Me, too. He should have been hung by his 'nads.

I don't think even Riley has that authority...;-(

One interesting thing about that case is what we don't know. For example, we
don't know hold old Swift is, or whether the rescue agencies were fooled or
not, whether he suffers from some sort of problem besides ignorance of the
rules, lack of common sense and extreme stupidity.

Would be good to know the whole story. Usually there's more to these things
than is apparent at first. Take the case of the ham who called for help on a
police freq with his modded HT and wound up surrendering the thing. It was
demonstrated that he could have hit at least two repeaters and dialed 911 via
autopatch from the site where he called the police on *their* frequency.
