Poor guy got charged too
To be fair, he did keep the coast guard at bay for 3 days because he said he had a bomb.
Oh lol, I didn't read that far into the article.
"no, it's a bong!!"
I don't know that doing bong hits is the best thing to do while trying to cross the ocean in a big hamster wheel, but then anyone who thinks that's a good idea is probably high as fuck, so who knows?
I feel like this activity is still very doable with a nice sativa.
I'm really surprised that the article title didn't start out with Florida Man instead of just Man, considering he's a resident of Florida.
Anyone who stops this guy is my enemy
Just let him do it.
As an American, I can safely say we don't give a two shilling shit about the intrinsic value of human life, unless it's tethered to yacht loads of capital.
If we aren't willing to save our brothers and sisters dying in tent cities for the sin of being subpar capitalism livestock, why do we go out of our way to save adrenaline junkies with death wishes?
You can't let people go out and have fun, that would cause mass chaos.
I'm really intrigued by his hamster contraption
