Supposedly Air Marshalls are the best shots in the service.

However, one of the little reported on facts of this case are that the "victim" had his backpack on backwards wearing it on his chest. That alone would draw my suspicion.

its getting to the point where i have agree theres a whole lot of morons around. i see more and more of them each day. it has gotten to the point where we can not take chances with wondering if someone has a gun, a bomb etc. i would rather see one person dead then take the chance a whole plane load of people would be dead. this is a sad story but i blame the wife the most. she knew her husband the best & she should have told the airlines he had problems & she should of made sure he was sane enough to fly. i feel for the air marshall & his family.

"According to a witness, the man frantically ran down the aisle of the Boeing 757, flailing his arms, while his wife tried to explain that he was mentally ill and had not taken his medication."

The fact that she wasn't shot as well speaks a great deal of the professionalism exhibited by the air marshals in this situation.

I may have taken both of them out...the suspected terrorist, and the diversion.

Which one was which to be sorted out after the passengers had been safely removed.

Dude, you're ruining everyone's Dirty Harry fantasies with talk like that. Let them have their fun until Mommy tells them to get off that damn computer.

You still don't get it...

I never stated that the shooting was improper...

You're having an argument with yourself...and it's quite amusing....

Hey, you wouldn't be bi-polar, are you?

If you were offended by by innocuous post then you are definitely on the wrong forum.....

Try reading back to the beginning of my posts on the thread before being judgemental....

Ooohhh...JudgeMENTAL....that didn't offend you, did it?

You're probably a very nice person...but I do believe you are way to sensitive to post in this forum on controversial issues......

Try lurking for a while on these issues and posting on the less inflamed more topical posts....

Just a suggestion...
