The Florida "Bomber" shooting? Nasty add'l info.

[thewayne]

More than one passenger say they did not hear the word bomb. And police holding shotguns to other passenger's heads? Weird stuff.

It's possible the link will break, I'll see if I can find something more permanent.

Maybe it's just me, but John McAlhany, the one passenger who claimed that a policeman held a shotgun to his head, just didn't sound credible. Many studies have proven that in a stress situation, eye-witnesses will often misremember significant details, and McAlhany's answers were too definitive. I'm not saying that he's consciously lying, but I wouldn't take what he's saying as the absolute truth.

Also, I have yet to see in any follow-up on this case explain why Rigoberto Alpizar was off his medication. Am I the only person who considers that reason important?

I absolutely agree. It is a critical point that he for whatever reason was off his medication (F*ING STICKYKEYS! WHY WON"T F*ING WINDWS LET ME UNINSTALL THAT F*ING SOFTWARE!)

Time will tell what the investigation uncovers but it won"t be pretty
