You know...I really REALLY hope this spawns a new protocol for dealing with crap like this.
Basically, if you take a hostage, we get to kill you at the first chance. No more of this negotiate and try to save your life bullcrap.
Take the cuffs off the police and let them find new ways to do their jobs...protect the innocent.
If modern mindset was that if you take a hostage, you will die, at least the rules would be in place from the start.
I know I'm speaking out of anger, so if this was thought out, it would probably not be the best move, but I'd rather let my emotions take over on this one. <---Should be banned for circumventing the cuss filter.Comment

Not to mention there are most likely not mentally stable... so cognition of this policy would be all but absent, if not entirely. I doubt the policy like that would help much...Originally posted by geekwarriorbless, support, and never forget the troops

It is scary. It can, indeed does, happen anywhere, seemingly without provocation. That's the part that scares me, that someone can just snap and become capable of somthing like thisOriginally posted by LinearGoose

I know what you mean. I watched a show on "Bum Hunting" last night. These teenagers would find homeless people and beat them with baseball bats(often to death), light them on fire, etcetera.
It's been a long time since I've been that angry. I would undoubtedly not have a problem doing that same thing, and more, to those teenagers.The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves. 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

Random violence is nothing new to our society or many others. It just so happens that there are a spurt of them right now.
As far as changing policies, yes that can and has happened. After Columbine a lot of agencies enacted or looked at new policies and tactics regarding "active shooters", meaning going against bad guys that are actively shooting up schools etc."Don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep."

In a lot of cases, it IS the new protocol. Just look at what happened in Canada recently, the first police on scene charged in and engaged the suspect. The guy in Pennsylvania apparently opened fire when he saw the police preparing to enter the building.Originally posted by beam
It's a tough position for law enforcement to be in, and they will always be endlessly second-guessed. The police in Colorado will catch hell for storming the room where the guy was holding two girls hostage, even though they believed they had no choice. It's just the nature of our society. God help us if we ever face a Beslan-type scenario.Comment

Oh, and prepare to see the anti-gun crowd coming on strong. I'm a gun owner, and I love shooting, but frankly they're going to have some good ammunition. From what I've seen, all the guns used in the recent incidents have been legally owned (though, in the case of colorado, it was owned by his brother). Kinda damages the "criminals down legally own guns" argument.Comment
