We have quite a few trained folks here. From another venue, it has been postulated that the current training videos for how to respond to a rampage, in fact, give hints and ideas to the a shooter on how to do it and awareness of countermeasures.

We've seen planning from Cho, the Aurora shooter and Columbine shooters that showed some sophistication.

So if you show this kind of video to a mass audience, do you set up the shooter to defeat it?

Reasonable thoughts please.
