| The original and utterly pitiful headline was "Shots fired at Carlsbad school; man arrested" which misses the most newsworthy part of the story. The story was not considering a leading headline by the webmasters of the San Diego Union website. The suspect had parked his car, jumped a school fence and fired on the playground in the beach community north of San Diego, shooting two students in their right arms, police said. The gunman continued firing rounds as construction workers chased him. One of the workers, Carlos Partida, told KGTV-TV that he ran to his truck and drove into the gunman to stop him. "I hit him with my truck," Partida said. "I am so grateful to the construction workers," said the mother of one of the children there. "They deserve lunch and free doughnuts for the rest of the year." They deserve a helluva lot more than, like one of those Congressional medals for civilians. |

| #2 The Just Us Department will probably do background checks on them, with an eye to deporting them if they are illegal, or prosecuting them if they have so much as an unpaid parking ticket. |

| #1 I agree. These guys prevented a major tragedy. They should get medals and a parade. |
