For the GDers opining on the Air Marshal shooting -

[BigMcLargehuge]

Mayor: Now Drebin, I don't want any trouble like you had on the South Side like last year, that's my policy.

Frank: Well, when I see five weirdos dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in front of a full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards, that's my policy.

Mayor: That was a Shakesphere In The Park Production of Julius Caesar, you moron! You killed five actors! Good ones!

5. I'm with you!!

Had they not done anything and this was "for real", then they would have been in some serious trouble! It was an unfortunate incident!!

6. hey Shell!! hearing you too, i'm personally into non-lethals...

some net maybe, or sticky-gooey tar thing or other; but had he had a bomb? the discussion would be utterly different and without nuance today and yes...i understand the highly disruptive components of 'non-lethals', even they are not to be deployed lightly for that matter:

7. There is almost no way to win!

The non-lethals seem pretty scary, but I guess it is better than death!! It's a screwed up situation. I wish we didn't even have to deal with this type of stuff. Oh, in a perfect world.... :sigh:

8. agreed...
