Twas hoping no one noticed that, Ron! I guess it's too late to hide the story about the guy from Maitland who got shot in Miami for claiming to have a bomb, eh?
Maitland is part of the Greater Orlando area and a regular stomping ground of mine. :blink:
And to think people make fun of us Southerners...... :P
It seems to me that the guys did what they were supposed to and should have done. The mental illness community yelling that it's an outrage and that they should have considered his wife's yelling have no idea how unrealistic a request that would be.
I'm sure he wasn't the only one yelling by the time he made it off the plane and that the agents didn't have time and weren't paying attention to anyone else but that guy, as well they shoud be. What if he really did have a bomb and the bomb went off and killed lots of people because they stopped to listen to some lady they didn't know and couldn't prove was his wife? She could have been an accomplice for all they would have known....
Besides that, one more second delay in shooting him after he put his hand into his bag could have meant certain death for so many people.
Of course, I could be biased since I'm intimately familiar with law enforcement and military personnel and how quick their responses have to be despite how wrong it may seem to people after the fact.
And another thing......(edited to add)...what the HE!! were they doing letting his medicine run out for anyway - especially knowing how out of control he can get when he doesn't take his medicine???

I would have to imagine that few Floridians are this stupid.
LOL

What do you think about that, Raf?

excathedra
the rapist's story made me very very sad but glad he left his number so he wouldn't injure/destroy anyone else
as far as "stupid" goes, how crass, but i'm sensitive to these kind of things
the "bomber's" story is tragic beyond words but given the circumstances....
sorry not trying to rain on anyone's parade
