Tommy Shane Steiner, a mostly retired country singer, has been flying and landing his private helicopter at an Austin shopping center to “ward off” people who he said were breaking into businesses.
Steiner told KXAN that he likes to commute to work in a helicopter, a sentiment he has shared on Instagram as well.
“Austin traffic is bad, so I’m doing my part to make it a little better by not being in it. #ecowarrior,” he said in a post of a video of him flying over downtown Austin.
Ok, so he’s also a moron. In case anyone was wondering.
So… A guy who hasn’t done any work in years, did something kinda cool 20 years ago, loves Alex Jones, and says that the helicopter he uses to assault and endanger the homeless to defend a business while calling himself a hero to the middle class? Fetch me my fancy bib, it’s time to eat the rich.
… don’t eat junk food. Compost.
I really hope the FAA pulls his license over this shit. His daddy owns the helicopter so this is just some entitled asshole, who I hope gets to sit in traffic with the rest of us soon.

The water balloon assholes?
I’m pretty sure you can get a cream for that
Nice. The news station KXAN did a story on it about a week ago, and there’s video of this guy taking off from the shopping center. What a douche.
“Austin traffic is bad, so I’m doing my part to make it a little better by not being in it. #ecowarrior,”
His lack of self-awareness is far worse than Austin traffic.
“I dump my car’s used oil in the local creek, so there are less people at Jiffy Lube idling their cars #ecowarrior”
I think he’s trying to be funny
Wasn’t wondering 😂
Nah the title cleared that up, but it’s good to get confirmation.
I guess you can count the non-moronic country singers on one hand, after a bad accident with a saw.
Let’s do this.
• Dolly Parton
I think I nailed it. Any others?
Johnny Cash? Willie Nelson, when he is not not buzzed, umm some guy who was very influential and died 60 years ago.

Charlie Pride?
Juice Newton?
I mean, you only need a stub to count to one.
Technically he’s right, since traffic is caused by cars. (the snowflake doesn’t blame itself for the avalanche)
But he’s still a fucking idiot.
I think they’re referring to the #ecowarrior hashtag. I’m sure the original was supposed to be a tongue in cheek dig at the #fuckcars crowd but it’s definitely wrong that a local helicopter ride is better for greenhouse gas emissions than one car in normal traffic
Oh, totally.
I’m only commenting on the “relieving traffic” part of his stupidity.
Yes we were aware, but it’s still “that’s the joke”, my man
I was referring more to the ecowarrior hashtag.
A helicopter will almost never be the environmentally friendly choice for commuting.
He’s fighting in the eco wars alright. Just on the other side.
Pretty sure personal helicopters are not eco friendly though.
Wasn’t commenting on that part, JUST the bit about traffic.

That dude hasn’t sung in 20+ years. Is it really true to say he’s still a somewhat active singer if he hasn’t been carried by a label or toured in multiple decades?
He’s a Texan who found a worse way to travel than an oversized pickup truck.
Ironically his one hit song is about having compassion for a homeless person…
Does this guy want to lose his pilot license?..because that’s how you lose your pilot license.
“Keep Austin weird” Not like that.
Dude looks like a mutant scientific master race experiment made by some yuppy.
“Ohhhh… ROCKY!”
body shaming is only bad when it’s against us
Also weird username
Are you a criminal?
