Brian Stelter: The Media and Politicians Have Security and Bodyguards Unlike Average Americans Who’ve Been in Active Shooter Situations

STELTER: “But we‘ve now joined a list of millions of other Americans who know exactly what this is like, who have been through a lockdown, who have been through an active shooter emergency, or at least the perception of one, who have now heard about shots being fired near them. And I think for different people at the dinner, it sank in or it‘s been sinking in at different times. I was talking to people last night who were in tears, and others who were almost in denial that there was anything dramatic going on around them. And then by the end of the evening, early this morning, I started hearing from folks who were starting to process it and make sense of it. But the thing about this is it was not extraordinary. It was all too ordinary. And, you know, in this case, all those journalists and all those politicians, they had lots of bodyguards and Secret Service staffers and police around. For the average American who lives through one of these ordeals in their own communities, they don‘t have as much of that security around.”
