Lost all respect for Mac.


I'm not a regular viewer and usually see it in reruns, but I've seen it enough to know he's allegedly a straight shooter, almost to a fault. But when he allows a cold blooded murder to not only continue to walk the streets, but to remain on the force? A hypocrite with no ethics. And his rationalization was sooo weak.


This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

A cold blooded murderer? Who, What, Where, Why and When did this happen?

Don is a murderer. In Mac's out of body conversation with Don he told him he's known Don killed some perp in cold blood. I was doing homework and didn't catch it all (A previous episode, I gather. And that's what made the scene where Don captured the girl who shot Mac soo dramatic.). Mac has overlooked it because........the Giants won the Super Bowl.

Flac? you must have heard wrong, it happens to the best of us

Are you talking about Flack? If so, when did Mac find out he killed the guy in cold blood? He wasn't even there when it happened. No one was. Danny got there right after it happened, but no one saw him shoot the guy. They only heard it.

All other shootings on the show have been done in self-defense.

Ah, so, like Aron Hotchner on Criminal Minds, he "knows" but doesn't have the evidence?

I think it was more Flack's conscience speaking to him. Mac was in surgery. He wasn't physically there with Flack. I think Flack wanted to unburden himself, and that's where that originated. I don't think any of them have ever truly speculated on what happened that day. The suspect had a gun. So, it would have been hard to prove Flack did it in cold blood unless Flack himself confessed.

It was in Mac's mind. He was doing a Magnum, visiting all his friends as he lay dying.

Well, the suspect had a gun very close by and I don't think we saw what really happened. Maybe the suspect grabbed it and Don shoots.

The thing is, the guy killed a cop and it would be hard to prove what really happened even though the evidence could show that Don didn't need to shoot him.

reply

We know Flack killed the guy in cold blood, but no one on the team saw it. They are rewriting history a little bit in making Mac sure that's what happened.

reply

I get that to a point, but there is no way for Mac to know what Flack did. The man he killed had a gun. Only Flack and the guy were in the room. I don't buy it.

True.

Flack has always been "by-the-book" and Stella once said he was so by the book that he does not even swear on the job. The others obviously believe the guy reached for the gun and Flack fired in self-defense.

Bad guy cop killer is dead.
The end.

Unless the show was setting it up this season for it to be a very real point between them, as Mac starts getting memory back....I see no use in bringing it up.

Like Hotch killing the unsub: you have an agent killing a very bad murderer. Do I fear Hotch walking free on the street? Of course not, nor do I Flack. Seems like a win to me. I say we ned more of these happy endings...

They suspected, but no one was in the room with him. They guy had a gun. There was no definitive proof he had not pointed it at Flack.
