Funny how you have a habit of insinuating if not outright proclaiming that I must have lifted something from somewhere else and yet you have never, not once, provided a scintilla of evidence to support this accusation. As you say this is a "serious omission" on your part but I guess it's okay when you do it
The point is, and still remains, that the overwhelming majority of news accounts didn't mention the role of students, armed with firearms[2], had in stopping the shooter and this is far from the only case. The MSM tends to spike that part of the story. Congrats on finding one of the very few that didn't do so in this particular case, although only in passing, and giving the false impression (deliberately?[3]) that arming themselves played no role in the subduing of the shooter).
1. It was also a time I had access to Lexis-Nexis allowing me to scan hundreds of newspapers and do quick statistical analysis.
2. It matters little that they were off duty law enforcement since now even they are rendered helpless by the Gun Free zone laws (a recent court decision in this area declared they are not exempt when off duty (the local legislature was looking into passing legislation excluding them)
3. probably in order to "dupe their chosen demographic"
