You couldn't begin to compare this situation with say, Kent State, for

I'm betting that by tomorrow, it will be a racial incident and that
the Reverend Jackson will be right in the middle of it.
Interesting though that it's the second Brazilian shot dead in the
past six months or so for refusing to respond to police commands.
Anyway, there were more witness reports of the guy talking about bomb
that the two who said they never heard it, so it probably was a good
shoot. Those guys have a tough job - I hope the Marshall can handle
it without falling apart.
The fellow who was shot was a US citizen, and I believe he was a native
of Costa Rica.
Hmmm - report I saw said Brazil. Hey, critical incidents create a lot
of fog and false impressions - the guys main mistake was not stopping
when he was told to.
Yeah, well, if he were suffering from a serious mental illness, he might
not have heard the commands or he might have thought they were coming from
spiders, or, well, who knows, eh?
But the bottom line is that he did not stop. How were the marshal's to know
he was bipolar? Bang-bang.
