...that's not a big deal and certainly not worthy of a headline or article.

My post was about how the headline tries to play on the public fear about how an extremely dangerous armed gunman was able to kill despite the "security barrier" and it tries to create a false impression that these peaceful protests must then also be dangerous.

It is a synopsis. And "security barrier" is a term used to describe security barriers, not SS protection. ucrdem Jul 2024 #8
