America? I said it before, remember the LE at Columbine who stood around picking their noses while students and teachers were begging for them to come rescue them? That one kid finally had to fall out a window and the male teacher died because of inaction. Sorry, but even in America, if you're in a crisis situation be prepared that you're on your own.
It appears the local authorities were well prepared for this. Troops were on the scene almost immdiately.
You must remember, after the theatre acene 2 years ago they have been very concerned about civilian injuries resulting from rasg actions.
I think it has been handled very well,
