#2 a couple of (I assume) young wimmin who said they didn't want white people in Britain shooting brown people. So, I guess it's O.K. for brown people to kill white people? These young wimmin must have sawdust for brains.

Heh. I was being interviewed by some school kids about the fire/evac. Finished describing some of the memorable slides, nice kid goes, 'Woww...did you get any pictures?' Me: I was a bit busy dealing with the problem to take selfies.

Class does a funny laugh, as in yeah guess you would be.

Now, video is a handy tool, but I think of that dork in London who decided he was going to live-feed his death while giving a lecture on colloquialism. Turn the video on, set the phone/tablet down, and get to work on the real problem at hand. Even if you don't get good video, the audio is extremely helpful. Most important, live to joke about bad/no camera placement.

That didn't happen with 9/11.

Instead the talking heads took to the airwaves almost immediately warning us to "not jump to conclusions" and the politicians decided what we needed to do was wage some sort of ambiguous "war" on some ambiguous target ("terror") while harassing the flying public.
