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.

“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..”

Exactly. I must have seen the same movies! I also know that I can pretty easily get away from people who are shooting at me with fully automatic weapons - just by running fast..

Good one. Let’s hope the jail isn’t too close to an airport.

His bond was set at $25,000.

I thought it would have been higher considering he’s a huge flight risk.

LOL — Definitely a flight risk.

Bad starter culture, inbreeding, and substance abuse has finally perfected the human turnip.

“But Officer, I thought it was just like driving a car!”

That’s an additional scary part. Think about all the people who drive on the roads with you..

Don’t forget that all computers have 1980’s-vintage GUI’s, and have slow-moving progress bars when copying or deleting files.

Just an aspiring rap singer fan. How else was he expected to get to the concert - on a Greyhound bus?

He is a good boy - wants to study Aeronautical Engineering when he graduates from Middle School.

“...hijacking a Greyhound...”

He’d never get the saddle on.

Teen who doesn't know how to fly ...

From this stunt, I doubt that. This "teen" was most assuredly flying.

Thought he could use an instant phone app to fly a passenger jet? (AKA The Matrix) Not yet you can’t. Ha.

And if a car sideswipes a parked vehicle, it will launch 10 feet in the air, flip over, and explode into flames before hitting the ground. I know this is true because I’ve seen a few episodes of “The A-Team.”

Well, at least Zemarcuis has demonstrated he has the credentials to be a Demonicrat candidate for some major political office.

Nah, if he was a real flight risk he would have been able to start the stupid aircraft.

And if you shoot a cowboy or an Indian riding a horse, the horse falls down.

He might have had more success just hijacking a Greyhound...


Many years ago, I taught at “youth center” (prison for juvenile delinquents). We had a kid whose only crimes were hijacking Greyhound buses (He wouldn’t look twice at a Trailways). He was quite good at it, would drive them until they ran out of fuel, often picking up passengers as we went along. One time he was stopped by a cop and talked his way out of the ticket.
