    When Coast Guard officers told Baluchi they were cutting short his “manifestly unsafe” voyage, Baluchi threatened to kill himself with a 12-inch knife if anyone tried to apprehend him, and claimed to have a bomb aboard, which turned out to be fake, according to the complaint.

    that is a special kind of stupid.

    they should have had him sign a waiver saying the coast guard didn’t need to watch out for him, and then send him on his way, godspeed.

    trust me, the human gene pool could desperately use it.
