Ok, so he's also a moron. In case anyone was wondering.
So... A guy who hasn't done any work in years, did something kinda cool 20 years ago, loves Alex Jones, and says that the helicopter he uses to assault and endanger the homeless to defend a business while calling himself a hero to the middle class? Fetch me my fancy bib, it's time to eat the rich.
.... don't eat junk food. Compost.
I really hope the FAA pulls his license over this shit. His daddy owns the helicopter so this is just some entitled asshole, who I hope gets to sit in traffic with the rest of us soon.
Nice. The news station KXAN did a story on it about a week ago, and there's video of this guy taking off from the shopping center. What a douche.
His lack of self-awareness is far worse than Austin traffic.
"I dump my car's used oil in the local creek, so there are less people at Jiffy Lube idling their cars #ecowarrior"
I think he’s trying to be funny
Wasn't wondering 😂
Nah the title cleared that up, but it's good to get confirmation.
I guess you can count the non-moronic country singers on one hand, after a bad accident with a saw.
Let's do this.
• Dolly Parton
I think I nailed it. Any others?
Johnny Cash? Willie Nelson, when he is not not buzzed, umm some guy who was very influential and died 60 years ago.
Charlie Pride?
Juice Newton?
I mean, you only need a stub to count to one.
Technically he's right, since traffic is caused by cars. (the snowflake doesn't blame itself for the avalanche)
But he's still a fucking idiot.
I think they're referring to the #ecowarrior hashtag. I'm sure the original was supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig at the #fuckcars crowd but it's definitely wrong that a local helicopter ride is better for greenhouse gas emissions than one car in normal traffic
Oh, totally.
I'm only commenting on the "relieving traffic" part of his stupidity.
Yes we were aware, but it’s still “that’s the joke”, my man
I was referring more to the ecowarrior hashtag.
A helicopter will almost never be the environmentally friendly choice for commuting.
He's fighting in the eco wars alright. Just on the other side.
Pretty sure personal helicopters are not eco friendly though.
Wasn't commenting on that part, JUST the bit about traffic.
