Did the Obamas forget to tell the SS that they were expecting a package from Amazon?
 
Pronounced "heero-copter"
 
Geez, they're making those Air Hogs bigger and bigger all the time.
 
Why didn't your cops just shoot him ? They seem to want to shoot just about everybody else ! :lol:

Mostly because he was a lefty. - The man who planned to fly a gyrocopter to the Capitol has a Web site. Here’s what it says. - The Washington Post

This also happened in front of the capitol, not the White House. While not a huge difference it is a less controlled area.

Why take the chance and just shoot him anyway. Many have been shot dead for a darned sight less these days I mean what if he had been a black shoplifter or had failed to keep up his child maintenance payments for example :cool:

Sometimes we run them over with our patrol cars.

I used to think their guns should be taken away and that would end the mindless overviolence, but I see they have cars, so what's the point :shock:

My bet is you also think that in 2001 cell phones worked in airplanes at altitude. I hope I'm wrong.

Gotta laugh about the mailman delivering the mail by gyrocopter. :lamo

Like you never make a mistake...you know that confused thing in your avatar is sitting on its ass? Does it think it's a big chopper or what?

On this gyrocopter mailman thing, Amazon are trying to deploy drones for deliveries. I am hoping at some point they will instead deploy cheap human lifting drones, to airlift me to work. If they can deliver a package, why not me? Well they're so backward...and I am so cheap...

No, I'm only human and make mistakes all the time.

Believing in falsehoods is not really a mistake, just a case of being gullible somehow, or simply unaware of certain facts.

I ride a motorcycle, but I would not want to ride a remotely controlled human lifting drones, especially if there were many of them buzzing 'round here and there. :)

I never thought about it since I rarely travel by plane. Thanks for your concern though.
 
Good for this guy using civil disobedience to oppose the govt. I dont agree with this ideas, but I respect his method. We need more of this.
 
Mr. Hughes did this as an act of civil disobedience. He notified the authorities in advance of who he is and what he was going to do. He risked his life to draw attention to the problems we have with money in politics. Here is what he had to say about his plans.



I am a big proponent of non-violent civil disobedience so I applaud his resolve.

And of course the media the most important thing is how he pulled it off, not WHY.
