It’s really unfair to show his home and location where his innocent family lives. He clearly suffered a major mental health crisis. He needs help and his family needs support. This is really disturbing journalism.
It’s called doxing and it illegal in California. This dude sucks but KRON is about to pay him big time.
His address isn’t private and neither is yours unless you take extra steps. Type your name into fastpeoplesearch.com and see all your old addresses listed for everybody to see.
Station only cares about eyeballs watching their channel.
More viewers they have the more money they get to charge advertisers.
An reporter gets name recognition, with similar behavior, gets to move up the food chain.
Old adage if it bleeds, it leads.
Regarding disturbing journalism, on the news last night the reporter interviewed a pilot in a similar cockpit as the plane flown and the pilot pointed out which levers this man was trying to pull to kill the engines. The information is probably out there already but I don’t think it was necessary to show.
Anyone allowed into the cockpit is going to know where they are and what they do. The information is publicly available and readily found as well.
Ethics in journalism has taken a backseat to advertisers.
He might want to think twice before he does ‘shrooms again…..just sayin’
Sounds more like amphetamine psychosis. Stimulants are a popular class of drugs for pilots, for obvious reasons.
“Shrooms’ effects wear off after a few hours. They don’t make you stay awake for 2 days. My guess is that there was some meth at play here.
It was just reported on the news that this pilot had taken some magic mushrooms up in Washington before his flight! He was otherwise a very responsible good person who just thought it would experiment. This is a wake up call for us, as our state wants to legalize these magic mushrooms, saying they have all sorts of benefits. The city of Oakland is already decriminalized them so despite the drug industry saying how wonderful they are, we find out that itsjust another bad drug that’s going to further ruin our Society.
If he were actually on shrooms his eyes would have been noticeably dilated.
Whatever the case, shrooms are not the problem here.
If he had been up for over a day straight there was likely other drugs involved or bipolar type of mania.
If you don’t want shrooms legalized that’s fine. But this incident isn’t any justification. People can get just as crazy on easier to find drugs. And the fact that he obtained the shrooms at all and brought them to work, showed a certain amount of premeditated action. The shrooms didn’t make him lose control. He was already far down that path when he took them.
Do you want the pilot of you next flight to take ‘shrooms’ before your flight? He /she might pull a lever in the cockpit thinking it would take everyone thru a fun splash mountain ride.
Splash mountain ride?… sounds like you’ve never done shrooms.
If shrooms were decriminalized they would still be illegal for pilots to take, just like alcohol or weed.
The pilot took shrooms (allegedly) two days prior. There is no chance that they caused this. I speak from experience – just sayin’.
Another straight up left wing lunatic COVID HOAX freak show trying to take others down with him. Dude has a long history of postings on twitter/X. Well known as a Covidiot. Definitely a mental case. It’s unfortunate what the hoax did to you lefties. Wonder if he’s mad about the newest vaccine side effect news. Or maybe his heart is acting up. Weird. All because the establishment was afraid of KING TRUMP. 🤣
This was a weird take.
In my opinion this is ridiculous. He obviously had some sort of mental breakdown, not fomenting murderous intentions. If they won’t charge smash and gran, or grab and run shoplifting crimes, or the people rolling carts full of liquor bottles out of CVS without paying, for example, this seems more like a reckless endangerment crime. Not murder!.
He’s a COVID HOAX liberal who was made crazy by propaganda. This system is really good at creating lunatics.
Okay! If he knowingly took psychedelic mushrooms before taking the cockpit, that’s another story.
What happened to drug testing?
@ RUNDOG.
Mushrooms were ingested two days before the flight.
Also, if you read the filed complaint, the pilot is on record saying he wanted to kill everybody.
I think we can safely strike “pilot” from his resume.
.
And State Senator Scott Wiener D-SF) had drafted a bill to legalize “magic mushrooms”.
.
Let that sink in.
.
Luckily Newscum vetoed it. Laws written by liberals have little regard for unintended consequences as it applies to public safety.
.
It’s already legal to buy mushrooms here, and the federal gov’t is on board expecting mushrooms to receive FDA approval and be removed from Schedule I status within a couple years. Australia just legalized em, and they’ve been in successful clinical trials here for a while now.
If you actually have any weird issues or fears of mushrooms being legal, it might be worth getting started working through them.
This is sad and scary. It could’ve ended a lot worse.
Sad situation all the way around especially for his family. Was it really necessary show where he lives and embarrass his family????
Yes, I feel bad for his family. It sounds like he had some kind of breakdown. What he did was scarry and could have ended very badly. He needs to be punished, perhaps a mental institution. I guess we will find out more if and when he goes on trial, unless a plea deal is reached. His family should not have to suffer, because of his action or mental illness.
Friend briefly pursued pilot training for an airline career after high school. He said they had a rule that taking LSD once disqualified you for life, since a flashback could occur any time. I’ve never heard of shroom flashbacks, so probably not a thing, but messing with any kind of hallucinogenic while a commercial pilot seems like a really bad idea. I don’t even want my pilots smoking weed in their off time.
I doubt this guy was evil, just made a huge huge mistake in judgment, and it will ruin his life. Really awful all around.
This guy was obviously struggling, as so many people are. Some can handle things better than others. Depression plus sleep deprivation plus psychedelics is not a good mix for a commercial airline pilot. The folks on board that plane were very fortunate that the crew remained calm and were able to navigate the plane to a safe landing. Navigating this life is difficult enough.
If he was awake for forty hours was he flying or was he waiting in Seattle for a ride home. I always like the back story. He seems to be a good person. He confessed and didn’t ask for a lawyer. Too bad he did such a serious thing.
He got pissed and pulled the engine shut-offs, he was tired of everyone calling him “Shirley”.

Look who he’s appealing to. This dude is a duped lefty, similar to many in this community.
.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
All you are doing is proving he was an absolute empath. He was obviously feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. This is so seriously tragic. Mental health is enough of a struggle in private, I can’t imagine this affect this widely public incident is having on him and his family.
According to press account the pilot was under the influence of “magic mushrooms” when this incident happened. This is a drug found in certain mushrooms that mimics being under the influence of LSD. The California legislature passed a bill this year that made magic mushrooms legal, the bill was vetoed by Governor Newsom. If Newsom wasn’t running for President he likely would have signed the bill. The legalization of dangerous drugs is not a good thing, as many in San Francisco will tell you. SF is overrun with homeless drug addicts, as a result the city has become a dangerous place. Tourism is down, stores are closing, historic fine dining establishments are closing right and left, conventions are being cancelled, big companies are closing office buildings – SF, and LA, are both overrun with homeless drug addicts, many of them also mentally ill, yet the California Legislature decides to legalize “magic mushroom”. That’s just plain dumb.
I do not know what bothers me more in that he had a mental crises and figured he could end it all or that commercial pilots feel free to do mushrooms while being pilots. I think I would rather believe he had a breakdown which seem rare rather than the thought that the pilot flying the plane I am on is potentially on another planet (50-50).
showing his house is stupid and disrespectful to his family and the neighbors and I would not shed a tear if they get sued.
He was off duty
yes that is true but a pilot as well as other occupations requiring discretion has to be drug free on or off. even things like codeine in cough syrup has to be declared.
Drugs are bad Mmm-Kay…….
I mean… showing his home, the number of his address, and the license plate number on the car — Yeah, we’ve lost a lot of privacy due to the internet but the fact KRON 4 did nothing to protect his is immoral. It opens his family to retaliation or any sort of unwanted attention.
Bad move.
And mushrooms don’t make you suicidal or keep you from sleeping for 40 hours. Manic phases and depressive phases do that. Mushrooms are supposed to help regulate manic-depressive behaviors and they certainly don’t make you violent.
Took me all of two minutes to locate his house in Pleasant Hill (decent neighborhood past the country club and Hidden Lakes park). It’s amazing what is out there on the interwebs…
Psychiatrists/Therapists are having success using magic mushrooms in a controlled environment.
They are curing alcoholism. Yale researchers have found a single dose of psilocybin, the active compound in “magic mushrooms,” given to mice prompted a long-lasting increase in the connections between neurons.
There are neural connections that are lost in depression.
C-Mo… Don;t worry the family will do a go fund me and end up rich and famous He will have a book release soon. It’s the new Dem way.
Per the court docs (Emerson not only tried to pull the fire suppression in the cockpit but also tried to open an emergency exit door):
Responding officers interviewed several flight attendants. During the flight, the
flight attendants received a call from the cockpit that EMERSON was “losing it” and he needed
to get out of the cockpit. EMERSON was observed peacefully walking to the back of the aircraft.
EMERSON told one flight attendant that he “just got kicked out of the flight deck.” EMERSON
said to the flight attendant, “You need to cuff me right now or it’s going to be bad.” The flight
attendants sat EMERSON in a flight attendant seat in the back of the aircraft and placed cuffs on
EMERSON’s wrists. During the flight’s decent, EMERSON turned towards an emergency exit
door and tried to grab the handle. A flight attendant stopped EMERSON by placing her hands on
top of EMERSON’s hands. The flight attendant engaged EMERSON in conversation in an
attempt to distract him from trying to grab the emergency exit handle again. Another flight
attendant observed EMERSON make statements such as, “I messed everything up” and that “he
tried to kill everybody.” The flight attendant noticed EMERSON take out his cellular phone and
appeared to be texting on the phone. EMERSON was heard saying he had just put 84 peoples’
lives at risk tonight including his own.
He needs to be incarcerated until he dies in a federal prison. The societal excuses for criminal behavior must end.
Jamaal Bowman has a copycat.
Just an observation, people are blasting KRON4 for putting out personal information of the accused pilot, but the same information is here on this newsblog. What’s different??????
Personally, I’m blasting both! This is a member of the community in which this “blog” serves. It’s highly alarming.
Yes it’s alarming when crimes occur in the area daily and a suspect is known or even arrested yet the name isn’t released and no photo posted, but in this case nobody was injured and it’s an obvious mental health issue. Yet this man’s name, photo, home are all plastered all over by many media outlets and even interviewing his neighbors! Where is the deep dive into the lives of our carjackers lives, our robbery suspects backgrounds, our shooting suspects. The double standard is sickening…
The effect of mushrooms if taken 40 hours before this incident would have not played into this person’s actions. I hate how that is even part of the story, as it bears no weight, yet everyone is concentrating on that and demonizing that.
This is a very disturbed person, obviously in desperate need of help, that in his state should never have been in the position he was in to put so many at risk. With that being said, if he were driving a car, he could have the opportunity to inflict a similar risk, depending on where he was, i.e., driving on wrong side of freeway, driving into a restaurant. I hope he gets punished, and I also hope he gets the mental help he needs. The charges don’t seem appropriate to me though, especially if he was not under the influence at the time. Sleep deprivation is worse than being drunk!
@citizen Me
No, it is not highly alarming. CLAYCORD.com is doing its job……reporting on the community, like it or not.
“There’s a man on the wing!”
@DR. JELLYFINGER….Mr.Serling and a young Capt. Kirk nailed that episode.
There’s a mass murderer on the loose in Maine right now who was coddled thru the mental health merry go ’round…… 2 weeks in the hospital & then released. He went over the edge last night.
22 dead & 30 wounded, so far.
Numbers changed now …. 18 dead & 13 injured.
