Guilty Or Not Guilty?
The fact that Walters had successfully landed without incident and that he had avoided injury throughout this crazy adventure was, of course, very encouraging news to receive. But the fact of the matter was that flying a lawn chair that was held aloft by balloons into federal airspace was definitely against the rules.
As soon as Walters’ feet made contact with the ground after his landing, members of the Long Beach Police Department immediately placed him under arrest. But what kind of wrongdoing could they possibly accuse him of? There is no way that anyone, legislators included, could have possibly foreseen something as insane as that act.
