[AAflyer]

Let's get to the important item.

All other passengers and the crew is safe. One of our pilots just spoke with the FO about 45 minutes ago.

Now the guys wife is saying...he was bi-polar and not taking his meds.

Feds are saying...he started to run away, he refused to stop when ordered to and they finally shot him when started to reach into his carry-on bag.

Good Call, FAM's!!!

Ditto..... It appears that the FAM did exactly what he was trained and sworn to do.......

The alleged behavior is not indicitive of Bi-Polar disorder. More like sociopathic.

 

[pookie]

The media makes it to believe that the FAM should have asked the guy about his mental status before he shot him. I personally dont believe that it is an issue since the FAM only had a nanosecond to react and made the best judgement with the info he had available and that was that the guy reached for his bag.

Plain and simple...everything else is irrelevant and the pax and crew are safe.

This should prove to be how stupid the media and people are. If the FAMs had not been there everyone would had said- we wish we would have had marshalls there to stop him. Now that they did their job everyone will be saying was it really nessessary.

This should send a message, don't be an asz head on a plane! if you are so medically unstable that you are going to yell you have a bomb you need to be in a hospital

If the air marshalls had hesitated and the perpetrator had detonated a bomb and killed a bunch of bystanders, they'd be vilified for not protecting the public. This is the job of the news media, to make contraversy no matter what the ethics of it are, or the truth. Of course "truth" is relative according to the "new think."

Hey Man, Nice Shot!!!!

Ahh the news media... rotten vultures all!!

"they'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong.
that's why I say hey man, nice shot
what a good shot man."

News is now saying...TSA was on heightened alert because last week a guy from Egypt who claimed he was a student at Iowa was at LGA and his shoes failed an explosives residue check FIVE TIMES.

And, no...the guy was not detained...AND...the organization of Thousands Standing Around...doesn't know the guy's where abouts.

Sounds like it was the wrong time for Mr. Bi-polar to quit his meds.

They interviewed a passenger this morning who said she was worried because the husband and wife were acting very odd when they boarded. She said a pilot sitting in the cabin pointed to the air marshal and said don't worry he's an air marshal and he's got it all under control.

What the heck is that guy doing pointing out air marshals. so much for cover.
