I'm sure if SPD had known about the potential threat this guy posed, they would have taken steps to prevent the events of today.

Great job to ALL who helped rescue her. I have two bassets currently, but I've grown up with them all my life. They are the best dogs you could ever have, but they do have a tendancy to follow their noses and get themselves into situations they can't get out of.

You know what else is a natural thing? Sex. Yet there aren't any laws on the books protecting people who want to have sex at a restaurant, theater, store, etc. The issue doesn't seem to be that people want mothers to stop breastfeeding, it's WHERE they breastfeed and if they cover up or not. The argument that feeding my child is the most natural thing is in invalid argument when what they are asking for is WHERE they are allowed to do it. As a business owner, I should have the right to ask a customer to cover up if they are making other patrons uncomfortable. It's my business, and I should have the right to refuse service to someone.

A while back I was in line for a movie and a girl cut in line to stand with her friends. A few girls standing behind them started in on them calling them all names, threatening to kick their a**es, etc. I wouldn't really call that bullying, but a bunch of nasty words and threats being thrown about by girls that obviously had no respect for each other or their surroundings. I was shocked by the things they were saying to each other, and I'm only a 30 year old woman.

I know I am generalizing, but these things are happening whether we see them or not.

Kudos for the girl to fight back, I hope you recover swiftly.

They have suffered more than anyone after all that they have been through.

However, if there was a similar situation in the future, the outcome could very well be different. Given that the dispatcher knew what she was doing at the home, and what her job was, I think the benefit of the doubt should have been given and they should have been called sooner.

No sympathy for you Ms. Hanes, sorry.

I think we can all agree that this was a tragedy, and the friends and family of those who died deserve our condolences. As do the firefighters and other rescue personnel who no doubt suffer psychological damage from knowing four children died and they were unable to help them.

Seems that might cut down on these expenses quite a bit.
