How It's Done

I'm hearing news updates on the radio reporting that this idiot is now an ex-idiot.

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Federal air marshals shot and wounded a man on a boarding bridge at Miami International Airport after he said he had a bomb, federal officials told CNN.


Based on what I've heard, it would appear to be a textbook takedown. Get ready now for the interviews from the family of the deceased describing what a nice, young man he was. Or how he had recently stopped taking his medication, or that he was acting out of desperation brought on by the racist economic policies of the Bush/Rove cabal, or ________ [insert sob story of your choosing here].

I'm telling you, the entertainment portion of this story has just begun.

UPDATE: Apparently, the ex-idiot in question was a 44-year-old American citizen - emphasis on "was".
