Remember Mr. “Space Alien”? That was our friend, Matthew Kleindorfer, who was on a plane from Helena, MT to Salt Lake City, UT. He became unruly and started banging on the cockpit door, probably screaming something along the lines of “oooOOOooo, I am a spaaaace alien! Let me in the cockpit, so I may fly the plane back to the mothership…” or something like that. Bottom line is that he claimed to be a space alien and wanted to fly the plane, according to this KPVI story. Video after the jump:
And according to this story from the PRCA’s ProRodeo.com, a well known cowboy and team roper, Clay O’Brien Cooper, was on this flight as well and helped subdue the space alien wanting to take over the plane:
“The flight attendant asked for help,” Cooper said, “so I came up behind the guy and grabbed him by both arms. I told him, ‘you need to come with me,’ and I took him to a seat in an empty row and told him to put on his seat belt and stay there. He didn’t struggle at all.”
Albeit the ProRodeo story might have their “Falls” cities mixed up (it happened in Idaho Falls, PR website says it happened in Twin), the story also claims the space alien kicked an officer while being arrested. Kleindorfer now faces a felony charge of battery on an officer as well as misdemeanor counts of disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. He also learned the following lesson:
NEVER PRETEND TO BE A SPACE ALIEN ON A PLANE, ESPECIALLY WHEN A COWBOY IS ON BOARD.
And that’s the bottom line, folks.

Immigration reform is all over the news nowadays, since Arizona passed the new law that will crack down on illegal immigration. Seems that a lot of people are uber upset over this, so much so that a rally was held on Saturday here in Boise in opposition of this new law.
A lot of people that are opposed to this are laying out the excuse that immigration should be controlled on the federal level. Hmm, I wonder why? Oh! Perhaps it’s because the almighty President Obama will give them exactly what they want: amnesty. They know they probably won’t get that on the state level, especially in red states.
And what about racial profiling? People are saying this is absolute racism, because the questioning just might be based on skin color. So tell me, if we can’t use visual cues to determine if someone might be illegal, what do we use?? Accents? Facial hair? Or does the Arizona Highway Patrol question EVERY SINGLE PERSON they come in contact with? Tell me, opponents, how are we supposed to identify possible illegals using the “politically correct” way? Seriously, I’d like to hear ideas. I can’t think of any off the top of my head. That’s what the comments section is for.
Now, say you’re hispanic, and here in the country as a legal immigrant. If you get pulled over because the police want to check your citizenship, and you’re here legally, what do you have to worry about? The illegal immigrants are the ones that will worry, and rightfully so. Why? Uhhm, maybe it’s because they are in this country illegally.
So here’s the bottom line: there are legal ways of entering this country. Use them, and you don’t have to worry about jack crap. Nuff said.
