Prosecutors say an Arkansas teenager who's not a pilot has been charged with trying to steal an American Eagle passenger jet from Texarkana Regional Airport to fly to an out-of-state rap concert.
Miller County jail records show Zemarcuis Devon Scott, 18, of Texarkana was held Wednesday on commercial burglary and attempted theft of property charges.

Darwin award contestant?
“”””””””””An affidavit says Scott told Texarkana police, who responded to reports of a man seen jumping an airport fence, that he didn’t think there was much more to flying than pushing buttons and pulling levers.”””””””””””””
He should be charged with felonious dumbass. And then he should be neutered so the stupid doesn’t spread.
I’ve seen lots of movies. Anyone can fly a plane. You hop in and you go. Also, you can hack into any computer in under 5 minutes just by typing some stuff. Likewise, jumping 20 to 30 feet from one building to another is actually very easy, if you are being pursued by bad guys.
Zemarcuis? Now there’s a new one....
He might have had more success just hijacking a Greyhound.....
He is probably smarter than most other leftards
Millennial, am I right?
If you shoot a car?
It blows up.
Cars that crash always blow up.
Everyone knows this.
“Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Scott.”...…..
Even attorneys, well at least some, know you can’t defend stupid!
He is of course, correct.
However, knowing the sequence for pushing and pulling is mandatory
>>that he didn’t think there was much more to flying than pushing buttons and pulling levers.
This is the Millennial view of just about anything. Airplanes, economies, relationships, work skills, etc. Pushing buttons and pulling (virtual) levers on a phone makes everything work, so why not in the Real World as well.
Dunning-Kruger effect
“Millennial, am I right?”
Yes, but to be that stupid, you also have to be a Holder’s Person, and he is. Also why there’s no pic in the article, but there is elsewhere.
Most kids could care less about aviation (it is really sad). Do a psych eval on him, if he is ok and doesn’t have a record, get him some training, aviation is short A & P’s, AI’s, Pilots, and every logistic and support role you can think of....

Idiocracy,
Now with More Molecules!
I thought it would have been higher considering he's a huge flight risk.
