon declined to speak to reporters Thursday, but his parents, Steve and Ireta Reeves, were proud.
“We’ve got a little hero,” Dillon’s dad said. “He’s been on my lap driving country roads, pulling into driveways since about 4 years old. … He’s a good driver.”
The white kids I went to Catholic school with some 50 years ago were bad enough. Something was already wrong in this country, it didn't start just yesterday. -RM
jerry pdx First negro I saw, or met, was my first grade school teacher. She was a former beauty queen (not really former, she was still young and beautiful) who decided to become a nun. I still remember that gorgeous face framed by that coif and her sweet personality. All the kids loved her, especially me because even at that young age I had an eye for the ladies.
The kid/wrestler who was sucker punched in the face is clearly white. His parents were there watching/filming the match, and were obviously angry. Both rush onto the mat after the punch.
The father of the kid who was punched, who looks like he could do some damage himself, showed admirable restraint. The mother was shocked. You can clearly here her scream "What the fuck!".
Hopefully they are now two more race realists as of that moment.
"The white kids I went to Catholic school with some 50 years ago were bad enough."
Bad enough how? 50 years ago was the early 1970s, when the country was still sane, 90% white, and largely segregated. I also attended Catholic school, pretty much 100% white from what I remember, including all the teachers, many of them nuns, and there was no issue.
Can you imagine nuns teaching a class full of black kids?Me neither.I believe they would have had exorcisms performed on the negroes we read about assaulting teachers,fighting in class,screaming out loud.
I never saw a negro until I was 13 or 14--in a kids bowling league.A good childhood in that respect.My side of Grand Rapids was 100% White

It was all downhill from there.

ReplyDeleteWho was "not white"?
