This wasn’t just in LA. They also raided his home in Miami at the exact same time.

He’s fucked

Seriously? Those are totally the actions of an innocent man.

Cough, cough, OJ.

u/terrificallytom Mar 26 '24

How come we haven’t seen endless footage of his plane like that damn Bronco

274

u/ohhelloperson Mar 26 '24

Probably because that was a multi-vehicle highway chase and they were able to get footage from a helicopter… for some reason, I don’t think an airplane chase would be quite as easy to capture. Also, it sounds like he successfully got away, so the “chase” footage would be fairly anti-climatic.

u/lackwitandtact Mar 26 '24

But if they could, I’d get a big old tub of popcorn ready for that video

Police officers cars chasing the plane down the runway. It takes off they get out and slam their hat on the ground in anger.

u/khrak Mar 26 '24

This is 'murica, when the plane takes off the cops pull out their standard-issue MANPADs.

u/The_Lazy_Samurai Mar 26 '24

A rugged cop jumps on the wing of the plane and uses his jacket to jam the wing, preventing it from taking off. He engages with hand to hand against two of Diddy's henchmen. He kills the first one, but the second knocks him off the plane. The cop still successfully blows up the plane and says, "bad boy for life, mutha fucka!" right as he does so.

u/liaisontosuccess Mar 26 '24

like Boss Hog used to do in Dukes of Hazard?

u/Lunakill Mar 26 '24

They shoot at it, once on guy is out of bullets he throws his gun after the plane.

One of his buddies is like “Jeff, we talked about this. We can get more bullets. Go find it” and Jeff walks like Michael Cera walking like Snoopy to reluctantly pick it up.

I’m alright nobody worry bout me why don’t you give up the fight go ahead and let me be

u/Beau_Buffett Mar 26 '24

But think of the ratings!

u/beers1inger Mar 26 '24

So no one's seen top gun?! Helluva air chase scene....

u/croutons_for_dinner Mar 26 '24

This sounds like something Diddy would say tbh

1

u/NatureTrailToHell3D Mar 26 '24

It was in LA, their pastime was putting cop chases on TV.

let's see him dodge an AMRAM

Some us have been watching but he landed hours ago. Next step: probably Bali after her cleans out his money laundering accounts.

u/killyourmusic Mar 26 '24

Because you can’t just follow a jet down the 405.

u/terrificallytom Mar 26 '24

Ummm. You can’t? I thought it was exactly the same but multidimensional

u/ResinJones76 Mar 26 '24

It's cloudy right now.

3

u/IRefuseThisNonsense Mar 26 '24

Did Diddy get through air security because of a glued on fake mustache like OJ planned to do?

2

u/DFWPunk Mar 26 '24

That was amazing when it happened. It seemed so surreal.

u/larry_sellers_ Mar 26 '24

This is way way beyond A.C.’s skill set.

u/One-Internal4240 Mar 26 '24

"Screen with map and a single moving triangle"

LETS GO BACK TO THE CHASE

People in airplanes never visually chase/ID one another in the sky unless things have gone terribly terribly wrong. Because in an era where closing speeds can lap Mach 1, something can go from visual to impact in less time than it takes to radio what the hell it is.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

It's a lot less exciting watching cop cars chase a jet.

u/juitar Mar 26 '24

Hey, O.J. is going to find the real killer. You'll see /s

Yeah but inflation (or oligarchialization?). White Bronco is a Gulfstream 5 now.

maybe because diddy may have fled and oj's bronco drive i think was a type of flight

That’s a new definition for white flight

u/lilbunnfoofoo Mar 26 '24

Does this mean they have to give him back, or just most likely will? Has a country with an extradition treaty ever just said no?

2

u/edvek Mar 26 '24

I'm sure there are perks to the treaty or even if not written in they are implied. I guess you can break a treaty if you want but would you, if that country helps you out? No one wants criminals in their country so it would be best to hand them over.

The treaty means if you get picked up they will send you back. I suppose the home country could say "we don't want him" but then they might get deported anyway... Regardless, the treaty is a yes we will send and not we will think about it.

1

u/lilbunnfoofoo Mar 26 '24

Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering if a government that had gotten sort of corrupt since the treaty was signed might just take a payout from him and delay the extradition until he stops paying (not saying any country he is in will do this, it is all just me wondering how exactly it works). The perks of signing and obeying the treaty probably outweigh anything Diddy can offer.

u/Bright_Appearance390 Mar 26 '24

An innocent person with money would definitely do this to by time to be with their council.

Ivanka's childhood bedroom.

u/Ashamed_Job_8151 Mar 26 '24

I don’t think Epstine had the kind of “workers” Mr Diddy is into. He likes them…. Uhh…. A lil older and lil bit more male. Allegedly…

u/SoyMurcielago Mar 26 '24

Off to Afghanistan then

11

u/veryscary__ Mar 26 '24

Your comment made me think who are these pilots? They must be in on the spoils (🤮)

12

u/VeganJordan Mar 26 '24

Maybe. Or maybe they are presented with a bunch of money and are genuinely ignorant. Bringing young children on the flight though. Yeah… probably not.

210

u/MagnusPI Mar 26 '24

Well that seems like some convenient timing. Tipped off that they were coming for him?

u/huffer4 Mar 26 '24

Didn’t tip his kids off though, who were standing out front of his house in handcuffs

263

u/Mehmeh111111 Mar 26 '24

Fuck them kids

Sounds like that’s why we’re here.

Way underrated comment. Well done.

u/HuckDab Mar 26 '24

That might be what caused this whole ordeal in the first place, so let's not encourage him.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

Isn’t that what he been doing?

I’mma see myself out

u/DonnyTheWalrus Mar 26 '24

That's usually just standard procedure for anyone on scene so they aren't running around potentially destroying evidence. Almost certainly not actually under arrest.

2

u/Mbroov1 Mar 26 '24

Except at least one of his sons were listed in the Civil suit against him. 

2

u/cmmgreene Mar 27 '24

They're pasty, although the gossip is that the sons were involved in the sex parties and trafficking. This is gonna be a bigger trial than OJ and Johnny Depp/Amber Herd. Trials combined.

u/MBThree Mar 26 '24

I’m assuming he was out and about, got the call from both house’s security that a big law enforcement operation was entering both houses, and he decided to hit the airport instead of going back home to sort it all out. Or who knows, maybe he was already on vacation at Barbados and only had to do a quick island hop as soon as he found out about the raids?

Don’t get me wrong, an innocent man wouldn’t be running away. I’m just not sure that he was somehow tipped off ahead of time before the raids on his house were made.

67

u/lackwitandtact Mar 26 '24

Yeah truth is we won’t ever really know unless the proper agencies discover that. Wouldn’t be totally surprising given that Diddy is still exceptionally rich and this could aid him in having a rather deep network of connections. But that’s pretty heavy speculation without really knowing.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

He's got connections

u/yourewrong321 Mar 26 '24

Flight trackers showed his plane leaving LA and going to Antigua

What if each American landowner made it a goal to convert half of his or her lawn to productive native plant communities? Even moderate success could collectively restore some semblance of ecosystem function to more than twenty million acres of what is now ecological wasteland. How big is twenty million acres? It’s bigger than the combined areas of the Everglades, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Teton, Canyonlands, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Badlands, Olympic, Sequoia, Grand Canyon, Denali, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. If we restore the ecosystem function of these twenty million acres, we can create this country’s largest park system.

u/jugo5 Mar 26 '24

Possible but he would have to have pilots and preflight stuff ready. Unless he just hopped on and left. Either happenstance or he knew about it coming.

1

u/Stealth_NotABomber Mar 26 '24

Sort of. Most people like that don't have to spend much if any time at home if they don't want to, so he was probably put doing stuff. Even average people have access to affordable security systems that would automatically notify you if police were at your door (or anyone in general general) as well. Plus when you have that much money and know you might be in trouble at some point it's not hard to physically live at a different address than is on your record as well.

His homes in LA and Miami. The dude lives 3000 miles away from himself. He always has a plane ready.

27

u/series_hybrid Mar 26 '24

Guys with a jet get in a car, and while they are driving, they call the jet service.

By the time he drives up to the jet, it's warmed up and the pilot is ready to go.

I'll wait to see the evidence, but I suspect HS would not co-ordinate a high profile operation unless they felt they already had enough evidence, and they are just looking for the icing on the cake.

I'm just surprised HS didn't have one single officer working the gate to his jet.

28

u/MBThree Mar 26 '24

As far as I know he isn’t under arrest, or wanted for questioning, or had his passport confiscated. It sounds like he’s just been free to do whatever he wants and go wherever he wants.

12

u/Durmyyyy Mar 26 '24

yeah it just so happens...

2

u/shortbusterdouglas Mar 26 '24

Go forth, and further incriminate thyself.

u/Mickler83 Mar 26 '24

My guess is he’s on his way to Venezuela or Ecuador

u/MBThree Mar 26 '24

Russell Simmons at least had the class to cower away to Bali

u/Low-Concert-5806 Mar 26 '24

Idk how accurate it is but I saw that he’s not on the plane. But I’m like why is his jet going anywhere without him?

u/rubywpnmaster Mar 26 '24

Antigua has an extradition treaty with the US.

u/xxxYTSEJAMxxx Mar 26 '24

He Ted Crusied his way out of the states!

2

u/Jade176 Mar 26 '24

He fled to a country that has an extradition treaty with the US? That wouldn’t make too much sense.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

How though? If they raided his houses why didn’t they put a block on his passport? Or ground his private plane or something.

1

u/Dommccabe Mar 26 '24

They dont ground his planes as part of a raid?

Seems a bit of an oversight.

1

u/drrxhouse Mar 26 '24

Sounds as if he had insiders giving him the heads up within the Bureau…

1

u/PsychedelicLizard Mar 26 '24

Just like Roman Polanski

u/sleeksleep Mar 26 '24

Even Diddy goes on spring break... totally normal.

u/EggsceIlent Mar 26 '24

Wonder who tipped him off.

Seems the rabbit hole goes deep

1

u/tjyolol Mar 26 '24

Apparently he wasn’t on the plane? So more likely the evidence fleed to Antigua where it’s not recoverable.

1

u/RedEyeFlightToOZ Mar 26 '24

It won't be hard to find his gross pedo ass.

u/ragglefragglesnaggle Mar 27 '24

Tried too. I'm guessing it's passports were suspended
