I should have known people would jump on what I said no matter what I said. I deliberately chose the word โmisunderstandingโ rather than a mistake, because it sounds like what the air marshalls did was correct given the circumstances. And when I said I feel terrible for everyone involved, that includes the marshalls as well. Iโm sure they feel that this was a misunderstanding of some sort and regret having killed the guy. That necessarily doesnโt mean they โ or I โ think they were wrong for reacting the way they did. Thereโs plenty of time for opining on all this and Iโm sure this will be investigated thoroughly. All I was looking to do is offer some sympathy.
