> [@HotRodKid](#): > > probably clothes > > if he was mental like they say he was, he was probably thinking that screaming “bomb” would accomplish something They never really clarify if he was mentally ill or if he was really a threat. I guess we can read that as meaning he was mentally ill. If he had a bomb, it would have said, “Terrorist Shot by Air Marshal” So I revise my original post. Not Good. Lesson learned. Don’t fuck around with an air marshal. ---

Mentally ill or not…actual bomb or not…doesn’t matter to me. You yell that you have a bomb, then reach into your duffle bag, I’m glad you get shot. ---

The thing though that arises it… Reported 6-7 shots fired into him… Why shoot to kill? When you could put him down and then deal with it? ---
