Maybe they'll send the bill to his estate. I would.

How does a witness know that he's 44, bi-polar, and hasn't taken his medications? Does this witness also know if he prefers boxers or briefs?

Witnesses said that his wife was yelling that he was bi-polar and hadn't taken his medication. Oh well............

Tough $hit (not directed at you Grunt), than she should've stopped him from making bomb threats. That is something you just DON'T do!!!!!

I agree! If this was actually the case, taking the medications was his problem, not anyone elses.

The whole thing is daunting. While I firmly stand by our Federal Air Marshalls, it is sad too at the same time. A very sad story indeed, but they must protect us therefore they did a great job!

And now the tsa wants us to take scissors on board, how sad.

The coverage and 'second guessing' on the news this morning is making me sick. People need to take responsiblity for their actions and OBEY law enforcement orders and DON'T say you have a "BOMB" on or around airplanes.

The Air Marshalls were correct in their actions 100%.

DEAL WITH IT.

you fly Convairs for a living, isn't that scum bag comment a little bit like the pot calling the kettle black?

Jesus loves you, but the rest of us think you are an asshole.

Cops are the cannon fodder of society, thankfully this Christmas we won't have to sit there with a bottle of booze playing russian roulette with a USP or SIG, because we got somebody else to do our dirty work for us.

Merry Christmas federal govt workers! You might have not been able to stop the WTC attacks, the bombing of the WTC, or the Bombing of the Federal Building in OK city...but at least you were able to shoot that pregnant lady dead on Ruby Ridge and this retard on the AA flight yesterday. I'm feeling safer already...

FN FAL, you off your meds old buddy?

 

[Skualo3]

Let me see if I am getting your point, anybody that allegedly says bomb in a plane deserves to be shot....
Have you seen Meet the Parents?
I don`t know what happened, I would be just careful in passing judgments on weather a person deserves to be shot for saying Bomb in an Airport.

Wow, there's a couple of real winners on this thread. This whole incident is sad, tragic. I'm not second guessing the FAM's actions in the least little bit. From what I understand he didn't have much choice, the guy was claiming to have a bomb and reaching into his bag, so that's how it played out. No complaints at all from me ...but it is tragic, not somethin to cheer about. It's tragic that a unarmed, mentally disturbed guy got shot, it's tragic for his wife who watched, It's tragic for the FAM that pulled the trigger, and will probably be wondering for the rest of his life if he should have done something differently.

You who are whooping and cheering about "one less scumbag" as if this was somehow a great victory are just pathetic losers.

Thank you.

Oh that's right, Randy Weaver's wife wasn't pregnant. Thanks for the reminder.

And had the FAM's not taken him down, and he really did have a bomb, and ran into the concourse and set it off, then all the monday morning quarterbacks would be blaming the FAM's for letting it happen. As far as his wife running behind him screaming "he's sick", wouldn't that be about the perfect cover for someone trying to cause harm? I'm sorry that the guy goy killed, but he stated that he had a bomb, he didn't listen to or obey directions from law enforcement, and then he reached into the bag where the alleged bomb would have been. I think that the FAMS made the correct call, but unfortunatly they will have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives.
