Just Imagine if the authorities decided to "save " Galileo, Archemedias, or Da Vinci , Tesla or The Wright brothers from themselves ?

 

[braindead]

At some point we just need to let stupid people FAFO!

This was like his 5th attempt. He’s not done. Like braindead said, they’ll just need to let him go.

Is it getting so bad here, Iranian refugees are getting all "Cuban" and trying to make it to England?!

I admire his drive and persistance to prove out his theory on his own merits.
If he wants to die trying is that not his choice/right/freedom?
What.....you can only die at sea if your on an approved vessel? Paddelboard, canoe, dingy, boat etc.?

I agree who are they to say you can’t go for it?

Im confused at the guys talent and ability to construct the wheel in contrast to his absolute ignorance in thinking he could be successful.

No one ever tried to stop Braaksma or Eddy Hill

This is one of the dumbest things I've heard of in a long time. Simple solution.... Video record him refusing help and advise him that no attempts to rescue him from this point forward would occur unless he called for help, at that point he would be financially on the hook for all costs. Second, We granted this guy asylum from Iran, and his reaction is to brandish knives and threaten to hurt himself... Sometime Darwin just needs to win.

Mad Mike interview just before the crash.

 

[azsunfun]

It's obvious he has no watercraft registration. Then he might try again. If he had a Ukraine flag he would have made it.

Didn't his cousin build a submarine recently

How come we don’t arrest all those 300 refugee’s on one small life raft in the middle of the ocean , we celebrate that .

What is up is down
What is right is wrong
What is man is women
What is women is man

What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
It's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the Spinning Wheel spin

What a fantastic use of our tax payer money and the Coast Guards valuable time.

Should have let the former rag head terrorist just keep going and let the Coast Guard to more important things.

The Coast Guard could have deployed a Yellow Boat to Judy Chop him!

This exactly. Just saw this. The inmates are slipping. Let the hamster crew do what the hamster crew do!

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Dude ran across America twice. If he wants to run across the ocean I say let him go for it. If he has no passengers and isn't carrying anything illegal there shouldn't be a crime here

I'm just sad nobody got the pissing contest joke either.

This place is going in the toilet.



















See what I did there??

Lame.
