Soup Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/colton-harris-moore-barefoot-burglar-10222379 Not too long ago, Colton Harris-Moore hopped islands on twin prop airplanes, leaving boxes from stolen pizzas and thoughtful donations to veterinary hospitals in his wake. Then some jerks snitched on Harris-Moore and police finally caught him in the Bahamas. Now, Colton is a real-live American legend. Like Jesse James before him, Colton joins the lineage of compassionate outlaws who break stupid rules on principle. As the Times put it, “Mr. Harris-Moore seemed untraceable and unknowable, part high-tech Huck Finn, part cunning criminal.” Sure, he stole some food and ruined a few planes along the way, but it’s clear Colton meant no harm to anybody: When the police finally cornered him at the end of a speedboat race through the Bahamas, the cops shot at Colton, but he never fired back. The details of his escapades paint the portrait of an intelligent kid with a complex personality and a firm, if unconventional moral code. With Colton in custody and his adventure winding down, the media engines are revving up to dismantle and examine every angle on this 19 year-olds life. Interviews with his mom show that she may be a negligent boozer who drove her son away, inspiring in him fantasies of adventure and escape. Does it really matter, though? A person’s character amount from more than just their upbringing, however rotten. Please ignore whatever the armchair Freuds concoct to explain away his inspired, imaginative outlawry. Again, from NYT: ““He wasn’t really trying to get away,” said Kyle Ater, who found bare footprints drawn in chalk on the floor of his natural food store on nearby Orcas Island on the morning after the police say Mr. Harris-Moore burglarized it, destroyed the alarm system, and ate an entire blueberry cheesecake from the cooler.” Read the Times article.

abcs Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 they really need to just let that big little white nigga live. Problem he has is he made too many police look stupid and if theres anything the police hate more than anything its when they are made to look as stupid as they actually are. Fact that people are intimidated by their authority allows them to be idiots with a cloak of anonymity. Nobody who knows any better pays them any attention so they are free to just be fools. This Colton Harris kid came along and all the sudden he was making the police look bad. The fact that someone was doing it publicly made it all the better. I mean... Its a bad idea to make the police look bad because they can and will make your life miserable... then this kid came along. If i was rich i would contribute to his defense fund. I hate the police and i love when someone makes them look bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyViking Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 nah dude, tours. There were two tour ships cruising along, this kid drove a plane into both of them.. simultaneously. The one ship's passengers and crew died instantly. The others became stranded on Gilligan's island. Those aren't re-runs on T.V. - that's live footage.
