The passenger was handcuffed. Led by two armed escorts from the Fairfax County PD, I asked what he’d done. ‘Parole violation and he fled Virginia and we caught him in South Carolina… He’s non-violent added the officer.’ Uh huh. Isn’t this the line that the father of the Nebraska mailbox pipe bomber fed the media, today? ‘He’s not dangerous?’ The prisoner walked down the airstairs and glanced at me grinning. Still bound at the wrists he flashed a thumbs up. Looked harmless. Take him away!
Refer to data entry 5/04/02. Would an axe handle stop this guy if he got loose?!!!
ya know… I watched a short on history channel about knives — watched an expert wield a blade and I gotta tell ya it’s fearsome. Not the hollywood punk that takes a slash and only gets air full.
about the father’s comment that he’s not dangerous. In all fairnes the media made it sound like the quote was made after the arrest when in fact it was made before. Big dif. He was trying to keep the feds from ending the pursuit with a sniper rifle.
