This may extend to all costumed events, such as Trekkie conventions and showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
In my opinion, the shooter could be properly dealt with by putting Guantanamo to good use, since I notice it's still open.
Which, sadly, is never should have been.
But no, it wouldn't do to have mixed use - better to reopen Bedlam.

I was speaking metaphorically (and rather sarcastically), of course. I not only think Guantanamo should have been closed long ago, but agree that it should never have been put to such use in the first place.

As you say, interesting article. That the response is so embedded suggests no change anytime soon.

This was so interesting to read! Makes you wonder about other cold cases and if they'll ever be resolved.

Another one that bit the dust. I had moved from the area but this time, so I had never attended. Looked like fun.
I've never been to Chicago, Along. I will make it there one day.
Unfortunately, we had one of our mega snow storms. Three of us were supposed to meet in Chicago for a cousins reunion. My cousin Sharon drove down from Michigan and another cousin drove up from Texas. My flight was cancelled. So disappointing.
