"He wasn't saying anything. He was just running." Air Marshalls lie...
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 04:41 AM by blitzen
To cover their ass. And once again, all of us "cynics" who doubted the MSM version from the beginning are proven right.

"I can tell you, he never said a thing in that airplane. He never called out he had a bomb," said Orlando architect Jorge A. Borrelli, who helped comfort Alpizar's wife after the gunfire. "He never said a word from the point he passed me at Row 9. . . . He did not say a word to anybody."

Two teens seated in Row 26 agreed. So did Jorge Figueroa, a power-plant operator from Lakeland seated a few rows behind first class.

"He wasn't saying anything; he was just running," Figueroa said. "I said to myself, 'It is probably a person who took the wrong plane."

2. The marshalls followed him off the plane
So they saw the entire thing unfold, and still concluded the appropriate thing to do was gun the guy down. I am so sick of the callous disregard for human life that we have in this country.

3. ironic isn't it when you think about arms control?
the u.s. -- with the crime rate we have, over anxious law enforcement, preemptively invading third rate countries, etc -- and we want to tell everybody else what kinds of weapons they should have because WE are more responsible?

4. I would be interested in the angle the bullets entered his body.
Front? Back? Powder burns? Was he even up right when shot?

5. If John Gibson were reporting it
it might be something like "6 in the noggin". What a nightmare this life has become.
