It's not necessary to politicize everything. I think if you look after the Westroads mall incident, there was little left comment also. The volunteer security guard Jeanne Assam was an ex-police officer. Middle-Eastern or not, she was a obviously well trained.

What does a patrol in Baghdad start the day with? (Honest question, I have no idea.) And it strikes me that the hero (no dammit, the heroine) of this sadly true story has a surname that might be Middle Eastern. Wouldn't that just completely frost the loser. I wonder how many more of these we will have before people begin to see that "gun free" is not observed by everybody. Churches here, like the Westroads Mall, are "gun free". No, I don't think Westroads is a church, although there are similarities. I am not an expert in the area, but my understanding is the Nebraska Law makes churches "gun free", while the Mall was "gun free" by choice. I also understand that the Westroads signs have been taken down. Nearly everything in this 'graf is from blogs I have read recently, but can not now find to give proper credit. And regarding the armed-guard-in-a-church issue: that bothered me too. But I have now read reports that either say, or lead me to believe that she or others knew there was a connection to the earlier murders from the church and suggest the patrols be established. It doesn't appear that armed guards are the norm, although I have to tell you, in this day and age the combination of loose nuts carrying serious weaponry and large amounts of cash at some of the churches, I am no longer sure I think armed guards in a church sounds so bad anymore. 10,000 rounds!
