what do you think of that guy getting shot ?


Recommended Posts

That guy that flipped out and started running through the plane and claiming that he had a bomb. I guess he didn't have his medicine. Then his wife ran after him but the US Marshals shot him. All I can think is that the guy was a freaking moron for doing that. I've heard the story told so many ways that I still have no idea what actually happened. What kind of person runs on a 747, though ?

I feel for the guy's family, but seriously, if the Marshall had hesitated in firing his weapon and the guy really DID have a bomb and was going for it...<shudder>The Marshall acted exactly as he should have in that situation, there's really no wiggle room in a split-second situation like that. What was he going to do? The Marshall ordered the guy to drop his bag, the guy refused and then reached his hand into it. If he hadn't taken the shot then the media and everyone else would be asking "How could you NOT take that shot in that situation? Why would you act against your training? What if you were wrong?"What happened is exactly what should have happened, take your meds before you get on a plane kiddies...

The Marshall had to perform his job. He had to protect the passengers on the plane, the airport workers and the airport itself. It is tragic, but he had no choice. As someone else said, what if the guy really had a bomb and he was not stopped...it would have been devastating.

Why not just shoot him in the leg?
The big reason would be becuase if he actual had a bomb and was going for it, shooting him in the leg wouldn't do to much.I mean sure he would fall, but then with his arms and hands go for the bomb and blow up the plane.

No you're wrong. Shooting him in the leg would make him think twice about even touching that bomb.sw

This whole situation honestly works out perfect. This idiot is the perfect example for the next idiot who tries to pull some terrorist B.S. on a plane.

I agree that he should have been shot, although NOT mortally wounded. Also, if he would have had a bomb, what would have happened if the bomb was on him when he was shot? I think it was both good and bad. I wonder if his wife can file a wrongful death lawsuit legally, or if the ari marshall was 100% in the right.

If the idiot is screaming that he has a bomb in his bag and is reaching into the bag what options does the air marshall have? Shoot to kill. You can't wait to see if he actually has anything, by then it's too late and the entire plane is blown apart. Now the same people who say he shouldn't have been killed would be saying the air marshall should have killed him.

Too hard. At that point, the Marshal's only job is to decommission the threat. It's an absolute tragedy, and it's a devastating course of events, but he saw a threat and pulled the trigger.I admire the Marshal's courage, to be honest. I know I'd have a pretty rough time taking that shot.Ugh...Ice

Had he only wounded him the threat will still be active (ie. he could still detonate a bomb). It is a tragedy. I'm sure his family will sue everyone and their brother for this. Bottom line is that the Marshall ended a potentially devistating incident.

This would be very difficult to do and still incapacitate him. No I think if the lives of all those on the plane is in your hands, you shoot, and shoot to kill. It's a tragedy for certain, but I think the marshall was in the right.--RuffRidr

The family has said nothing of wrongful death and fully understood the events that took place. They are all in shock, but no one can blame the air marshall for what he did. For anyone to think that this was, in any way, shape, or form, a wrongful death, is retarded, and that person should be shot and killed too.
