Don't Bring a Knife to a Gunfight - Belize Edition

You could also call this the air travel edition. US man shot dead after hijacking small passenger plane in Belize | Belize | The Guardian

A US man has been shot dead after hijacking a small passenger plane and injuring two passengers in the Caribbean nation of Belize.

Fourteen passengers were onboard the aircraft when the hijacker, identified as Akinyela Sawa Taylor, took control of the flight at knifepoint. Two passengers were injured, including one who was stabbed in the back.

Taylor ordered the pilot to take him out of the country, but was then shot in the chest by another passenger, Belize’s commissioner of police, Chester Williams, told local journalists.

That is some serious "Right to Bear Arms" right there.

Belize is a country in Central America, on the Caribbean Sea. It shares a border with Mexico and Guatemala.

It turns out that Akinyela Sawa Taylor was in the country of Belize illegally. Who knew, that other countries take borders seriously. Actually I knew that about Belize.

To quote Will Smith, from The Men In Black, "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing."
