Not that amazing really. Most students learning to fly light aircraft are allowed to do their first solo flight after only 5-10 hours of experience. Given that he had done a lot of flight sim he had a pretty good idea of what he needed to do even if he hadn't actually done it before. His crashes were more bad landings than crashes which is about what I would have expected.

Incredibly sad. One of my friends from high school had a mom & living situation like this. She OD’d and died in front of him before we graduated, CPS had never intervened in any way & didn’t then because he was recently 18. With a rental trailer-home and no way to pay for it, he was instantly homeless. We all tried as best we could (for 18-20 year olds) to help him out financially & socially, and he actually did surprisingly well for a bit almost saving up to afford his apartment... but then his mom’s genes kicked in. 10 years later, he has full blown schizophrenia, is still homeless, dangerously suspicious of doctors & _anybody_ who tries to help, and is constantly self-medicating with alcohol and other shit. The mental illness would’ve set in eventually, but I can’t help but believe it was only made quicker by the circumstances & I think a lot about how things could’ve been so different if he truly got the help he needed as a child.

[@FunNHonesty]

[@sheikchilli8670]

if it's in someone's blood to outsmart everyone and never surrender it would probably not be a good idea for an intelligence or law enforcement agency to employ him. sure, he might be experienced and smart and do the job asked of him perfectly, but such agencies rely on a hierarchy to keep their employees in line, and he would certainly not bend to their will. The boundary between someone overstepping their boundaries slightly using creative techniques and someone going rogue at such an agency is up to interpretation. intelligence and security agencies are massive and complex beasts, and i guess they're full of inefficiencies and dodgy projects some people might find unethical. as someone gains experience they might become disillusioned.

With an absent father and alchoholic mother Colton could have gone down a way worse path, but I respect how he basically acted out of necessity in a careful way to avoid harming others. Targetting vacation homes and fancy private cars/boats/planes that would be owned by people who are well off and that likely wouldn't be there for a confrontation, not hurting or killing anyone, just taking things he needed like food, appliances and money... Giving to help animals and being polite when speaking to others. I'm glad the courts were consistenly lenient on him, because as many crimes as he had commited, people do far worse and hurt more people and get less than what he served. His time in prison is less of a punishment and more time to reflect to get out and change his life, a second chance, somethign that is rarely the goal with jails.

none of this was out of necessity... he should have gotten alot more time than he did. 6 years for 67 felonies in 3 countries is ridiculous and inexcusable. people do far less and get much more time than him

We live in a hypocritical society. We're heading towards two classes: rich and poor.

So you do condone crime. I'm a criminal. Lifelong. Can't stand liars like you. Gotta have a code. You can't even make yr mind up lol

@Paul Bunyan we've never in the history of humanity had such a low death count. You live in one of the most prosperous countries. Talk about privileged.

Dude is a folk hero. I remember following this story years ago when it was happening. He stole yachts and private planes. Broke into mansions and grocery stores. In a corrupted world, he was the hero.

[@oldbatwit5102]

I prefer heroes that do good, worthy, selfless deeds. If you honestly feel that you are living in a 'corrupted world' then you have my sympathy.

his entire list of crimes is quite literally iconic. he stole planes, boats, cars, illegally crossed the border, donated money to an animal shelter? 😭😭😭

I've got respect for the kid......he chose not to let life kick him and keep him down, the kid took charge of his own life, massive respect !

[@glenturney4750]

Is that why he's locked up for it? Perhaps Bubba has a new girlfriend, named Colton? 😁

[@binaryego4621]

@@dillonbledsoe7680 Ok I dont condone going around and breaking into house and the likes but the kid could have done a lot worse too, he was trying to survive at first and found a talent to keep him alive. He was certainly a clever kid...was just unfortunate like many people in this world he didnt have the strong family life, was left to fend for himself...people in them shoes do a whole lot worse and can cause way more harm.

this is exactly what i needed to see today, always excited for these uploads! what an insane story. im kind of glad the punishment was 'you cant make money off of this' instead of spending the rest of his life in prison. he was talented and smart, he really did deserve a second chance at life, especially considering NOBODY was killed during his entire crime spree.

[@CrasherX2000]

That’s what I’m most surprised about Despite being armed, nobody was killed during his chase

[@craigime]

so he had to kill someone to get a serious sentence?
