ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BRITISH PRESS REMAINS LAME, especially on American reporting: Jim Henley is correcting an item suggesting that people were cowering in their homes, noting that:

This is all so last Thursday. Schools locked down, meaning cancelled recess and field trips, locked doors and, I think, drew blinds, Thursday only. “Shut down” makes it sound like schools closed. Nearly as I could tell, the killers were the only people who didn’t get out today – every place we went was mobbed. I don’t doubt you could find some people willing to tell a reporter they were scared, but watch what we do here in MoCo, not what we say. And “the last victim” at the time this story must have been filed was either the Petworth man or the Kensington Shell killing. Any place in Rockville is “close” to either place only on the transatlantic scale.

You tell ’em, Jim. He’s got more updates, too, if you scroll down.
