I watched CNN report this story this morning. They looked PAINED to report a lifesaving use of a firearm by a civilian.

It looked as if they were sucking on rotten eggs and lemons when reporting the story as quickly as possible.

The doc needs to find a ruthless attorney and file a huge suit based on the administration promoting a deadly work environment. Proof one: any comments about him saving his own life.
