You guys really don't understand that commentary on facts doesn't imply support or opposition to those facts, do you?

It's a constant pattern and a demonstration of idiocy

Dying empire is a fact demonstrated by crashing small plane? Do tell!

Totally appropriate response to an unidentified aircraft and possible threat. BTW, most people think of Cessnas as small private prop planes. This is the type of Cessna that crashed:

Overreaction

An overreaction comes from incompetence

Incompetence running rampant through government is a feature of dying empires

That's the simple answer. Dying empires are also keen to flex their muscles and are characterized by wasteful military actions

It's all very simple

Oversimplification is also a tell.

Overreaction could also come from lack of available information, lack of adequate time to analyze a situation or several other factors.

Some would suggest your response here is an overreaction.

Imagine thinking you had some kind of point.

Shoot people over $40! Theft is violence! Overreaction is due to incompetence!

maybe you’re on to something.

I watched that earlier today- didn’t know that the no fly zone around the capitol only extended to like 18,000’…

The real danger would be that Cessna Citation coming in at 500 feet or rooftop level not 35,000 feet.

I’m pretty sure the pilot didn’t fly the plane into the ground on purpose to kill all aboard.

Hey Hal, do you have a political point to make here?

He probably thought it was a right wing insurrectionist buzzing the capital with a Cessna 150.

I'm fascinated with aviation. Binge watch and read a lot of aviation stuff. This was a very good documentary I watched a couple of weeks ago regarding what is probably a very similar incident.
