I don't disagree with the 'jubilations'...I'd be glad to be alive as well. But you also wrote "What we SEE" But what about what we don't see? There is always outside issues to be looked at...and I don't think I would take the medias version of ANY event. Was it wrong to shoot the guy? Yes. Was it understandable? Yes."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
