"Shoot me down!" - Pilot prays to US fighter jets!

As Barack Obama is in Turkey, telling assembled students in Istanbul how forward looking the United States is, a backward looking Canadian gets visions of the Wild West mixed up in some kind of Star Wars movie.

A man stole a plane from an airport in Canada and flew to the United States hoping that US fighter jets would shoot him down. He lacked the courage to commit suicide so had the brainwave that the US authorities would send him to the next world without a single doubt.

I think Mr.Obama should revisit Canada to advise potential suicides that America is not a free clinic for such stuff and is, in fact, very much opposed to allowing Star Wars type endings for people. The very idea is preposterous!
