It's as if they are searching for a better description, but that word just automatically comes out. How about "dirtbag", "neanderthal", "a**wipe", "scumball", etc.? I know it confers a high degree of proffessionalism and maintains innocent until proven guilty, but gentleman certainly doesn't fit, especially if he just got done mowing down several innocents in a drunken rage after holding up the 7-11. What gives with that? Or, is that an anacronym for something too? Seriously, wouldn't "person", "Mr. ____", "the accused", "the perpetrator", something along those lines be more appropriate? BTW, "The Ayoob Files " is a great book. I shook my head in amazement the wholeway through. Changed my outlook about handgun performance. Thank you.

My favorite author uses a Boston Detyective and Medical Examiner as her main two charcters most of the time. Tess Gerritsen, some pretty bizzare stuff. Lives up in Maine, must be something in the water up there. Gonna have to check them out. My favorite author uses a Boston Detyective and Medical Examiner as her main two charcters most of the time.
