ExiledInIllinois Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Good, hopefully he'll be put away for life. Really? Of course he needs to do time... But life? Not that I agree with what he is doing... But society needs people like this to shake the tree a little... Cause some havoc. It keeps us all on our toes. Just think how boring life would be if we all towed the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that if you were one of the people who's homes were broken into or had your plane or boat stolen you'd have a different take. This guy is no hero he's a criminal and hopefully all of his crimes in several different states and in the Bahamas will be strung out consecutively so he never sees the light of day.

KD in CA Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sorry I don't fit the stereotype you'd like to believe. Says the liberal who can't connect the dots between bleeding heart politicans who appoint judges and violent criminals ending up back on the street. As for this kid, 5 years is plenty. Unless I missed something, his were only property crimes. Save the cell for violent offenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The first time I heard about this kid, he crashed a plane. And here he is doing it again. Is he ejecting before the crash? Crashing and getting lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society needs people like this stealing planes and boats to"shake the tree?" I guess if you found your wreaked $200,000 plane in a tree top you'd be just happy it's not going to be a "boring" day.

As for this kid, 5 years is plenty. Unless I missed something, his were only property crimes. Save the cell for violent offenders. But this guy deserves only five years. Who's the bleeding heart here. He, claimed to have a gun with one victim and had a laser site pointed at their head threatening to shoot them. Bucky Philips was only doing small crimes before he started killing cops. Were you one of the "Run Bucky Run" crowd? This kid was escalating his crimes. If he would be set free in a few years he'd go right back to doing what he's doing and I believe it would eventually get violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO No, Of course... Even If I was one of them... Life in prison? Anyway... Isn't it our American birthright to rebel against authority... Even if my home was robbed, who cares... I got insurance... But life in jail? Everybody has their version of civil disobiedence, this guy's of course is a little over the top... He of course is no hero. He of course never used violent means and never hurt anyone physically... In fact, he threw his gun in the water, they shot at him. Again... I am not sticking up for his actions... He did harm people's property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't mean I have little, I have it and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
