Sounds like a righteous shooting to me.
However, I bet the dead clown’s family is already prepping the lawsuit. “...he was bipolar. He didn’t have his meds, etc”
I guess that this is another drug related death? What do you do? Make bi-polar people wear pink t-shirts so they don’t get shot?
Damn!! Being right as often as I am is a very heavy burden.
I feel bad for the air marshalls, the guy and his wife, but given what is known at this time, his fate was sealed when he claimed to have a bomb and started reaching in his backpack. Should have taken those meds.
Speaking of asshats who will sue:
There was an article on philly.com today about teens in Philadelphia robbing people with bb-gun pistols that are knock-offs of popular 9mm pistols. Who has a guess as to how long it’ll be before one of these idiodic teens gets ventilated by the wrong victim? I predict two weeks tops. Anyone want to wager that the parents won’t sue?
The Crap News Network headline: Luggage Explodes After Air Marshal Guns Down Passenger. Guns Down!?!?! WTF? It wasn’t like the guy was just sitting there and lit up a cigar.
Take those prescribed psychotropic meds folks—armed law enforcement officials are lousy at making field diagnoses.
