Port Authority explosion reports prompt police response in New York City

Completely unacceptable language.

Hhhrm? You lost me.

He is how that can be done and said with out raising an eyebrow.
He was still moving and I felt he was was a threat and I felt threatened for myself and others life’s. I witnessed that he was reaching for a Weapon or a detonator. I fired a controlled pair and kept firing till I believed the threat to be neutralized.

Ideally, it would include a reference to modern training regarding injured suicide bombers that dictates you shoot until they stop moving.

I guess you're right. Aiming for the head shouldn't be strictly required.

 

[Sylvain]

Yeah, but it was announced like they made some heroic charge and tackled him

I don't know what happened but it could be considered heroic since the guy might not have been unconscious and wearing a second bomb.

Or a second suspect could have been present as well.

It's basically continuing to pull the trigger, a mag dump if you will, while shouting "STOP RESISTING!!!".

I agree...thankfully weak pipe bomb.

Hope the bomb going off changed his religion.

In the 1980’s we use to scream “two to the chest one to the head” during close quarters drills.
I don’t think that would acceptable now?

I don't think anyone has a problem with yelling.

I'd just be happy if it takes him out of the gene pool by explosive sterilization

The guy is lucky he didn't draw that cop out in Arizona, he would have shot him for not following directions.

You're speaking of a BUB, which is a good question, are those carried? Is there a forum out there and people are asking other people what kind of BUB they carry?
It's too bad these people can't get a different hobby, like making bead jewelry or flower arrangements.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Yeah, but it was announced like they made some heroic charge and tackled him

It takes either balls, or ignorance of the danger, to approach a downed suicide bomber. Secondary charges are a thing.

Probably.

Port Authority bomb suspect told investigators he intentionally detonated the device in that passageway because he noticed a holiday picture in the corridor, claims he intended suicide attack

Well he wouldn't want to have others think that he screwed it up, but there's no way he did that intentionally at that very spot since there wasn't many people there.

This guy is sounding less jihadi and more crayzihi.

And yeah, there is a difference.

By the standards of most of us here, anyone that wants to strap on a suicide vest and blow people up are all crazy.

Perhaps this is appropriate to a different thread, but I suspect I could convince many people otherwise.

 

[HoughMade]

There's jihadi....crazy....and crazy jihadi. I await further information.

 

[ghuns]

...I await further information...

Not even 12 hours in and we have more info than we do on the Vegas chootin.
