I heard about this while listening to my satellite radio. I assumed that all the major news outlets would be covering this. I had to actually navigate around CNN to find this article.

It is simply amazing that stories like balloon boy or the white house party crashers will receive HUGE amounts of coverage...but when a man walks into a post office strapped with c4...meh not a big deal.

How exactly was this even possible? Federal law prohibits all guns from Post Offices. Oh.. wait.. That prevented the citizens inside from defending themselves not the gunman from taken them hostage!

Maybe it's not getting covered because it's a fake story as we know guns are not allowed in Post Office. Duh. Put two and two together next time.

Just think, if more people inside had guns then there is a chance many more people would be dead! Isn't that fantastic! Instead, everyone walked out alive, which according to people like yourself is a tragedy.
