Home Tallahassee Florida Manatee County man faces felony charges after pointing laser at two aircraft
35yr old dude hanging out at a high school. 🤔
First off take the idiots laser and hold it eight inches in front of their face eyes open.
Second trigger laser for ten seconds into each eye.
Third proceed with court case.
Unbelievably ignorant reporting. Anyone who knows anything about lasers kows the further the distance the wider the beam, and the wider the beam the less intensity. Thus shining a hand held laser at something for any significant distance is harmless. Oh yes pilots like to whine and cry about being blinded, but its bs. Ask a scientist.
Should be the same charge as if you pointed a gun at someone!!!
Give him 20 years and watch the magic happen. His motivation was purely for shits and giggles.
He was putting up his idiot beacon. Works like a charm too.
Should go to jail.Thete was an incident in Hernando/Springhill the guy a manager at Vitamin Shoppe in Springhill pointed a laser at a Police Helicopter,and under the influence.Slap on the wrist.If you blind that Pilot,he crashes,then too late,then murder.Hes a moron anyway.
Can be dangerous????
It is danger!!!!
We learned at 10 years old not to do that. That's just not funny. Idiots is a good word for them.
Build more prisons.
I hope the felony charges include "attempted murder". What a jerk!!
Wow. What an idiot. Throw the book at him.
The more politicians allow lawlessness to go unpunished the more creative the criminals get. This adult has a license and probably a job to be able to fuel that suv. That means there is a company somewhere in FL with standards so low they will employ someone like this. Hope its not a defense job or a place that requires background checks because they will need to update their policies. Maybe add an IQ test to the application process.
Jail you going 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get him
Unbelievably ignorant. Unless you live under a rock, the word about not pointing lasers at aircraft has been extensively pushed out by the media. I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law. And impound his car too.
What a moron. He has nothing better to do with his time?
Lock them up
Keep him for a good long time
Yes some people are still idiots. Like my mother always said there's an idiot born every day.
Texas National Guard did it to a Reporter on Mexico side. Was in his truck and Aim Green Lazar through his window🤬🤬
What do you mean they don't know what cost him to do it? Just look at it It's obvious 1:41 >. He appears to have chromosomal damage with limited faculties
🪄👁️ 🤡
Good! He needs to be arrested and put in jail!
Maybe box planes shouldn't fly over peoples home all day every day while they are outside working and being spied on from up above. Just the same plane all day every day circling like Vultures above distracting people while they try to get their work done!!!
total dope
You do realize this is Florida right? Not the smartest state in the country, shiny things and such are real entertainment for some.
He did it with the cops behind him? What an idiot
Thank you for the photo of suspect. Meth & inbreeding.
Pilots Are Pussies. "Oh no, my eyes! My eyes are getting blinded by a laser pointer!". Grow up. Get a pair.
MAGA.
Real stupid people in this world
We have a lot of idiots out there!!!!!!!
