I cannot stand to watch the reporting on NWCN right now. They are having all these stupids call in and tell what they saw, heard, was there, etc. Some of these fools are calling in and saying thing like:

Reporter: We have Homer on the line now. Homer tell us what you saw and heard.

Reporter: Homer are you there?

Homer: Hello? Hello? Are we on the air?

Reporter: Yes, Homer, we have you now. Tell us what you saw please.

Homer: Well, me and my girrrrllfriend, Wanda wuz down, you know, there at the mall. Like, you know, we were in the food court area, you know, and we heard pops, and like you know, Wanda thought a display had fallen over, you know, and like you know, then, you know, all these people start screaming, you know, running around, you know and the place goes nuts.

Reporter: Homer, did you see the shooter?

Homer: No.

Reporter: Did you see his gun?

Homer: No. But, we wuz real scared. You know, like, I grabbed Wanda's arm, you know and dragged her out of there, you know, real fast like, you know.

Reporter: Ok, thank you Homer for that informative, eyewitness report.

Homer: Your welcome (Homer's 3 minutes of fame are now over).

But the winner was the broad who called in, said she made eye-to-eye contact with the shooter, saw him as he was looking right at her, drop his coat, pull out the gun, and she said they made eye-to-eye contact for ANOTHER 30 SECONDS OR SO!!! Never once did this woman EVEN think for one second, to yell something like: "Man with a gun," or any warnings at all!! Sure, it could have started a stampede, but don't you think that when the shooting started, a stampede started anyway!!!

You hunt? A hunter is "turned on". Most people aren't. Maybe New Yorkers. People who live near crack alleys have to be. Most people aren't. That intense quick-reaction situational awareness is not necessarily a good thing.

There's war mode and then there's peace mode. Most people are in peace mode. And should be.
