Unless Riverside isn't part of the Southland media markets, there is a 'local' connection, since the shooter grew up in Sandy Eggo and/or its burbs and later lived and/or went to college in the Riverside area. So I think there's a more valid reason for them to do a local angle on the story (even sending a crew to Denver), than if a former intern's cousin's boyfriend knew someone who saw "The Dark Night Rises" in a theater just down the street from the Century 16 and that was the hook. _____ On Jul 20, 7:06 pm, "Kevin M." <[email protected]> wrote: > Roger Ebert is among those who have written about the gun-related > aspect of the tragedy.
