Huh? Whuh?

 
Today, my wife was doing one of the various visits that comprise part of her job. As she entered the next spot on her itinerary, a television was playing in the lobby, recounting the incident wherein some then-unidentified person had opened fire (massive fire, apparently) on theatergoers at a premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises”.

Our last word from my daughter (the redoubtable sroni), visiting friends out of state? that she and they were attending a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises”.

Fortunately, we’ve heard from her since then. Not even the same state. But, damn.

I look forward to the day when news reports indicate that one of these would-be perpetrators has been thoroughly and definitively shot dead by a dozen or so of his intended victims. But, you know what? even if it happened, today’s media wouldn’t report it. Or would use it to launch yet another demand for more gun control.
