It's extremely unfortunate that people who are helplessly in the throes of an episode of mental illness can suffer such a fate. Of course, one might also ask why the man's wife did not call the police or a mental health counselor if she KNEW that he was in no condition to go out in public, having refused to take his meds. Something really strange has taken place in this country, now everybody is a victim and nobody is responsible if their own actions put them in the wrong place at the wrong time. You walk in front of a bus, you get killed. End of story. But nowdays, everybody is wailing about how "it shouldn't have happened" or "the police reacted inappropriately" while the poor enforcement guys who are frequently attacked for not having done ENOUGH (think Columbine) have to take all the consequences. I say this is bullshit! "Americans" wanted armed air marshalls on all the planes, they wanted to give pilots guns so they could defend the front cabin. Well, they got what they asked for. Did people think that only bearded, wild-eyed Muslim clerics would be shot in the aisles?
