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.
