Come on... The guy has about a million friends on Facebook so it's okay to say that you are kinda secretly pullin' fir him... You won't get arrested...

Well, sniff... Looks as if the "Barefoot Bandit" has been caught in the Bahamas after stealin' a plane, flyin' it there, kinda crashin' it there, partyin' there, stealin' a getaway boat there only to have the Bahama cops shoot out both engines on the stolen boat and arrest poor ol' Colton...

BTW, me thinls now that Colton has been caught there will be alot more publicity about the stuff he's been doing... Up to now he's been purdy much a Facebook folk hero... He's got over 70,000 friends so, hey, the kid can't be all bad... And at 19 years old, even if he gets 10-15 years he'll be out in his 30s and prolly go on to become either a model citizen or a better thief???

Maybe he'll break out again .... if he does, he might just find his way to your neck of the woods Bobert and break his way into your house and steal your guitar ... then I might consider becoming a fan of his.

come on ... not everyone who owns a plane is rich ... probably some poor schmuck trying to make a living doing some independant island charters was a victim ... hell, this kid could have crashed into a residential area causing death and destruction.

I worry now about any copycat's that will surely follow all this .. fueled by all this mass media crap

No ... I'll pass on any hero-fan worship of this kid.

Ya'll need to lighten up... Hey, if the kid steals my geetar then more power to him... Maybe I catch him and we have a nice evenin' drenkin' shine, smokin' a little evil weed and swappin' lies...

Come on, ya'll... Airplanes??? Yeah, I know that lotta folks ain't rich that has 'um... My brother ain't rich but he's had a few... Seems he finds one that's been repo'd and buys it from the bank fir cheap and then flips it and buys a better one which he paints and redoes in the insides and sells it and gets another one... Then he needs money for his boat-shaped-object so he sells that one and dumps it into the boat-shaped-object and buys a beater Censn 171 and starts all over again...

But most folks ain't like my brother... No, make that "no folks like my brother"... Most airplanes is owned by folks who are comfy... And most of them are insured...

Hey, ya'll... Kids don't come along like this every day... This one is special... Mark ol' hillbilly's words...

Your so full of the crappola Bobert ... if this kid never existed and someone had broken into your home and stolen your guitar you would post a thread here in the Mudcat cryin' the blues about someone stealing 'ol Bobert's guitar and how low can someone be ... I can see it all now.

I think you have smoked way too much of the ganja Bobert.

"...too much ganja", biLL???

What you smokin' to say somethin' that rediculous??? Ain't no such thing as "too much ganja"... I mean, if I could, I'd shower in it, sleeep on it, eat it fir breakfast, run my tratcor on it and grow me a bigass 4 acres of it fir all them uses...

Oh yeah, I might even stick a little in a pipe and burn it... Might have 5 minutes ago??? Who knows...

But let's get real here on the kid...

Lotta folk did some dumass stuff long time ago... I know, I did... Yeah, I remember hot wiring (which was easy on 50s and 60s cars) my 3rd grade teacher, Miss Garner's car, a beat up 'ol '52 Oldsmobile, 'bout every Friday night for a couple years...

So??? This kid steals a few Cesnas??? Who cares??? Hey, he a kid... And a purdy smart one at that... That is the real stroy here... The kid is 19 years old and has pulled off more thefts that anyone in anyone's memory...

If he wants to come in and steal my geetar??? Okee dockeee, youngin'.... Come on in and we'll drenk us a couple and we tlak about the geetar... Deal???"...

B~

p.s. Ya' look at the news every night and see where this person shot another person and another person shot this person... Then it breaks away to, ahhhh, this kid??? He breaks into folks places and steals a few trickets and then it's to cars, boats and airplanes??? Purdy cool, I'd say...

Like I said, ""Steal my geetar..."...

"Maybe some other folks get on the "Colton Ain't Hitler" bandwagen then maybe we can have some fun"

Jeeezuz .... this Harris-Moore kid is nothing but a f**k up ... a product of a f**ked up society who are so desperate for heros they have become so deranged as to make him into some sort of shining beacon of hope and rightiousness .. and if that isn't enough they'll make him into a media star.

so pack that in your pipe and smoke it.

"The kid ain't never been ugly with no one"

that's the impression the "buck chasing" media wants you to believe ... pump up the lunatic carnival to attract the deranged to pay for the spectacle ... you've bought into it, the carnies certainly have hooked you into the illusion. A lot of money is to be made at the expense of someone else.

the other view

As far as I'm concerned, one's personal property is their property. No one has a right to just go and take it. This goes for the rich and the poor.

All this in some ways reminds me of a scene from the movie Che .. "Guevara spots some revolutionaries driving a stolen car in the convoy and orders them to return it. Even if it belonged to a loyalist soldier, the movement cannot expect to bring about massive change if they do not hold to their ideals"

I guess I try to hold on to these "ideals".

Good one VT ... very good! *lol*

May I suggest you wait about a month after it's initial release. By then you'll find it in the bargain bin for a couple of bucks ... Geeez, pick up copy of Avatar while your at it, it's now in that bargain bin also.

People tend too tire of their heros very fast these days, heros become the flavour of the week. Much like pop music, movies and TV programs

Yer prolly rioght about folks tirin' on Colton but it all depends on how the media wants to cover his trial... I mean, his lawyer has allready been on Good Morning, America...

Me thinks this one could be the motherload for the media...

"Buy in"??? Well, yeah, you could say that... I like a good criminal story... Maybe comes from havin' once been a jail-house teacher, I donno???

I'm getting rather tired of crooks. Just too many of them around these days. .. corporate crooks, gang crooks, politikal crooks, small time punk crooks, right wing crooks, left wing crooks ... They'll all rip you off one way or another. All in all, a crook is a crook.

man ... according to Wikepedia this kid came from an extremely f**ked up home life .... Jeeeezuz, he certainly needs help (if it's not too late) ... the last thing he needs is all this media hoopla and carnival atmosphere making him out to be some sort of hero or rock star .... that in itself would just screw him up even more.

So, get on board the "Colton Express"" ... this is far from being "fun"

It's an extremely sad story. I just hope he can get the help he deserves.

Settle down, biLL... Colton will have his little circus and then it will pass and he'll be in jail for an extended period of time... If I had to guess, he'll get 12 to 15 years... Will he get the help he needs??? Of course, he won't... Incarceration isn't at all about anyone getting anything in the way of help with the exception of...

...the prison/industrial complex which will do just fine...

As for now I'm gonna just settle back with a bowl of Orville Rickenbacker popcorn and take in the show... Oughtta be a dandy... Lot better than the O.J. trial, I hope... But who knows... The Caribeans may not go along with extridition and try him there??? That would be a bummer...

I'd lock the little shit up and hide the key until I could be certain that he realised how thoughtless, stupid,and downright dangerous,not to mention anti-social,his actions had been .Then I'd let him out,tag him,put him on probation for twenty years,and make it a criminal offence for anyone to write a book or make a film about him, unless ALL the profits went to charity .
