Passengers Didn't Hear Alpizar Say 'Bomb'
So we have this issue. We find that Mr. Alpizar and his wife were in Columbia on a Christian Missionary trip. We also find that the man had severe mental illness. This brings us many more questions.
If Mr. Alpizar had been of almost any other religious persuasion than Christian, there would be definite questions regarding whether his religion had any link to his mental illness or his agitated behavior which led to his death. The tenets of the religion would be scrutinized for clues to explain his behavior. For example, if he were a Scientologist, it could be theorized that this could be a reason for him not to have taken his medication.
Since his religion was Christianity, I very much doubt we will see any references to biblical passages or other Christian teachings as a cause for his behavior. Is that "fair?" Is it appropriate to scrutinize a person's religious beliefs, regardless of whether it is a "popular" religion when the person commits dangerous acts? Is it ever appropriate to do so? Let's see those comments :-)
