NEW RULE

Security is not optional.

On Monday, a gunman entered the Colorado state house. He announced: “I’m the emperor.” Seconds subsequent, police shot and killed him. The aforesaid is irrelevant. Following September 11, medal detectors were installed. Why were they removed? Threats are inherent. Threats are dangerous. Concerns are irrelevant. Thankfully, Monday’s incident was minor. However, Monday’s incident was also avoidable. Avoidable sans Colorado’s irresponsibility.
