Great. Browser crash, lost post.

Any LEO I've worked with is going to ask a civilian not to open fire in a dark crowded room with smoke and/or tear gas at a shooter wearing clothes making him harder to see, whether or not the crowd has started panicking yet. I'd be surprised if one of their own would be officially sanctioned to do the same. if Colorado law had allowed someone to shoot him before he kicked the door open (someone let him in?) that would have been great. But I've been told Colorado laws pretty much gave him those guns for Christmas, and the parents who took their babies to the movies should know better and it's their fault their kids got hurt.

Lotsa people right on point, as always.

I phrased my news question wrong. Obviously, as I noted, you can go to news.google.com. But I'm asking for an equivalent to [link] or [link] -- a news desk to whom you'd go thinking "I want to see their opinion/coverage on this breaking story. They have good people and give balanced non-hysterical treatment." As a jumping point--I'm not assuming even Rupert Murdoc has succeeded in mapping the needs of his psyche onto every article in a paper.

Unrelatedly, LeN--do you think byword is worth the price is I also have coding needs?

ita, I am very partial to NPR's coverage as well the NYT, though they can be less timely.

What's a LEO?

Law Enforcement Officer, Amy.

Ah! I'm a little ashamed I couldn't figure that out.

Also, police were at the scene within two minutes.

I learned it from NCIS!

NPR--of course, of course.

Ginger, that's amazing response time. Wait--is that amazing response time? I also read that he was shot--did the police shoot him, or was he trying to take himself out?

I think NCIS is the only show I've seen use LEO, but krav had LEO classes, so I made myself look kinda dim by asking there. Much better (and less dim) to do so here.

Jesse, you should definitely reblog: [link]

I kind of want to, but it's not good stuff! It's just sad stuff.

Jesse, thanks for posting that link. I've seen a few comments asking if TDKR should be pulled from theaters. That baffles me even more than the "if only someone in the audience had a gun".
