I have not commented before on this stupid Punk because I do not wish to add to his notoriety. He thrives on the publicity he is receiving, and the more forums that have threads on him, the more it will encourage him to continue his antics. What he does is a serious threat to public safety, and I don't like adding stuffing to his ego. It is overstuffed enough IMHO.
The latest I read on this Punk kid is that he stole a Cessna Columbia 400 (ne Lancair) in Indiana and flew it all the way to the Bahamas where he ditched it in shallow water and ran ashore. He is now harrasing the locals in Abaco Cay, and he will be lucky if he gets out of there before the local gendarmes catch him. I hear the local jails aren't all that nice compared to stateside Juvenile Hall.
The Idle Youth of Washinton State may consider him a folk hero, but in reality he is a public nuisance at best, and a bona fide danger to public safety at worst. This 19 year old will never grow up, will never stop stealing, and will either end up behind bars for a long time or will be killed by his own stupid actions. I just hope he doesn't kill any innocent bystanders in the process, but history tells us otherwise.
