Hmmm, I see this completely differently.
I do not believe Nads was prepared to go to the scene of a mass shooting. I do not believe she has received police clearance to report from such a scene.
All that happened was Nads heard a report of a false alarm on the radio, and decided to make herself the hero/martyr. She was ready to go, confront the crazed gun owner. But alas, the mere presence of Occupy San Diego prevents such mayhem. All should bow before the bravery of Nads, pretend reporter (soon to be a major motion picture starring Danny Devito as Naddin Abbot).
