AVweb’s Question of the Week …
This week, AVweb wants to hear more of your opinions on the shooting of Rigoberto Alpizar by Federal Air Marshals. Plus: Results of our initial poll about the incident.
Last week, just hours after Federal Air Marshals shot and killed an airline passenger, AVweb asked our readers for their opinion on the incident.
67% of you saw the shooting as an example of the system in action - although one with tragic consequences.
The other 33% of our readership thought the death of an innocent man was a clear indicator that the system had failed.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
Follow-up to the American Airlines incident. Initial mainstream media reports generally told one version of events, indicating that 44-year-old Rigoberto Alpizar was threatening to detonate (or at least claiming to have) a bomb. Now, one week later, news media from Yahoo! to TIME magazine to Fox News to CNN have offered briefs more in line with AVweb's original next-day coverage.
Our question to you: If Rigoberto Alpizar never said anything suggesting that he may have had a bomb, would that change your opinion about the event?
