They think we should just sit and talk to them to understand them???? More and more I believe that many on the left are suffering from mental disorders beyond boomeritis.

double tap should be chest-head, as the gun will naturally lift in recoil.

I'd just be cautious either way on this. It's going to take time for the true facts to come out, and until they do, we can't really come to a reasonable judgment.

since we know they travel in groups, right?

I guess. Either that or let God sort 'em out. ;-)

Worse yet, his wife knew he was mentally ill and off his meds, and didn't do anything to prevent this tragedy.

Exactly

It was the voices in his head ; )

Seriously, I was diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, the diagnosis was later changed to bipolar.

Plus it's kinda hard to turn the other cheek after it's been blown off.

This sure doesn't sound like "being off his meds" for bipolar disorder. Bipolar is emotional highs and lows. If he was having delusions or hallucinations and became combative...he had schizophrenia.

Regardless....his wife KNEW? I think she's a few sammiches short of a picnic herself...letting him fly instead of making sure he received medical attention.

When a law enforcement officer gives you direct orders (lie down, put your hands on your head, etc), if you disobey orders and make an aggressive move like you might be going for a weapon or something, they're authorized to use deadly force.

I know that liberals hate this, but this principle has been around for a long time.

"people who are mentally unstable without their meds..."

Am I the only person wondering if the wife "forgot to pack" the spare meds?

Was there any recent insurance purchased, maybe at one of those kiosks in the airport?

Just sayin'

One thing I have noticed here in Miami is that the video feed has been looped, so that we are seeing the same shot of the plane repeated every ten minutes.

the wife may have realised he was off his meds while they were on the plane.

when bipolar people are in manic phase it is very hard to get them to take their meds.

they get combative and antsy.

This guy mustve been extreme case though

I have a bipolar relative who flies all the time

Flies to Australia with no problems. Im a wimp about flying, but my nutty relative loves it.

Anyway, I fele sorry for the wife. Total nightmare.

Of course she'll probably sue though.

One can only hope. The legal BS in this country surrounding mental illness has got to stop. It's not an "alternate lifestyle", they're not "exercising their freedom", they're very sick and unable to make decisions for themselves. We really need a system where people who indisputably have mental illnesses that cause them to disconnect from reality, are legally declared persons in need of supervision, and then either kept institutionalized, or put in the legal custody of someone who agrees to take legal responsibility for them.

.......The plane was parked at Gate 42 in the D concourse when, according to federal officials, one of the passengers on the plane got up, started running through the plane screaming that he had an explosive with him, perhaps in a backpack.

At that point, federal air marshals tried to intervene. When the man failed to stop there was a pursuit that then led on to the jetway. At least one shot was then apparently fired........
