Headline should read "Armed citizen thwarts attempted massacre."
I find it curious that whenever some nut-job wants to commit an act of domestic terrorism and the police are called, they just set up a perimeter and wait for the nut-job to finish his spree and commit suicide. The only time these guys are STOPPED is when a citizen steps-up and does the right thing. The only way to PREVENT additional casualties is when the right person is in the right place, at the right time, with the MEANS AND ABILITY to do something about it.
We, as a population, are responsible for our own safety. We cannot rely on others to "protect" us. Especially when those others have families of their own to go home to every night. If we cannot expect the police to face these nuts head-on, we must do it ourselves.
It's a shame the hero in this case will probably not be given the accolades he deserves. At least not by the liberal press.
ETA: Ok, I just read the article and am pleasently surprised that this reporter got it right for once, and from the NY Daily News no less! My above diatribe was a result of the reports I've been listening to on the radio all day, and past events as well.
