[AGL] good candidate for a Darwin Award

[Frances Morey]

Thanks, Michael for enlarging on the reportage that came out of this
incident. Yes, you carry an AR-anything to a crowd event and if I had a
side arm I might just shoot you myself. The beautiful woman who was his
fiance was handicapped being a quadra-amputee. That is most unusual as well
and more will be written about this no doubt.
Best,
Frances
