Isn't this kinda the same, but to a larger degree? That is what I am getting out of the topic so far. If I am wrong, point me in the right direction to see another point of view.

Let's not forget about the innocent people on the bus who were killed while the would-be hero was grandstanding.
A bit of an apples and oranges analogy, especially considering the would-be terrorist claimed he didn't have a bomb.
The would be terrorst claims he doesn't have a bomb, the bus driver searched him and couldn't find one, so the hero decides to kick his ass anyway, but unfortunately half the people on the bus get killed in the process?
