  I was staying at the Bowline.  Holy cow did those coasties haul ass. A motor boat from Tongue Point. You could hear it hauling ass. And I think 2 helicopters moving with purpose, buzzed the city twice to get over water ASAP.
context: Wow, that video was all over the place yesterday. Not only did he steal the yacht, he endangered the lives of the rescue team. I’m amazed no one was killed. >
  
  Coast Guard gets a bad wrap as a military branch but damn do they really pull some hard work, they are out there saving lives every single day. Recommend the smarter every day youtube series about what they do, it's pretty wild. Feel like a lot of what they do is just Florida man, and Florida man doing dumb shit and nearly dying lol >
  
  Coast guard never gets a bad rap. What are you talking about. They are like a national rescue service. >
  
  Not a bad rap amongst civillians.
  If you had 1 coast guard in a room full of marines, army dudes...etc, he would be the butt of the joke.
  Thats all. >
  
  You're confusing talking shit in good fun with an actual opinion. The  Air Force is the branch that actually doesn't get respect from some people. This was my experience when enlisted, at least. >
  
  You mean the Chair Force? >
  
  This guy derides. >
  
  Hey! Sometimes the internet gets a little spotty at the Marriott over the weekend conference! Get someone over to fix that STAT or my guys are never staying here again! This is the Air Force Goddammit! How are these guys going to decompress from 3 days of PowerPoint without high speed wifi for WoW and PRon?? /s >
  
  Now that's a headline >
  
  My favorite one is still "German man moons Hell's Angels, throws puppy at them, escapes on stolen bulldozer". >
  
  What kind of monster throws a puppy at people? 
  I don't normally wish harm on anybody but those that hurt puppies get a special exception from that rule for me! >
  
  Real life Mad Lib headlines are the best. >
  
  The dead fish is never explained. >
  
  I read the article specifically to get the dirt on the fish incident. No such luck. >
  
  It was a red herring. >

  The dead fish thing is likely the least of his problems. He stole a yacht. 
  
  Astoria police said Labonte was wanted on allegations of theft, endangering another person, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and criminal mischief. Astoria Police Chief Stacy Kelly said some of the allegations were from preexisting cases in British Columbia, according to the Associated Press. >
  
  I have many questions >
  
  So much going on haha. Congrats to the Branch on his graduation and badass rescue, his career is going to be legendary. Those guys have balls of steel.
  How did they release him from the hospital without anyone identifying him? They released him and had to chase him down and found him at a warming center some miles away. >
  
  He could just say he was homeless, and make up a name. I mean, that happens all day every day in Oregon. Homeless people don't have to pay to go to the ER- they have nothing to give. Hospitals are not allowed to deny emergency care. Also, he probably is homeless anyway. I doubt he'll spend more than a few days in jail for stealing and wrecking the yacht. >
  
  Did you read the article? 
  He had a litany of charges, not just for the yacht and no thats not a couple days in jail. The coast guard didnt try and identify him or check the boats registration?
  It took people calling in after seeing news articles that he looked familiar for them to realize he is wanted. It has nothing to do with just saying your homeless, they dont have identities? Also I didnt say the hospital should deny care. Hospitals also shouldnt run everyone's name through a police database either.
  I'm just curious how a high profile rescue was performed and he wasnt identified as being wanted and released until viewers of news media called in. The coast guard retrieved the boat, you'd think they'd follow up or have notified police and maybe went to question the guy while you know where he is. >
  
  I had to double check what sub this is. Thought it was r/BrandNewSentence . I'm not even joking. >
  
  When I see headlines like this… I think the world has gone mad. >
  
  Welcome to Reality, we're so glad to meet you. Have some tea? The sugar is over by the Dormouse. >
  
  The video of that is wild, I know they call that area a graveyard for boats, and now I truly understand why. Did it run out of fuel? I know he stole it, and while most thieves don’t seem to understand a manual trans on a vehicle, but can still read a fuel gauge. Also, as a boat owner with insurance, solid chance the owner is thrilled. >
  
  Florida, come get your boy. >
  
  Quite the interesting name
