It's like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant! Now aren't you wondering why this isn't a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting? There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened. Only the local media covered it. The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you'd like to know.

Suppose you were the editor of a big city newspaper with limited resources. Where would you send your reporters...to cover the worst event to happen in this country since September 11, 2001 when 20 innocent children were slaughtered, or some yahoo trying to kill his girlfriend in a movie theater where no one died?
Sadly these events happen every day in this country. Sometimes there's a good outcome, like what happened in San Antonio, but most times there's not a good outcome.
We've become so accustomed to these type of events, that they hardly make the news any more.
Are you suggesting that there should be armed guards at the Rialto?
