Worcester-Humbolt Alex Jones Fan Stops Plane

alex-jones-info-wars.jpgThe Globe reports that Jason Robo, a Humboldt State student from Worcester, slapped a "911 was an inside job" sticker on an airline restroom, then fled, leaving another Alex Jones' Prison Planet sticker on his seat and causing a 3-hour delay for Salt Lake City passengers. The flyers who didn't flee were taken from the plane and made to wait while it was searched thoroughly by bomb-sniffing dogs. The flight eventually left three hours behind schedule.

For those not in the know, Alex Jones is a prolific documentarian, radio host, and conspiracy theorist convinced the government's New World Order is taking over our lives. He's for guns and freedom, and against government control. While he goes a little (lot) too far some (most) of the time, we have to admit that we think of him when taking off our shoes at the airport. For the love of Alex, please let us retain our flip flop freedoms, TSA! At least they have the freedom to grow weed in Humboldt, if not bring it on planes.

And Worcester... well, what can we say about Worcester?

Robo will be arraigned in East Boston Municipal Court today. He's charged with disorderly conduct, interfering with a flight crew, and disturbing travelers on public conveyance.

Why link to yahoo page bashing Worcester? Its not our fault that kid decided to do something stupid. Have you been to Worcester recently? The canal area has great bars, clubs, and some fantastic restaurants. Not to mention, great Universities and Colleges.

You just lost an avid reader for posting that link.

 

Did you read the Yahoo page? There are at least as many people there defending Worcester as bashing it. Why not add your perspective to the debate?

It makes sense to poke fun at Worcester in light of one of its natives doing something crazy. It doesn't make sense to give up on an entire website because you're overly defensive about your city. If you'd like to write up a little something about Worcester's great bars, clubs, and restaurants, we'd be more than happy to post it.

 

I can not believe that the comments are talking about Worcester.

Ahhh I do no think that was the important part of the story.

How about discussing the important fact that a person risked jail time to put information out where others could see it?

i do not agree with his tactics but dont you consider over 3,000 dead American people more important than the fact that they mentioned Worcester in this article?

I lived in worcester WOOHO. yeah me.

how about having some deceny and giving respect to the families of 9/11 that still do not have answers and their families are buried in a dump under concrete called freshkills landfill.

The families of 9/11 started the 9/11 truth movement. You should at least be talking about the 3,000 americans that died in the towers and the 4,000 amercians that have died in Iraq as well as the over 100,000 innocent civivilans that are dying in Iraq.

THERE WERE NO IRAQIS ON THOSE PLANES Y R WE IN IRAQ KILLING INNOCENT BABIES AND CHILDREN?

no worcester is more important.sigh

if your family member died or you could feel anything you could never be so callous.

your corporate media is not telling you the whole story.

How would u get the truth message out if everyone ignores it and laughs?

movies on youtube to watch and learn the truth
truth rising
zeitgeist the federal reserve
press for truth
loose change
who killed john oneil
Introduction to the constitution
terrorstorm
Endgame

Learn the truth, do some reading and then I bet you wont be laughing.

 

dude, you may not be aware of this, but Worcester is the Paris of the 80s. so, yeah, it's about Worcester.
