This man might just have snapped over some petty problems he was having at home. That's why domestic violence cases are so scary for cops to get involved. I will be interested in seeing what this man's private life was like. Could also be some kind of work dispute gone extremely bad.
I am set to fly in a few weeks and this is not stopping me from planning on going. I have not flown since 2001 when I went to UTEP on a job interview. They had armed guards at the Dallas, El Paso and Tampa airports. UTEP paid for the plane trip so they had me on some short detours.
