Theories, Opinions, and Stories Abound

Today, like other hot news days, people are posting whatever they can find about the Kirk shooting and the arrest of the apparent shooter. And, like other such days, information is bombarding every media and discussion outlet. Some of it is correct. A lot of it is utter nonsense, though.

And like other days, we'll watch as the true information floats to the top and the garbage sinks. And so it goes.

What to do? Well, what I do is watch and wait. Then, tomorrow or the next day, we'll have some idea of which stories are correct and which can be discarded. In the meantime, I will have no commend on any of those stories, other than to point out that some may be true and others false. Only time will clarify that.

We'll find out. We always find out. Until we do, though, things are confusing today like they are on any hot news day.

Patience...
