I agree.. I think she saved more than a few lives..everyhting in his behavoral profile indicated he would try for "death by cop"
This is definitely going to be a movie, and it should be.
If she hadn't been going out for cigarettes she wouldn't have been in place to save those lives. Earlier you said her being held hostage was a "good reason to quit smoking."
So which way is it? Nobody gets to have things both ways at the same time. Just think, if smoking were illegal the way you and your fellow fanatics wish, "more than a few lives" more may have been lost.
God works in mysterious ways. Apparently He even does good works through cigarettes and their smokers. Remember that next time you get on your crusading soapbox.
