MyspaceA 21-year-old Santa Maria resident who said he was acting under the orders of Fidel Castro tried to hijack a helicopter at the Yuba County Airport last Thursday.
Yuba County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Lt. Damon Gil said Zachary Hinders sprinted toward the commercial chopper and jumped in the back seat at around 4:30 p.m. shortly after it landed. Once inside, Hinders started shouting and gesticulating wildly, demanding the pilot take off. He was not carrying a weapon, said Gil.

The pilot responded by getting out of his seat, walking around to Hinders, and telling him to get out, said Gil. Hinders refused at first but eventually exited the helicopter and ran away. Deputies arrested him shortly thereafter and charged him with burglary. He’s being held in the Yuba County Jail.
Gil said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident, and he said Hinders’s motive is unknown. He explained, though, that deputies had made contact with Hinders earlier in the day when they received calls he was “acting strangely” in the front yard of a nearby home. Unable to charge him with any crime, deputies transported him to the house where he was staying.

Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
assail him, impale him, with monster truck force.
In his mind he's still driving, making the grade.
She's hoping, in time, her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course.
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
the sun has gone down and the moon has come up
and long ago somebody left with the Cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
and thinking of someone for whom he still yearns...
He's going the distance
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, in her time of need...

If it was his pancreas that was acting strangely, he wouldn't be in the news. But that most delicate organ, his brain? TS, Elliott. The sleep of reason produces monsters, including the paranoid himself. He's burdened with delusions that are personal, not socially institutional. Now THERE's a monster. He'll have to be institutionalized to straighten him out. Poor li'l fella!

The truth is it was "hank"--that's right--"hank" AKA "Henry" or "Enrique" Sarria, the blogger who put him up to it in an attempt to make Castro look bad.
Hank turned into AZ2SB's pancreas, invaded Adonis_Tate, and sent the signals to Hinders, and resulted in many of us making goofy comments.

Fidel Castro was against giving this guy a gun until he can grow his Beard a little longer.
