I blew the formatting with the < > on that reply at 367. It dropped out the middle quote, and totally mangles my meaning. I meant to 100% agree that it could have been 100s easily, with 7,000 tightly packed targets, and rifle ammo capable of penetrating several people each.

I was pretty sure of your intent - I just thought the possible grenade angle was interesting.

Talking to you reminds me to quit procrastinating and order your second book! I thoroughly enjoyed the first one. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

The pastor and guard were just on LKL, and he said that the service was over and "only" a few hundred people were left at the church. That doesn't change the basic story line at all, but it is a good example of how wrong info gets out and embedded. The poster above quoted, and most of the assumptions on the thread, were that services were still on and 7,000 people were inside. Just another example of waiting to see how facts emerge.

While I am not a believer that we should all sit around and sing Kumbaya and not notice things about the world, this is a good example that FACTS and how people act must trump pre-suppositions. If you just looked at HER (the guard) and her name, and looked at HIM (the murderer) and his name, it would be easy for a lot of folks, some on these threads, to assume that she is more likely to be a terrorist and he to be an innocent victim. Life plays out in lots of funny ways.

Hey thanks! I’m in the middle of writing the third book now.
