Also helps explains why CH’s security was so lax. A more well funded magazine with the enemies they had might have been able to afford more security staff and probably more importantly better physical structural defenses such as safe rooms.

Which, obviously ought not to have been necessary but as a practical matter obviously was.

Even the 2 police officers assigned to “protect” CH weren’t “armoured up” enough to defend themselves.

Even so, those religio-political types who pull these kinds of attacks (including 9/11) don’t care what category—religious, political or social—their victims are.

Had to take a tearful neighbor to Wallyworld to buy a tire she blew a few blocks away. Then, her son had to take off work to mount it. All is fairly well now, but that tire was as bald as a baby’s butt. I told her to try not to get emotional over a tire and that only practicality would save the day—including refusing her offer to pay me for gas next Mon—it’s cheap enough now that gas isn’t the big problem anymore. She’s got enough problems without feeling obligated for me running out less than a gallon to help her out.
