That's where the right to bear arms in our own defense goes off the rails: People like you, making comments like that. At best it's a crude joke, that neither informs or enlightens; at worst, it's a bad attempt to tie some twisted form of fiscal conservatism to vigilante justice.

First of all the title of the article is misleading. The suspect was not "fleeing" at the time he was shot. (it appears he was assaulting Mr Larson) . And of course shooting someone in defense of yourself or others is not "vigilante" justice . Mr Larson used restraint and use reasonable force to defend himself....

Not to jack the thread further, but the point is why focus on the negative (a simple omission - there are worse journalism offenses)? It's a neat article, and it's so easy to look up an address. Wasting energy to respond on such a trivial thing is worse than the omission.

I've read the book itself several times.

"Dams thwart salmon migration, degrade water quality, alter water flows and contribute to fish diseases and algae bloom problems." Meanwhile. the sudden rush of "experts" on hydrology, power production, etc. pile up like train wreck online and clearly don't give "dam" about salmon migration or water quality.

Its very good idea. Pay a cash settlement to those entitled. I don't feel the state is responsible enough to invest for employees for retirement. lets just pay the workers the real amount they cost the state in benefits, etc, then cut all benefits. I bet that would get rid of a few paper pushers is Juneau.
