"He fulfilled his dream, the dream he now paid for so dearly with his life," the club said, reports the Wall Street Journal.

IOW, he died doing what he loved to do.

How nice.

[Gay State Conservative]

he was still a “TERROIST”

Very possibly a terrorist (using he current definition of the word) but not necessarily.See Post #15.

If he was,in fact,solely responsible for this (which seems distinctly possible) he was almost certainly either a terrorist or absolutely out of his mind.Actually,he could also have been a garden variety psychopath who relished the opportunity to kill 150 innocent people.

You could be right, but even in the world of psycho serial killers, this would be extremely out of the ordinary. Serial killers generally want to get their hands dirty, not sit in what amounts to a separate room while all his victims are elsewhere. They didn't even know they were in danger until the final seconds.

He could be crazy, but I still suspect a political motive and Islam is the dominant political movement that uses these tactics. We'll learn more in the coming days.

Really! Isn’t that what we all wish for, to die doing what we love?
The man was a terrorist.

[Obadiah]

That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering.

[BenLurkin]

Never piss off the gay guys...

[P-Marlowe]

I just had a weird thought.

What if Andreas Lubitz’s body is found in a dumpster somewhere in Germany?

[RedStateRocker]

Yes. I know it well. Good eye!

[BenLurkin]

In Barcelona more likely

"Is that the approach to the Golden Gate Bridge behind him in the photo?"

Found the original & it is.

[dead]

That would be an interesting twist. It is possible that he wasn’t who they think he is. We’ll learn that too in the days ahead, like if the pilot or any of the other airport or airline personnel knew Andreas Lubitz personally before the flight.

[BigCinBigD]

Did he lock the door as a matter of training? Is it possible he had a medical issue?

[Blackirish]

He’s Caucasian how us that “muzzie” ?

[Louis Foxwell]

That is a genuinely weird thought. Tin hats anyone? Not to say it couldn’t be true.

[BigCinBigD]

Did he lock the door as a matter of training? Is it possible he had a medical issue?

[vetvetdoug]

Lubitz must be another fan of the prime airplane terrorist, Auburn Calloway. Thanks to the race of professional victims for giving the world Kamikaze pilots using large transports.

[arthurus]

But was he, perhaps, Moslem?

[BenLurkin]

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh

French authorities said his family had left Marseille, where a press conference was held earlier on 26 March.

Why was his family in Marseille? That is practically a muslim enclave in France these days. This is a red flag.

However politically incorrect and painful, the public will demand that every detail of this guy’s life , habits and beliefs become known. Lufthansa was not off to a good start when it refused to immediately release the names of the pilots. It was also very suspicious that Obama stated immediately after the accident that it was not an act of terrorism. How could he be sure? Regardless of his motivation it was sheer terror for those passengers and their families and the flying public.

True, true, true and true. On all counts.
