Fox News: Shots fired on American Airlines flight out of Miami

Dec. 7 2005 | Fox

Jeepers, with criteria that broad ranging, what's to differentiate being bipolar from suffering from delusional disorder?

[LdSentinal]

Great shooting and reflexes by the air marshals.

Tune in tonight to Hardball where they will discuss how this was orchestrated by Karl Rove in order to improve President Bush's "sagging poll numbers."/s

[tobyhill]

The 911 Commission will now have to meet and discuss how much of a failure this shooting was. I'm sure Gorelick has some memo against shooting threatening people on a plane.

[jdm]

"Was anyone screaming "Allah Ackbar" at the time?"

I literally spit water all over my computer screen reading that. Too funny!

[M1-A2]

He's saying this is the first time someone has been dumb enough to yell "I gotta bomb" then appear to reach for some thing such as a detonation device.

The guy pulled, as Carlos Mencia would say, a DER DER DER

[Strategerist]

Bipolar? I'm no shrink, but claiming to have a bomb sounds more like schizophrenia territory to me...

People who are seriously bipolar and not on meds and at the peak of an up cycle can be very psychotic and out of control.

Women will strip naked and offer sex to random people on the street, etc.

[Babu]

"My husband, my husband; he's bipolar and hasn't had his medication?"

Well there's an obvious easy solution to an unfortunate repeat of this incident -- just put a large Warning Label on all aeroplanes:

Yelling, "I HAVE A BOMB" on this plane, whether you have taken your meds or not, may cause you to assume room temperature. Yell at your own risk.

Bipolar disorder is very commonly associated with schizophrenic behavior.

This is normally diagnosed as "schizophrenic effective."

Along with bizarre thought processes, auditory hallucinations, and other such indications commonly seen with what is known as "schizophrenia."

[mewzilla]

And how the heck is a LEO supposed to do that while chasing some guy in an airport?

[YoshiBear]

yep Gorlick is going to demand a wall between the air marshalls and the criminals/terrorists....now Shep suggesting the guy trying to run away from child support payments

[Howlin]

Me, too! And I've made a CONSCIOUS decision NOT to let it bother me anymore. It was making me crazier than I already am.

With the exception of Britt Hume and the panel, Michael Barone, and Mark Steyn, I'm not buying a word they say.

[LadyBuzz]

I'm listening to Howie Carr & that's his take on it too

[SaxxonWoods]

Where are these women? They need immediate help.

[The Electrician]

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

That's what I love about breaking news... When the 'free and independent press' hasn't yet been told what to think about and report about the incident...

[theFIRMbss]

>Here are the symptoms of bipolar disorder ...

Just imagine if
random FR threads were screened
by some computer

for posts displaying
those characteristics . . . We
all might get some meds!

[Steelerfan]

Unless he was trying to commit suicide by cop (or in this case air marshall).

[conservativewasp]

"The suspect and his wife were white and spoke English"

Amish are white and speak some English.

[Soul Seeker]

I loved that guy.

Just the right focus I want our "protectors" to have. A clean shot is to be praised.

[Spyder]

I'd say that Sean is too contentious with liberals who call into his show and too quick to call them liars

That or he wants them to admit to something he knows full well they won't and then keeps harping on it. He got Beckel yesterday to say that Dean should have said the things he did, but he kept harping on the "doesn't this embarass you?" question.
