Listen to the ATC recording. It is obvious the guy was not an (intentional) threat and was apparently not near populated areas. I actually found the ATC recording to be quite moving and very sad. It's frustrating to read comments here assuming he was not shot down because everyone involved was just gullible. People entrusted to make good decisions did just that.
