Hope this is not a duplicate. No more details yet Passengers getting off

[Miss Marple]

Ha! I heard that, too!

I need to go pick up the grandkids. I will check later to see what the outcome is.

[michigander]

the shooting took place when air marshals aboard the flight spotted someone they thought was ‘walking aggressively’.

Note to self: Always walk passively.

[george wythe]

The suspect was shot after reading reaching into a bag.

[Hank Rearden]

Hannity says "passengers would be happy to pay an extra $20 per flight to put an armed air marshal on every fight."

I haven't heard his alleged "show" in a couple years, but it seems Hannity is still a dolt with boring topics/comments.

And, BTW, at $20/head, passengers would be paying more than $3,000 each way for an air marshal onboard. How do I get one of those jobs, and shouldn't a $3-trillion Federal budget cover that kind of thing?

With no entertainment value, and lacking a head for math, poor Sean's facing extinction.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Herridge ......'first time Air Marshalls have discharged their weapons since 9-11."

I don't see what the big point she and Shep are trying to make here. Is it "We've been attacked again" ?

Then you've got the moron who wrote a story saying a man wielding a bomb in not a terrorist.

Clearly the DNC hasn't sent out their instructions for the media yet, they are still in disorganized mode.

[Howlin]

He did his job.

And, frankly, I'm not in the "mood" to hear anybody carping about it.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Well at least THEY would be able to read this story and understand it which is more capability than you have demonstrated with that idiotic statement.

[YoshiBear]

regarding the white suspect - actually isn't everyone described as white except blacks and maybe Asians? I mean South Americans and many Saudis appear white to me.

[silentknight]

There has been no indication yet when the passengers aboard the flight will be allowed to continue their trip to Orlando.

Me, too. Here are the symptoms of bipolar disorder from the Natl. Inst. of Mental Health

Signs and symptoms of mania (or a manic episode) include:

Increased energy, activity, and restlessness Excessively "high," overly good, euphoric mood Extreme irritability Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another
Distractibility, can't concentrate well Little sleep needed
Unrealistic beliefs in one's abilities and powers
Poor judgment (he certainly fits this symptom)
Spending sprees
A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual
Increased sexual drive
Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications
Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior
Denial that anything is wrong

A manic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with three or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for 1 week or longer. If the mood is irritable, four additional symptoms must be present.

Signs and symptoms of depression (or a depressive episode) include:

We will hear that Karl Rove broke into a Walgreens pharmacy in Columbia and changed all the refill digits in their computer system to zero on this guy's meds. ^^^^ \sarc ****

[princess leah]

Was anyone screaming "Allah Ackbar" at the time?

[theFIRMbss]

>if the man was mentally ill and was refusing to take his meds, that is sad. But not something the LEOs can be blamed for

Well, of course, they can
be blamed. The cops will always
be blamed by the Left.

I bet we'll see folks
saying the cops should be trained
to talk to suspects

and assess the perp's
mental condition to judge
if they're safe to shoot . . .

[Howlin]

Then you've got the moron who wrote a story saying a man wielding a bomb in not a terrorist.

Who on EARTH said that?

(Yes, I've been Christmas shopping online and NOT listening to the news...LOL)

[prairiebreeze]

You're on a roll. ;^)

[defenderSD]

I'd say that Sean is too contentious with liberals who call into his show and too quick to call them liars, but I wouldn't call him an idiot. He'd be more effective if he let the liberals talk a little more and then trapped them with their own words, like Medved does.

[SE Mom]

WOW- that is creepy...and probably VERY close to the truth of what they'll write!!!

[neodad]

Even if this guy turns out to be just a lone crazy guy off his meds, I think any Ahmed and Abudullah out there will think twice knowing that Air Marshalls are on board, armed and prepared to shoot. Should have a good deterrent effect.

[YoshiBear]

yep I'm with you - glad he shot the guy.

[Frank_Discussion]

It just kind of popped in there...

I watch DVD's and tapes almost exclusively. Regular TV ticks me off.
