First off, I wasn’t there. Secondly, I’m a hard-ass. So…
Rigoberto Alpizar, “uttered threatening words that included a sentence to the effect that he had a bomb,” said James E. Bauer, agent in charge of the Federal Air Marshals field office in Miami. He was confronted by air marshals but ran off the aircraft.
Doyle said the marshals went after him and ordered him to get down on the ground, but he did not comply and was shot when he apparently reached into the bag. [from: Fox New Online]
… I ain’t got any – repeat:”ANY” – sympathy for the dumb bastard. Yeah, I said ‘dumb’. I know he was bi-polar, but the ‘dummy’ wasn’t taking his meds, was he? (According to his widow.) Then, he had the total lack of sense as to say the “B”-word on an airplane. To top it off, he ran, failed to comply, and reached into a bag! He was dead when he hit the ground.
Moron.
Just as well that he was removed from the gene-pool. Who knows… perhaps he’ll be nominated for a 2005 Darwin Award.
And now I hear that this idiot’s family *may* attempt to sue the airline and Homeland Security for his death. Good luck, Dingleberries! You have not got a leg to stand on, and I for one back the Air Marshal completely. THAT is what we train them for, and THAT is what we pay them for – to protect us from terrorist and other nutjobs on airplanes. (By the way, boys: Good Shooting!)
Omar, out!
