Federal air marshals were a little too quick on the draw

When they shot and killed Rigoberto Alpizar in a Miami airport as he attempted to flee the airplane before takeoff. Air marshalls state that Apizar claimed he had a bomb as he ran up and down the aisle, but no eyewitnesses on the plane can collaborate.

This over-reaction by authorities seems to shaking out to be just like the Jean Charles de Menezes killing in London this past summer.

More frightening is the public's acceptance of such overhanded brutish tactics that erase freedom that supposedly is being fought for.

Once again, let's wait for the dust to settle, Naum. Time, or CNN are just as likely to have this story wrong, like so many other stories over the last few years.
