Really Impressive Florida Kid Stole a School Bus and Drove It 14 Miles To Walmart For No Apparent Reason
News Herald - Deputies have arrested a 12-year-old boy after an early morning joy ride across the county in a school bus. Employees of the Wal-Mart at 10270 Front Beach Road notified a Bay County deputy of a school bus awkwardly maneuvering through the parking lot at about 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to a news release. Though not causing a safety concern, it seemed strange the driver could not quite figure out how to park. “It was just odd the way they were driving it,” said Roy Hoover, a Wal-Mart employee. “He was having a hard time parking it, like he’d never drove one before.” When the deputy pulled behind bus 746 with his emergency lights on, young driver Michael Wade Propst stepped out. He initially said a man named “ Constantine ” asked him to get gas for the bus. Deputies later discovered the school bus had been taken overnight from a residence at 508 Maine Ave. in Parker, and driven nearly flawlessly across Bay County to the Front Beach Road Wal-Mart. The actual bus driver apparently had left the keys in the bus, and Propst admitted to taking it by himself, police reports stated. The child’s motive is unknown. “You have to take a weeklong course to operate a bus like that,” Jones said. “Yet at 12 he was able to drive one, and he didn’t just take it around the block.” Propst made the 14-mile trek, which wends along U.S. Business 98 and over the Hathaway Bridge , without tipping off law enforcement along the way. Despite his apparently graceful driving, Propst is facing serious charges for the incident, authorities said.
This is seriously one of the most impressive things I’ve ever read. School busses are fucking huge. This kid is 12. And he ho hum, no frets, stole one and drove it to Walmart for the love of the game. That’s insane. Talk about a natural. A savant. A prodigy. Some kids growing up play baseball in their backyard and pretend to be Cal Ripken. Some kids take a bunch of pictures on their cell phone and think they’re gonna be a photographer. Nope, not this kid. He wants to be a school bus driver, and he’ll be fucked to the moon if anyone is gonna stop him. What’s with all these laws about when you can or cannot be a school bus driver? Communist scum stopping this kid from living out his dream, so he took his dream into his own hands. I can’t believe they want to press charges against him. Oh sorry, for what? Being too good of a driver? Making all the other school bus drivers look like assholes? Being too big, too strong, too fast, too school bus? Cause that’s all he did. He didn’t choose the school bus life, the school bus life chose him. And he took that school bus by the horn and made it his bitch.
