That Miami airport incident

So everyone's heard about the bi-polar guy who got shot at Miami International Airport yesterday, right?

Collosus of Rhodey, guest-blogging at LaShawn Barber's corner has predictions on what will happen next.
The family of the man will sue the air mashall(s), the airport, the airline and/or the US government for “excessive force” and “negligence,” claiming that the marshalls acted too hastily with deadly force, and that they didn’t make sure the man actually had a bomb. The airport and airline are “responsible” for “allowing” the man to get free from the marshalls.

Ramsey Clark will represent the man’s family in a civil suit against the US government, claiming the man was driven to hysteria because of President Bush’s policy in Iraq.

Howard Dean will call on Congress to investigate the incident based on Clark’s “case;” congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will demand intel from the White House on the growing phenomenon known as “Iraq Pseudo-Airport Bombing Syndrome.”

Charles Rangel and other Congressional Black Caucus members will decry how minorities are “disproportionately affected” by “Iraq Pseudo-Airport Bombing Syndrome,” now known as IPABS.

Congressman John Murtha will claim that the current crop of air marshalls in the United States “is broken” and “worn out,” and will call for an immediate redeployment of all air marshalls.

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry will claim that “there’s no reason for air marshalls … to be terrorizing passengers … terrorizing kids and women, breaking sort of the customs of … proper air travel.”
Yep, and if you click the link (which I highly recommend you do) and read on, some of the predictions are happening. Suprise, surprise, eh?

Stop the ACLU has more:
Another mistake, but who can blame the Marshall for his response? I think he did exactly the right thing, and it makes me feel safer that we have such rapid responders. I wonder if the lefties will try to make a bad guy out of this man? Any one else feel an ACLU lawsuit coming on?
*sigh*
