That doesn't give anyone a pass to try and open it.
No, but it does mean that calling it attempted murder is a bit strong. They were trying to do something that's physically impossible for them to do. It'd be like calling it attempted murder if I went up to someone and tried to use my psychic powers to explode their heart.
It's an attempt to harm, and you will be prosecuted for it.
A federal grand jury returned an indictment today charging an alleged unruly passenger onboard an American Airlines flight after engaging in disruptive and life-threatening behavior, including attempting to open the aircraft exterior doors mid-flight.
I am specifically addressing the comment:
It is not attempted murder. The case you link to backs me up:
Why no attempted murder charge, if it's attempted murder?
Ok well, im not going to argue over nonsense with you.
Because you don't have an argument.
Well that's true, I'm not arguing anything. I don't know why you think I am.
Intent is the key, if the person had a gun they thought was loaded but actually wasn't, wouldn't it still be attempted murder if they put it to your head and pulled the trigger? Same thing with the door, they thought it would open.
So if I genuinely believe I can use my psychic powers to explode peoples' hearts, I should be up on attempted murder charges whenever I glare at someone with intent to kill?
Given that in a basically identical case someone linked to elsewhere in this thread no murder-related charges were filed for trying to open an airplane door like this, I suspect that wouldn't be the outcome here either.
Did you not read the article and read about the assault against the flight attendant?
Did you not read the comments I was responding to? They were specifically about opening the door.
Maybe try to reason about why an insane person might do that instead of assuming that everybody is evil?
Feel free to reason it out with someone on your next flight as they do everything described in the article. Have fun.
Hey perhaps you should get YOUR head checked... and hope that nobody is like you when you need some sympathy yourself to get through the day.
Seriously? This is what you do, come back to week old conversations to talk shit?
How pathetic can you be.
Learn how to move on.
I am not chronically online like the rest of the chucklefucks here. I come back when i feel like it.
