You thought YOU had a bad day...

Poor Abdul Farouk. First, he has no friends. Then, he decides to join the Jihad. Then, things REALLY go bad.
1. He gets sent to Detroit. Ugh.
2. His bomb fails, he ends up with a charred wiener.
(So much for the 72 virgins...)
3. He survives and has to actually LAND in Detroit.
4. He now becomes world famous .......... as the underpants bomber.
Things can't get any worse.
Actually, they can.
He's got to explain the charred wiener to the boys in the prison shower. Ouch.
Makes your day seem better, doesn't it?

Not one bit of sympathy from this ol' boy.

Serious question:

If someone on the plane had shot and killed him (the underwear bomber), would that be justifiable self defense?

DAMN RIGHT!

I wonder - if there are any attorneys on here (or legally knowledgeable)... assuming you are illegal carrying on a plane, but you do it anyway (assuming you could), and someone went to set off a bomb and you shot and killed him, would you have a justifiable self defense claim, but get time anyway for the carry violation? How would this work?

What if you killed him with some other means - like a pencil through his eye, or crushing his skull with your laptop, etc.... ???

How would the law treat you?

well I know here in alabama that the deadly force laws state that if you are in violation of the law at the time of deadly force legal exemption is waived

I don't see how you could even get a large nail clipper onto an airplane, much less an illegal gun.

You could tie him up in an airplane blanket and smother him with an airline pillow. Or clang him over the head with the airplane fire extinguisher.

First good laugh all day.

The basics!!

Firmly grip your Bic plastic stic pen in your strong-hand fist. With your thumb over the flat end of the pen (remove the plastic cover/cap) and the writing point extended beyond the meaty part of your fist, stab the POS repeatedly in the chest area over the heart. Any struggle will quickly end.

Because of your heroic action, ball point pens will be banned from aircraft. Millions of business people will no longer be able to work on the plane!!!!
