Ludicrous! Do you really believe that? Try telling that to the judge.
The Hague Convention and the UK ANO explain it very clearly.
What's the difference (in the eyes of the law) of a hunt supporter trying to stop and aircraft/get to the pilot and a dark skinned man from the Middle East doing the same?
Its hijacking, plane and simple. I would put good money on the pilot that the murder charge will never stick.
