Applying some 'Nam mantra here re: terrorists- "Kill 'em all, and let: God, Allah, Bhudda, Shinto, Karma- whatever- sort 'em out in the next life"- We have become too soft on terror and evildoers-

A close friend and neighbor owns 120 good acres of good deer hunting land- next to State land- his regular "No Trespassing" signs were sometimes ignored- then we posted some of these- quote: "While you are reading this message, our snipers have you set in their crosshairs- feelin' lucky today?"" End of trespassing situation.

Spoken by Lt Calley?

Francis, I am aware that some people felt that way but I know that the command authorities and the good officers there tried very diligently to prevent that kind of thought from taking hold. That's not the way we did things and not the way the professional military conducted itself and I would not want post Vietnam era readers thinking that was they way good officers and soldiers conducted themselves.

Francis,
Another N/T sign I like and could prove effective "Notice: All Trespassers will be Shot, Survivors will be Hanged".

An interpreter wouldn't have been needed if he could speak English. You live here learn the language!

JOHN, RICH, RICHARD & DAVE, RIGHT ON: WHERE IS CARLOS HATHCOCK AND HIS SPOTTER WHEN WE NEED THEM? "GONE TO FLOWERS EVERYONE". I had lunch today with a close friend of Peter Mason. He could do the job. In my humble opinion these lunatics get too much press. Why would the driver even let someone on his bus with no shirt & fatigues? I'm sure that it was all over the local news in Portsmouth. You never hear what the good guys and gals are doing every day to better this country, you only hear about the nuts. Those wonderful desk pilots are now taking Chelsey Sullenberg to task for all the things that they said he did wrong when landing his plane in the Hudson. The cops in Portsmouth must have done a great job as well in getting all the innocent civilians off the bus without a scratch, but you'll never hear about that on the news.

Just My Humble Ranting & Raving.....George

The whole thing was a stupid misunderstanding.

The guy wouldn't get off the bus because he couldn't understand English and was afraid of all the police activity - didn't even know he was the cause of it.

It took the better part of nine hours to get an interpereter.

I think it will be a huge embarrassment to the FBI, State Police, swat teams etc. and would have been a huge mistake to have just shot the guy....

It wouldn't have taken nine hours to get an interpreter where I live.

You have a lot of people fluent in Swahili or Yoruba around there?

A friend of mine had their 16 year old bi polar son who was in depression cycle and was distraught shot down by sheriff's deputies from 20ft away as he walked toward them with a 2" paring knife, crying, and telling them to just shoot him. Two of them emptied their guns into him, the killing was in accordance with dept policies because he approached them with a "deadly weapon".

Let cooler heads prevail. Put a gun in the hands of some people and they want to use it.

How truly tragic...
