.....so the 'Barefoot Bandit' was caught down in the Bahama's.......high speed boat chase ends without death.........i was kinda 'rootin' for the teenage criminal..........

.....what i don't understand is how can this kid steal a plane from Bloomington, Indiana, and fly it to the Bahama's without notice??  I mean, how can that happen....can you actually fly under the radar? did he have help?  couldn't he have wrecked into another plane on the way?

....he just learned how to fly a plane by reading the manual......crazy kid.......

One report I was reading said he practiced flight training on Microsoft Flight software.  When I tried that program I flew so many planes into buildings, I was nervous that Homeland Security may visit me   Grin

So like your Mother said to you "If your friends jumped off the bridge you would follow?"  Just because some werid demented folks cheer on criminals that makes it ok for you to do it.  Al you better raise your standards to that which you accuse others of not following.  Just sayin.   Wink

....appears 'the bandit' has a few fans out there................

"Criminals have been achieving cult status for about as long as they have been committing crimes. Beyond the legend of Robin Hood, famous robbers like Jesse James and John Dillinger won fans simply by taking the wealthy and powerful down a notch. "

Cult status= Losers that don't have anything better to do with their time then live through someone else's doings.
