The lady whose gun was used for the shootings will have a lot on her
conscience for the rest of her life. The reporters seem to have no idea how
much of the problem was individual error and how much was procedural
inadequacy but both areas will get a lot of scrutiny in the coming months. A
lot of people, most of whom don't know shit, are giving a lot of advice, as
usual. Walt knows he could have been in that room with his friends and has
to feel a definite chill at the thought. /jmac

My sincere sympathies - that was such a tragedy.
No offense taken here.

If I stirred things up too much yesterday, insulted anyone, offended some,
or even pissed off half the list, I beg the pardon of any so affected. Two
of the people killed Friday morning in the courthouse shooting in Atlanta,
while not close friends, were long-time acquaintances of mine: Judge
Rowland Barnes and court reporter Julie Brandau. I've had lunch on a
number of occasions with them. Judge Barnes was, like me, a lover of good
Mexican fare.
After 36 hours of wall-to-wall TV coverage, once the perp was caught and I
took off my holster and Glock and unlocked the front door, fatigue, anger
and frustration, plus a beer, or several, resulted in my looking for a
diversion other than TV coverage of college basketball tournaments and a
way to let off some steam. You guys were available.
I would say it won't ever happen again, but I'm too prone to go off half
cocked occasionally to make such a rash promise. :-)
Film's still better, though.
