Wil's Rant

The uproar has started over the shooting of a passenger by an Air Marshal in the U.S. The guy was reportedly running up the aisle yelling that he had a bomb. Turns out the guy was deranged, and there was no bomb. I don't see how that fact makes any real difference. The Marshal had to act as if the guy was for real, it's his job. What should the Marshal have done, waited for the nut to blow the plane up to decide it was legitimate? He did the right thing! He acted to remove what he could only assume was a real threat. Any other course of action would have been irresponsible given the state of affairs at this time.
