  • EXACTLY! But for some reason they are trying to cover up the hoax. Anyone who watched all the emerging details, videos, read the blogs, visited their youtube, has 1/2 a brain to look at the balloon, knows they are all lying ot cover it up. The only honest one is the 6 year old boy who blurted out the truth.

  • HAHA, nice of the sheriff to set the record straight it wasn't a hoax. Just like his good neighbor who also helped. (note: major sarcasm)

  • wow u guys should be debunking myths on television, and nathanjamesbaker u sure are a law professional u should be sheriff in ur locale....lol idiots wishin for conspiracy

  • yo robert. you were right and i was wrong.

    i salute you and your "amazing" powers to read emotions and predict future events.

    as an engineer, such intuitive leaps are not something with which i'm comfortable.

    so as you said, i'm the moron here and you are the master bra.

  • Don't be jealous, I can buy and sell 10 of you lol. Let's do this, I'll show my house and car on cam and you do the same, ok?

  • i dont get why ppl actually thought that balloon would even float with a six year old in it, i watched myth busters about a year ago and they tested how many helium balloons will be able to lift up a 4 year old and i cnt remeber exactly how many balloons they used but it was something like the movie UP, alot of balloons so its clearly a freaking hoax.

  • hahahah lol

  • Calling people half breed is not racist? Like I said before, shouldn't you be selling some dope and robbing people at gunpoint? You are very good at that. Hahaha! LOL

  • Sheriff was lying to get the hoaxers, lol

  • LOLOLOLOL You dumb racist bastard I'm not even black you madman, I'm Filipino and Arab. Look I didn't make you and this pathetic family fail, God did lol.

  • Shouldn't you be selling drugs somewhere on a street corner? How about doing a drive by shooting on your homies?

  • Enjoy sharing a jail cell with the halfbreed's parents.
