Officers spoke with a neighbor who said that Hickman wanted to kayak to the Philippines where his wife was and planned to travel to Alaska, and through the Bering Sea.
The neighbor told BVPD that the pipe bombs were for sharks and pirates and he had liquor for the Russians, according to the affidavit.
they should have just let him go. it was going to work itself out.
Dude's a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
He wasn't accused of being the brightest bulb.
and he had liquor for the Russians, according to the affidavit
These americans dangerously underestimating us once again. We can lack many things, crucial ones, but cheep booze? Never, never!
Did you recover your vodka reserves after Boris Yeltsin drank all the vodka lakes?
We secretly dug some just for him so he didn't know he didn't.
Please give him his pipe bombs back and let him go those sharks and pirates are no joke
This guy sounds fun.
I am so ashamed of myself. As an Asian, I always assumed Arkansas to be in North America.
"Officers spoke with a neighbor who said that Hickman wanted to kayak to the Philippines where his wife was and planned to travel to Alaska, and through the Bering Sea."
From Arkansas? 🤔
I mean, I guess he could take the Mississippi down through Mississippi and Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico, down to the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean, up the coast to Alaska and across that way...
TECHNICALLY possible.
Doubt he'd be able to get through the canal on a kayak, no?
Probably easier than going around the horn, I dunno.
Holy cow, it sounds like someone told him to look on kayak.com and he got confused 🤔
Sounds more like a Florida Man news story.
Plot twist: Arkansas Traveller turns out to be someone who got to Arkansas from Florida.
By kayak
I feel better about my neighbors after reading that. How long do you think the neighbor was listening to this guy before realizing he was serious?
Found the script for the next John Wick movie.
Guy’s gotta have a hobby!
BTW: he had liquor for the Russians, but what did he have for the Chinese?
BBTW: Sounds like a great funding pitch for a Nat Geo doco. If I was a multi millionaire I’d help him make it a reality. Even if he was just talking shit to avoid jail, I’d work it out with the judge and make him attempt it.
He was planning to give liquor to the Russians so I can only imagine he planned to give the Chinese soy sauce.
As an Arkansas resident, I hate hearing Arkansas on the national stage. It's never good.
Arkansas has great barbecue and a beautiful stony countryside.
There's a lot to love about Arkansas. Unfortunately, 2/3 of the residents are either deplorable or don't mind hatefulness.
Arkansas is the anus of the USA
No, that's Bakersfield, CA
It's ok, a country can have multiple anuses.
I don't know who the hell would downvote this, but they've obviously never been to Bakersfield.
Can you guys sort the spelling out? I was 35 before I realised it's not pronounced ar-can-zas
Fun fact, the it's named after the Kansa tribe (pronounced Cans-Uh). We added "Ar", slightly changed the pronunciation "Can-Saw", and added a silent French "s" that was never intended to be pronounced.
Then those uncultured philistines in Kansas decided to pronounce it and confused everyone.
Is that tribe responsible for the Kansas name too? Very interesting! Thank you!
Hickman….. that says it all.
