I was just reading about the attack on our military personnel in Chattanooga, TN. It is heartbreaking on so many levels - all of the way up to the response from the White House.
BUT...
One of the Marines took time to text to his girlfriend "active shooter." Do you think that those couple of seconds cost him his life? May have. Yes, it's touching that he thought of her, but in those seconds of reaching for his phone and sending a text he lost his life, instead of readying his weapon and returning fire, covering one of his comrades, or taking cover himself.
Another sad example of people who think that they can send/receive text messages and not lose their life or jeopardize the life of someone else.
Thing that make you go "Hmmm."
