The news of the assassination attempt the other day really shows the power of the internet.
It connects people so you can easily find commentary from an expert on personal protection, inergovernmental agency operations, and who has inside information about the "why" questions which haven't been answered by anyone investigating the matter by interviewing people on the scene.
Furthermore, with social media, you probably don't even have to go looking for them. They are people you already happen to follow.
I've seen some fantastic comments from these incredible people within the first 24 hours alone. What a time to be alive.
