I wrote the below passage to the AJC this morning. Perhaps it's a bit callous, but I also beleive every word.
"If a man is on a plane and says he has a bomb and refuses to stop moving, or put the "bomb" down, then he should be neutralized. I don't care if he's mentally ill, a real terrorist, a celebrity, or a 12 year old. He should be shot and killed just in case he was telling the truth. The bipolar man that died the other day was really murdered by his wife who did not make sure he was on his meds while traveling in public, not by any air marshall. She neglected the safety of her husband and every passenger on the plane. The only victims are the people who had to wait for their plane to edpart while officials cleaned up this irresponsible woman's mess."

absolutely agreed, including everything else you wrote, but i was thinking the same thing at this point: where was his caregiver?
There are some layers to this. People on the plane say that the man, while agitated and running, never said anything about a bomb, though it's possible he did after leaving the plane.
I think his wife was his caregiver.
