#5  â€œWe were told police permission is not normally needed but with security concerns as they are, we should have asked.”

Um, since when is police permission *NOT* needed when filming things with gunfire? They need to be notified so that when the neighbors complain about gunfire, they know what is going on...

#4  Sweet Jesus. They're lucky the authorities didn't shoot first and ask questions later.

I know, I know, but the reporting from NPR and BBC really has gotten so bad that you can't help but wonder sometimes.
