I dunno, maybe because he stole a plane, wouldn’t respond, ran off from authorities once he landed?
Who are we to judge? We don't really know yet how victimized he was by the "evil system" that's always keeping the little guy down and keeping him from owning his own Cessna.
And what's with the silliness of arbitrary borders to citizens of the world only looking for a better life beyond their own borders?
Who knows what draws a man to risk all to go to beautiful Missouri, the true promised land, in a stolen airplane?
Wait until we find out how the evil exploiters raised the price of flying lessons to a point anybody would snap under the same circumstances.
