When the going gets rough, send in a girl. From Paris

Here's what we know (according to WashPost):

The killer in yesterday's rampage, was a "very devout Muslim" who was hoping that President Obama would order a "pullout" from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. When "things did not go that way, he became agitated..."

We know that he entered a crowded room, well known to him, and fired semi-automatic weapons. We know that he killed 13, and wounded 30 (as of this morning).

We know that one tough civilian women police, placed herself in the line of fire, and took him out. We know that the killer survived, but was stopped from additional carnage.

We know that there were extraordinary acts of bravery and kindness (soldiers ripping their clothes to make tourniquets and bandages), and quick focused thinking, saving lives.

We can pretend we don't know Nidal Malik Hasan's motive. We can say he was "frustrated", and use words that don't place any blame on him, as the WashPost started to do today. My prediction is that the largest military base shooting in history, will be downplayed and apologies presented by every major news organization, accept FOX. Nidal will in fact, be able to detail his stress disorder, and he will blame the military's poor follow up on his clear cries for help. He will become a "victim" of the system due to the fact that WE failed to identify his stress level accurately.

I say, lets send in the girls. I have a story that I will share with you tonight, about a very brave girl, who changed my mind about who I'd choose to protect me, if I were in a serious emergency.
