Like they need a reason. It's all about the feels.

Why are you calling me out?

I'm not sure. I know that it has nothing to do with the fact YOU were the one that typed it though. Don't bother responding, I derail enough threads as it is.

"Why didn't anyone shoot back? Sounds like there were a hundred or more in the building when the first shot went off. Gave the guy 3-5 minutes to keep killing till the first LEO showed up."

CCW permits are just about impossible for the average Joe to get in metropolitan California, if you are a movie star or his bodyguard then maybe.

You're not the only one that wonders about your question...

Also not specifically calling Gman out.

That's kind of what I figured but the cops I know usually refer to it as "moonlighting" so I use their term (the less flattering version I heard from a Denver detective who was in my NG unit was "Pimping the Badge.")

I was responding to the linked article at the beginning of the thread. I wasn't excluding anyone, just commenting based on the officer of nearly 30 years running *toward* the gunfire to stop the threat.

When I look at the linked article now, it doesn't look anything like it did at 6:41am, so I can understand some confusion.

The timing is definitely suspicious.
