Courthouse Shooting In Full View of Unmanned Cameras

There are so many holes in the security in the weekend courthouse shooting, but this last one is easily the worst. Turns out that the area where the assailant took the gun from a deputy and locked her in a cell is monitored by 2 security cameras. It was in full view of both cameras, who faithfully recorded the event. But there was no one at the cameras to see the incident, so the shooter was not stopped and quickly became a multiple murderer. I am no professional in the area of law enforcement or prisoner control, but more and more it seems like safeguards that obviously should have been in place, simply were not.

This take no guilt from the shooter, who deserves the most society can do as punishment. But it reminds us yet again that failing to think ahead is far more costly than we can imagine.
