        To be fair, he did keep the coast guard at bay for 3 days because he said he had a bomb.

            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’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.

    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?
