Remember what I said yesterday on my show folks, that as soon as the dust settled they would be criticizing the Air Marshall who shot this man who stated he had a bomb ? Well it's already starting, and of course from our good friends in the main Stream News Media. Check out some of the headlines about the incident below:
U.S. air marshal kills passenger
In this headline the International Herald Tribune seems to suggest that the Air Marshall just KILLED a passanger in cold blood.
Look at Bloomberg's headline:
U.S. Air Marshal Shoots American Airlines Passenger
or this posted on Rediff.com:
US air marshal guns down passenger
Or how about this whopper from MSNBC:
Air marshal guns down man at Miami airport
Wow ! An Air Marshal just GUNNED down a man at Miami Airport, no mention of the man posing a threat in the headlines.
Or this excerpt from an AP story:
The man, identified as Rigoberto Alpizar, a 44-year-old U.S. citizen, was gunned down on a jetway just before the American Airlines plane was about to leave for Orlando, near his home in Maitland.
Or from the CBC News in Canada:
US air marshal kills plane passenger
And of course we can't forget our good friends at the NY Times:
Air Marshals Shoot and Kill Passenger at Miami Airport
The MSNM is trying to demonize the Air Marshal in the headlines and hope you dont read THE REST OF THE STORY.
HERE ARE SOME HEADLINES THAT MORE ACCURATELY AND RESPONSIBLY PORTRAY WHAT HAPPENED:
Air marshal kills passenger in confrontation at Miami airport
Sky marshal shoots, kills man claiming to have bomb on jet at Miami airport
Hang onto your hats ladies and gentlemen because its going to get worse no bomb was found and passangers and the man's wife are claiming that he had a mental condition and was not taking his medication. The MSNM will be hanging this Marshal out to dry soon as you can see by their SUGGESTIVE headlines....J.R.
Let this be a lesson;
If you are crazy and don't take your meds, don't get on a plane and threaten the feds.
Oh hear's a headline
Man Threatens to blow up plane
They'd lose with the media either way. That's why I say take not prisoners in the war on terror. And if you do, keep them only as long as necessary, then dispose of them out of an airplane over the pacific.
Someone would have to not be taking their meds for a long time...I don't know why you would let your husband get on an airplane if that was the case.
And if the Air Marshall hadn't shot the guy and he DID have a bomb, MSM would wring their hands about how ineffective the air marshall program is....no-win situation here...
You are a regular Dr. Seuss.
This is the news du jour until a new story pops out. Too many chattering skulls, not enough real news.
Tell ya what-- most terrorists could be considered to be the same.
Niiiizzzzze!!!
I picked up on this last night on CNN when they packaged the story under this title: Air Passenger Shot to Death.
Now, doesn't that make it sound like this guy was a victim?
Subtle, but obvious to me that CNN is twisting and warping again. What a surprise.
The New York Post:
Headline:
DEAD ON ARRIVAL
Feds kill bomb-threat flier
Page 7:
FLIER BUMPED OFF
Air Marshal shoots him after crazed talk of 'bomb'
Of course -- the "victim" was a not a white male, so it's worse than 9/11 according to the liberal media.
Air Marshal Did the Right Thing - film at eleven.
Did the articles go on to say that the man claimed he had a bomb, acted erratically, etc.? The air marshall did in fact kill a passenger. Is that up for debate? That it was in response to his behavior is, I'm sure, explained in the body of the article. Not every article can get a 60 character title.
A bit of tweaking, and we'd have some fine Haiku...
You are a regular Dr. Seuss.

More like Johnny Cocharan.
"Air marshals kill traveller in Miami" - al Jazeera
..who then threatened the lives of over 100 people...
So why wasn't he on his meds? Who's fault was that? I think it's criminaly irresponsible to allow someone who's obiviosly a thret to others to fly unescorted. Where was his family when he was boarding the plane to tell everyone of the potential danger this person posed to all who were flying on this plane?
I guess you could say not taking your medication can be life threatening.
