POWIP Piece of Work In Progress – Former Abode of Dan Collins

The New Normal (Update)

Through my hydrocone-induced haze, one of my first significant thoughts following the shooting rampage was from a security perspective.  "This is going to drastically change the way town hall meetings are organized from a security perspective."  It's going to affect which venues are chosen, how much security is present, and whether that security is armed. 

This article talks about this angle a little bit, with the added twist of local law enforcement cuts around the country.  I think the gap is going to be filled by private security, so we can now look forward to a few added news items in the future.

"Private Security Agents Detain Protester at Local Rally"

"Hypocrisy?  Pelosi Hired Armed Security Guards for Town Hall"

"Man Injured By Security Guard at Boxer Rally"
