Man Says He Has A Bomb... Air Marshalls Kill Him

What did he think was going to happen, with a name like 'Rigoberto'? His mother signed his death warrant on his birth certificate.

..and it's because he's from Wisconsin.

At least now the terrorists know we mean business

an explosives team blew the bag open by firing a bottle full of water at it. The water is used to effectively defuse any explosive device by separating its components.

That's actually pretty cool.

vasudeva> i can't really come up with any reason to sympathize vasudeva> i guess i'm not cheering his death, but he should have meeping expected to get shot vasudeva> and thus i feel no great wrong has been committed vasudeva> i'm assuming the reports are true insofar as 1) he said he had a bomb, 2) he refused to comply with the search for a bomb, and either 3) got aggressive with the dudes or 4) ran off (reports seem to say both 3 & 4) vasudeva> any three of those are clearly stupid vasudeva> deserving death? probably not. vasudeva> gonna get you killed? probably. therefore? don't.

:D I HAVE BOMB : STOP HASSLING ME.

:o STOP.

:O STOP YOUR meep, SIR. |:< ALLOW THE BULLETS TO CARESS YOUR TISSUE.

^haha. now if that fuker leaves i'll cry.

:)

also note I thinks the fuker was nuts.

yay! another retard killed! go texas!

er. wait. Floridia! yay!

Can I have his frequent flyer miles?

aah that's what was strange. i read that there were explosions on the tarmac even though they didn't find any bombs. didn't know the bomb squad detonated them.

I think back to the poor innocent sap who was shot and killed by london cops recently- their story was an absolute piece of bullmeep, the truth came out some weeks later...I would not believe all the 'facts' as they stand at present...

yeah... um, I'd have to say he got rightfully pwn3d

The London thing was different (as far as we know), and a miscarriage of police-state justice as I see it. That guy was guilty of 'looking like a terrorist.' He didn't tell anyone he had a bomb. He just panicked when some plainclothes dudes got all aggressive on him.

Funny how we haven't heard much about it since.

Imagine a situation where police have a criminal cornered and he says 'I have a gun'. The cops draw their guns. The criminal then proceeds to reach for his coat pocket.

What happens? THE DUDE GETS HIS WIG SPLIT, YO!

So compare it to this airport situation. Guy says he has a bomb with guns pointed at him. He then proceeds to reach for the bag (perhaps to push the big red meepon inside?).

What happens? THE DUDE GETS POPPED!

^ Justice was served. He was clearly mentally ill, which is highly hereditary. I for one thank the Airport cops for removing him from the gene pool

Sounds like a suicide to me, maybe triggered by the man's lack of meds. He had a moment of lucidity where he could see how wretched his life really was, saw an oppotunity and went for it.

I read somewhere else that they thought they heard the man say something that sounded like bomb and he was sticking his hand in his bag. The meep sounds fishy to me. I mean yea the guy was bipolar and probably was reaching for his meds in his bag on the way out. This is all we need is a bunch of trigger happy air marshals flying around ready to shoot anyone and getting away with it.

In all reports I have read, no civilian passenger has confirmed he claimed to have a bomb.

Yeah, the official version has also backed off of the 'running up and down the aisles screaming 'I've got a BOMB'' version, too. Now after exiting the plane he said a bunch of things, one of which implied he had a bomb.

Inadvertently scoring for the opposition, though, the wife apparently claims that she was screaming that he did not have a bomb; which of course makes one wonder why she would be saying such a thing if her husbands behaviour and/or words were not indicative of a upset bomb-wielding crazy person.

What he should of said was that he had a bombz0r. The air marshall would of just lol'd.

When the dude with the gun says stop, better listen. What the meep, he said he had a bomb, jesus meeping christ, what was he thinking, that he would be shocking people, well he did....the dude with the gun!

When you do that on an airplane with 300 other souls, what the meep is a marshall supposed to do. That guy stood up and defended as he was trained. I am glad they are there. Sorry the guy was a wack job, but you just should not be able to do that meep without fear of reprisal.

What if the guy couldn't hear the order to stop?This is not judge dredd though- he was not armed or carrying anything. He got through the airport without any prob- ( i don't know how easy that would be with any explosives) and then freaked out for some reason- ( could be a warning to all swarmers to lay off the acid before flying) I don't think there has been a case yet where any suicide bomber has a mental breakdown before pulling the pin, it would seem from what I have read that they make no fuss at all. What was he actually guilty of? Essentailly he would have been charged with affray and being a nut, if he would have been subdued with tasar. Not one of the brave guards with guns who were probably close enough to him to get blown up anyway tried to take him out- First and only choice was lethal force. Before 9/11, he would have run out on the tarmac, ran out of breath and anger and been arrested by security. I'm just saying that it is pretty rough 'justice'.

The A.M. is covering his meep and saying that he heard the word bomb. A good cop or marshal or what have you would have assesed the situation to the point where the man was not killed. Why not just plant a bomb in his bag while your at it. I have been in those tunnels and with the wind machines going it can be hard to hear. I think these marshals sfould be investigated so that this does not get out of hand in the future.

Mr. Alpizar and all of his carry on baggage were screened before flight out of South America. Mr. Alpizar as well as all of his carry on baggage was then screened again through US Customs after landing in Miami before reboarding for their flight home to Orlando. Given that the deceased and his carry on back pack been through at least three airport screenings by the time he was running through the Miami International Airport jet way you would think that someone would have the forethought to think there could really be not meeping way ...before shooting to kill, after a stressed out passenger panics for a smoke break. Shoot first ask questions later! It is also icing on the cake that no one near Mr. Alpizar heard him utter the words BOMB.

I'm inclined to be a bit cynical as well, but the emerging official story, as I understand it, was that Alpizar and the marshals were outside the plane when the verbal exchange took place -- well outside earshot of the passengers. So, essentially, there are no witnesses except for the gunmen.

I think a gun gives someone the defacto 'right of way'. If someone with a gun tells me to do anything, especially if its as simple as 'stop', then I'd do it. meep my civil rights I don wanna die for some misunderstanding and cause I felt that I had the 'right' to dance a jig when someone pointed a gun at me. If you even whisper the word bomb in Schipole Airport in Holland, the people with guns there have fully automatic machine guns, they will first throw you to the ground and then proceed to ask questions after the area is secured. I know cause I dared my friend Matt ro just drop his backpack/carryon and start running. Those guys just meeping gang takled him from out of no where. And holland the home of Amsterdam!!! They got freedoms that we can't even meeping imagin!!! Just goes to show, Safety for the many is more important than 'civil rights' for the few.

BTW: Man Says He Has A Bomb = Air Marshalls Kill Him
FIXT!!!

^ Maybe for a reasonable person, but dude was a little insane in the membrane. ^

HE DIDNT SAY HE HAD A BOMB...ITS A LIE!
