"Despondent Canadian" flies stolen plane to Mo.

And he's getting two years in prison for doing so. You might remember this case from April, when Adam Dylan Leon reportedly stole a Cessna in Ontario and flew across the border, eventually landing near Ellsinore, Mo. The troopers caught him at a local store, trying to buy a drink. Leon, who's suffered from severe depression since his parents died in a car wreck, apparently hoped to die in a plane crash. He's getting a little more time than normal because so many cities had to go on alert.

If the guy really wants to off himself there are so many easier ways. I still think this was a revenge attack for the American-Canadian War.

So a sick guy gets more time because we are paranoid about a Cessna?

Bin Laden in his cave is laughing.

Maybe he was trying to escape from that Canadian health care system & had to do the plane thing to get help in the USA?
