So this kid's pretty good. . .

Discuss.
I'd give the kid a hand up...... and then slap the shit out of his fans with the other hand.
i am laughing at the fact that he stole 3 airplanes, that's a big ticket item that people probably don't even think of as being a target for theft.
however, the people that are cheering him on should have him break inot their house and have their stuff stolen. then let's see how they feel.
I'm not condoning this kid's activities, but it's hard to feel sorry for his 'victims' who may be temporarily inconvenienced by their downed private airplanes.
Taking an assault rifle from a deputy's car? That's a big problem. Now he's going to be considered armed + dangerous, and that's not good. :-\
Interesting story, nonetheless

What does their success have to do with it? Who cares what was stolen from who? It was stolen nonetheless. Some people consider a Ducati a luxury item, does that mean that it's no big deal to the person it gets stolen from?

In tough times, there always seems to be an outlaw that catches the imagination of the disenfranchised.
Unfortunately(from his POV), law enforcement has gotten much better, and the infrastructure has grown massively since the early twentieth century. He'll be caught, prosecuted, and jailed, or shot while fleeing custody, and that'll be the end of it.

Easy there, chief.
Just sayin' that's why he's being celebrated. I'm not condoning his actions.
He's a douche.
Apparently his home life was fairly screwed up...shocker! :-\
I see a movie in the future, another American hero.
Meh. The Whiskey Robber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_Ambrus) was way cooler.
I heard as a kid he knocked over snowmen.

This kids "Accomplishments" are still crimes, and he belongs in jail. I think his mom should be locked up for apparently provoking him to continue. Doesn't that constitute conspircy after the fact?

You guys are like elephants!
And maybe if someone had set the kid straight from the start, he wouldn't be stealing planes.
See, I was performing a future community service...

Could've included any number of celebrated outlaws from any and every country in the world (Guy Fawkes, anyone?) but figured I'd made my point.
