Shots fired by Sky Marshal on Flt 924 MIA-MCO prior to departure
- Thread starter FWAAA
- Start date
1. Person was "off his meds", was bi-polar.
2. Person was reportedly talking about a "bomb" in his bag.
3. Person did not follow instructions of law enforcement officer.
4. Person was reaching into said bag.
5. Person was deemed a threat and dealt with accordingly.
Prayers for everyone involved, but this sounds strangely familiar.
IMHO, the marshalls did their job.

Against who? AA? Don't see that one going anywhere. AA didn't shoot him. Evil as AA is, the marshal killed the perp.
Against the DHS? Against the marshal? Don't see any likelihood of success there either.

Old friend,
"I can't fly with you on this one"
If it turns out to be a harmless threat, than It's a tragedy because a life was lost.
But given everything that AA and UA has suffered thru(9/11),
The risk is too HIGH.
A lot of US here, have praised EL-AL to the hilt, over their security.
Well this is EXACTLY whats the Israeli's(SP?) would have done !!!!!!!!!!!

All is mentioned is the word "lawsuit."
You all know as well as I do that the family probably has already retained legal counsel.
Do I see any merit in any lawsuit?
UNEQUIVOCALLY, NO WAY!
But in a world of frivolous lawsuits against corporations who made the coffee too hot, and, in this case, the United Syates Government, there most likely will be litigation.
Even if it takes the family no where.

Hey hopeful, Your "waffles" are ready..... 😛
Maybe, but then again ask yourself if EL AL would have even let this guy near an airplane given their profiling procedures.
Just a thought.

Crazy nut says he has a bomb. Crazy nut gets shot dead. Idiot got what he deserved. I get so tired of hearing "He was bipolar","He didn't take his medicine",or "They didn't have to shoot him",etc. Good job by the Air Marshalls!
