We don't keep a good awareness of what is going on around us (hence this guy can brandish a long barrel weapon in public and noone sees him) We don't take any type of care in protecting ourselves beyond locking the doors to our houses and cars. Our society has made us all pretty lax when it comes to these kidns of things and no amount of police protection can change the fact that you can never take your safety and security for granted.
Just a rambling thought that came to me reading the paper today.

just one thing, as far as I know, there is no way to protect oneself from a sniper rifle. sooner or later, someone is gonna get it, no matter how well the protection is
