I'm afraid that it won't be long before people start pissing and moaning "because he was mentally ill". They'll probably bitch louldy enough so that all federal air marshalls are thrown in prison. Sorry if I seem a little cynical, but it does seem that the less common sense the left shows, the more likely the government is to respond to it. This certainly seems justified to me.

It was a tragedy, mainly because the guy hadn't taken his medicine and had a psychotic episode on the plane. Did this episode remind anyone of the plumber who was shot in London a few weeks back? From witness accounts this case seems to have been more clearly justified, but I couldn't help but make the association.
