Barefoot Bandit Caught!

People romanticize pirates. Look up the real pirates of the Caribbean on Google and see how horrible those people were. So are the Disney movies unethical and the people who like them idiots?

When people romanticize criminals, they are not edifying evil acts. They are reveling in fun, adventure and escape of the mundane. It's not hard to understand.

From the movie Point Break, Body, one of a quartet of bank robbers:

"C'mon, it was never about money for us. It's about us against the system - that system that kills the Human Spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeway in their metal coffins, we show them that the Human Spirit is still alive."
 
Yup. Maybe everyone that had something stolen or destroyed by this loser should track down all his "fans" on facebook and start smashing up their stuff. See how they like it then.
I wonder how big his pathetic "following" would be if the guy was a toothless, 55 years old, bald guy? (Same crimes but a different guy.) I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest... not so much :p

Yeah, but now imagine the following if he was a hot chick. :cool:
The barefoot contessa? :wtf:
 
I know if I did something like that, the media and the public would have me down as the most hated/dispised person in the world!!!!!! The old man that owned the plane said, he's not mad at the boy for stealing and crashing his $400,000 plane.
