MAS 122

[No Idea Either]

Nice work anito4a, and I wasn’t defending him, IMO a .50 cal with a high spec IR scope could have ended this very quickly. Not good for the 330 but it’s all about saving the lives of the victims. I thought the law enforcement mantra was to eliminate the ‘active’ threat now days. Apart from the odd ‘slow response’ to school shootings in the US, most are now charging in and shooting the active threat. Bit callous I know, but it’s about the victims possible outcome, not the offender. As for the positioning of the aircraft, I would have thought that a position where law enforcement and fire authorities could approach from any angle would be better.

It's a little hard to charge into an aircraft. There's limited ingress, extremely restricted movement inside, and a lot of people who look like the guy you're after standing in basically the same path between you and whoever you're looking for because there's nowhere else to stand. Besides, this guy wasn't violent. Sure he'd made some veiled threats, but any pictures/videos I've seen just had him chanting some mantra or sitting talking with FAs. He hadn't shot anyone and thrown their body down the stairs. Or even brandished a weapon of any sort that I'm aware of. Ultimately the most he's done is inconvenience a lot of people. Pretty sure that's not a capital crime. If it was, I'd be pretty happy to point out a few deserving souls on the M1 weekdays.
