Rebecca 0 #101 December 8, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteIf 9/11 had never happened, there is a good possibility this would have happened anyway. Prior to 9/11, passengers considered to be a threat by the crew, were still greeted by the law when getting off the plane. Pre 9/11, it's likely nobody would have had to die. Blues, Dave And you know this because... A.) You're an air marshall who was only trained to shoot to kill AFTER 9/11 B.) No one bombed or hijacked a plane pre-9/11, so there would not have been a quick and deadly response to this "joke" C.) You're pulling this out of your butt (not trying to offend, but that was a bogus statement) Pre 9/11 there were what, 35 air marshalls in the entire country? Blues, Dave So then, middle part of "B" - there would not have been a quick and deadly response due to the scarcity of air marshals? OK, I see your point, in that the air marshals wouldn't have even been present - I was taking it to mean they wouldn't have shot him dead... And dude who posted just above me - I know it wasn't a joke, hence the little ""'s around the word. I was implying that what Dave meant is that they wouldn't have taken it as seriously pre-9/11. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

miked10270 0 #102 December 8, 2005 QuoteGod-damnit people this wasn't a joke - the guy was fucking bipolar. That may not affect whether or not the air marshal as right to shoot but it certainly affects how much we can hold the deceased at fault for his own actions. Police Assisted Suicide maybe? Mike.

DaVinci 0 #104 December 8, 2005 Quoteyou genuinly believe somebody deserves to die for cracking a joke ? It was not just a joke. After he made the joke, he refused to follow police directions. He acted like he had a bomb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca 0 #106 December 8, 2005 QuoteQuoteare you speaking from experience? have you been a nutter ? just wondering how you know so much Uncool, and uncalled for. Stop being an ass. So, are you just going through and systematically replying to posts as you read them without actually reading the whole thing first? The reason I ask is because these responses have been covered and Michele took care of herself without taking offense... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

DaVinci 0 #107 December 8, 2005 Quote just think it's a damn shame that we are so on edge that we have to immediately shoot people that we perceive as threats because there's a good chance they are an actual threat. You had a guy saying he had a bomb, reaching into a bag, refusing to obey a marshal. If he had done anything differently he would be alive still. He was acting like a threat and he was delt with as a threat. Shame it happend, but he is at fault, not the cop. If I walked into a courtroom and said, "I have a gun". Then ran from the cops while reaching into my pocket. I would expect to get shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #108 December 8, 2005 psssst- if you call him an ass, he'll just whine about how no one understands him and we're all so cliquish and humoUrless. Oddly enough, he'll find 3 or 4 people who actually agree with him and they'll scold all the rest of us on his behalf. Do we NEED all that drama today?

fab777 0 #124 December 8, 2005 "Psychotropic medication just doesn't work like that. Say I forget to take my dose. If I had been taking it regularly, there is enough in my system to keep me balanced until I had a chance to take the next dose. Similarly, if you take a dose, it doesn't mean you'll automatically calm down and be balanced again. It can take weeks to reach the proper level of dosage...weeks. And it can take weeks to have it completely leave your system. It's not like a valium, or other sedative. It just doesn't work that way. " Well... The guy living right below me was suffering from the same disease. Last time he didn't take his meds, he committed BASE jumping from the 5th floor, without a rig ( he should have asked me before, I'd tell him the conditions were less than ideal ) I just heard no pax heard anything about a bomb? That would change the situation... Fabien BASE#944 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
