The legal saga of Steven Slater-the Jet Blue flight attendant who briefly raised the spirits of a weary nation when he departed his airplane via emergency slide-has come to an end, with Slater pleading to "a felony count of attempted criminal mischief and a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief." There will be no jail time. It is hard to believe that this only happened two months ago, and yet, in another way, it seems like it happened forever ago, because holy hell has the world gone crazy lately.







He was a hero for small people?
The term 'criminal mischief' allows no other mental image than Steven Slater standing in open court dressed as the Hamburglar.
He should pay the fine in frequent flyer miles.
"It is hard to believe that this only happened two months ago, and yet, in another way, it seems like it happened forever ago"
This phrasing is making my head hurt a little. Aren't you kind of saying the same thing twice?
