(4,575 posts)there were hostages in a synagogue. It could be a mental health incident for all we know.
In the sheriff's presser he said the perp was dead, thanked Jesus and left.
I prefer justice to be meted out by a judge and/or jury.

(6,011 posts)We don't know what killed him. Gun fire, no doubt, but he may have raised a weapon at the
team that went in. Certain death. Deserved death.
I would like to see all of these terrorists taken into custody and eventually imprisoned for life.
I'm also not willing to let them kill those trying to save the hostages.
It's an ugly World, and sometimes those who create the ugliness just need to be deleted using any means necessary.

(4,575 posts)You think people with mental health issues should be "deleted." Got it.
The hostages were unharmed but there was a whole battalion down there in their suburban war cosplay because you know Texas, the guy mentioned a terrorist and fish gotta swim. Again, got it.
I can't really engage with you any further except to say all the best to you and I hope no one ever decides it is you that should be deleted.

(6,011 posts)I don't really give a fuck if you engage with me, or not.
If they went in, and he raised a weapon, or fired that weapon, what were they supposed to do?
Talk nice to him? Do you know if he had a weapon to the head of a hostage when the extraction team came in?
I truly doubt that his killing wasn't necessary.
Frankly, I have a big problem with support for the terrorist.

(43,107 posts)'Lady Al Qaeda' the woman Texas synagogue hostage-taker wanted freed: She planned chemical attacks on Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge and demanded juror at her trial be DNA tested to see if they were Jewish
The hostage suspect wanted Aafia Siddiqui, a known terrorist who is incarcerated at Carswell Air Force Base near Fort Worth, freed
Siddiqui was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 by forces who found her with cyanide and plans to attack the Brooklyn Bridge and Empire State Building
The Al Qaeda operative dubbed Lady Al Qaeda bragged to her student friends at the age of just 21 that she would be proud to be on the FBIs Most Wanted list
Siddiqui, who was a biology major at MIT, said in 1993 she wanted to do something to help our Muslim brothers and sisters even if it was illegal
The unknown assailant took the hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville during religious services around 11.30am
Before the livestream cut off, the unknown assailant can be heard saying, 'I'm going to die. Don't cry about me'

(6,011 posts)unhappy that hundreds more weren't taken out on 1-6-2021.

(4,575 posts)Maybe I missed it but I don't think any of the insurrectionists died on 1/6?
Is blood lust a progressive value now?
Progressive Jones
(6,011 posts)If the exraction team came in, and this a-hole raised his weapon, would you like them to stand there and be shot?
Regarding Jan 6th, I'm very disappointed that only one of those assholes was taken out.
It's not about blood lust. It's about removing a threat to life and limb.
Being politically Progressive does not mean "Thou shalt not defend thyself".
We can't lower it to the level of a religious cult.

(1,327 posts)One was shot, the rest were crushed to death. Only one cop died at the scene, but the coroner declared his death natural causes.
