Hello, it is a volcano people! Mt Etna
#16
RE: Hello, it is a volcano people! Mt Etna
When I was in college long, long ago, there was a gunman in a high rise apartment building near the student union. THOUSANDS of people crowded the street surrounding the building, apparently to see what was going on. Had there been any shooting from the building into the crowd, the shooter could have scarcely missed. And any shooting like that could have stampeded the crowd, and probably killed a large number more.

Situation was resolved peacefully, but the responding law enforcement folks were stroking out over the danger to the crowd.

Heinlein's Moon is a Harsh Mistress had picnickers crowding the sites were the lunar freedom fighters were aiming their 100 ton projectiles. Seems plausible enough to me . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
