it may help police, security firms and government officials but what's being requested here is to release information to the general public. the general public, by and large, can't, won't or isn't going to do anything with evidentiary information except drum up crazy conspiracy theories and draw lines in the sand about guns/immigration/mental health/etc.I think knowledge about any mass shooting informs future security efforts at public events. Crazies can't be 100% stopped, but they can be 95% mitigated against -- and it's probably possible to chip away at that remaining 5%. Knowledge helps. Just because the past can't be changed ... that doesn't mean knowledge about such events should be treated as irrelevant and not worth pursuing.
the people how need the evidence: police, lawyers, the FBI i'm sure are sifting through lots and lots of information
it's like when the media and public go crazy after a plane crash asking for "the truth" behind what happened. if it comes out too quickly, people go berserk poking holes in theories and say there's no way the NTSB could have had answers so quickly. if it drags out too long, people cry conspiracy.
where's the appropriate middle ground?
also "95% mitigated against"?????? this isn't some futuristic sci-fi flick. if it were true that these sorts of things were prevented 95% of the time.. holy sweet mother of #### what kind of world do you think we live in?
