High speed boat chase?

Cant wait to see this in theaters in a few years.

I was actually gonna say that. It is so obvious that this will get turn into a movie.

 

[ZZMitch]

How could he fail to ditch a gun in the ocean while on a speedboat?

He took the gun with him after he got off the first boat he stole, and brought it with him to the second boat he stole.

And that one got its engines shot out so he used it to feign a suicide attempt, but the police talked him out of it.

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

A real mastermind would have faked his own death; what are these children learning these days.

 

[Deku]

learning from GTA. lose some cash, but everything is fine. will respawn.

 

[akachan ningen]

He's having some great adventures but when he gets caught it won't be so romantic.

 

[Lebron]

He won't be able to escape the booty seeking squad once they send his ass to prison.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

he'd be a lot cooler if he could actually land the planes he takes.

Also, you can tell by his picture that he's a little shit with impulse control issues and while he's embarrassing cops now, he's going to do more and more ridiculous shit until he gets hurt, kills someone or takes a large heavy penalty in jail.

Once this reaches its logical conclusion, it won't be an awesome story anymore.

He's been living the last 2 years like I play Just Cause 2. Good for him. I'm sure he'll make a good amount of money on book and movie deals.

If the judge is smart he'll forbid the guy (and his mum) to sell the story to the media/receive royalties, just like the family of the weather balloon kid. Would serve him and his mum right

 

[DominoKid]

man this kid's such a boss

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Artemis Fowl?

 

[quickwhips]

To the people who think he is cool. I hope he steals your shit that you worked hard to get. The plane shit is scary. He will probably end up killing someone or someone killing him sooner or later. They will hopefully make an example out of him.

 

[Apoc29]

He's 6' 5", he'll be the one owning bitches in prison. That is if he doesn't fly a plane out of it first.

 

[Bisnic]

60,000 Facebook fans? Fans of a fucking thief?

Faith in humanity going lower everyday.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

He should've used the Patronum Charm.

 

[PantherLotus]

You know it's possible to think this is a cool story while not actually idolizing him, right?

Petty thieves, burglars, bank robbers, and outlaws have always represented something special to the underclass; they do what we all wish we could experience for even just a moment. Whether Spartacus or Robin Hood, Jesse James or Al Capone, Bonnie & Clyde or CatchMeIfYouCan guy, or even something as innoccuous as Johnny Cash or Snoop Dogg--all have been celebrated for being outlaws not for what they did (breaking the law), but for what they represented. It's the idea of fuckin' the MAN. Gettin' back at the SYSTEM.

That's why games like GTA, movies like Ocean's 11, and music like gangsta rap became so successful. Just because it sounds like fun doesn't mean you're advocating crime or shooting at cops, much less getting raped in a caribbean prison.

There's little reality in those celebrations of outlaws, but I'm not sure reality is needed. It's a cool story not because we know how dire and unlikely the outcomes usually are, but how exhiliarating those few moments of "I escaped!" must've been.

 

[Dyno]

You can abhor his criminality all the while marvelling at his balls of steel.

 

[Stinkles]

Yes, a rail-thin, willowy 6'5" white kid is definitely going to be an accomplished rapist in the Bahamian prison system. No doubt they will elect him King within the week.

 

[Vilix]

he'd be a lot cooler if he could actually land the planes he takes.

Final Score: B
Take off: A
Flight Control: A
Landing: D

The problem is he wasn't "fuckin' the MAN" though. He was screwing over everyday people.

 

[Crazyorloco]

I admire his balls.

 

[Stinkles]

I admire his balls.

They will be admired by many prison inmates too.

 

[Slayer-33]

I love how people (media) give so much credit to someone that could fly a plane. :lol It's common sense, rev up the engine and don't pull up at a moronic steep angle so that you don't stall the damn thing, it's not rocket science. After the take off it's a free ride minus the landing which can be a lot more difficult than anything else.

I think it is rocket science, actually.
