James McNair video

Awesome video of James McNair, a 3-time prison escapee in the USA, bamboozling a policeman who has stopped him running along railroad tracks shortly after escaping from a maximum-security prison. Fantastic article about this guy in the New Yorker... I sense a biopic in the making.

Keep that McNair article for me if you've still got it, Tyson. I'd love to read it. Do you know what he was in for?

I guess the cop did as much as he could do, short of hauling the guy in. Sounds like the prison authorities/police weren't very organised, though!

Although, he definitely does seem to change his name from Robert Jones to Jimmy Jones the second time he's asked his name, if I'm hearing it right, so that's some crack policing right there, missing that one.
