Needs to be used as a training video. Situational awareness. Needs to be played to everyone who carries, everyone you can convince to watch it.
I continue to wonder how someone whose job is staring out of a monocular eyepiece trying to keep the interviewer and interviewee both in the frame and in focus would be able to demonstrate situational awareness. Same for someone whose job is either to keep the attention of someone, help make sure they talk to the camera and not to the person they are talking with/at.
In this case it seems the only way this might have been averted (other than either better mental health services or a Ouija board with a positive track record) would have been by providing some sort of overwatch. I'm pretty sure unpaid interns might start unflocking to various fields of employment once they understand their primary responsibility will be unarmed/untrained "bodyguard" activities. (Because I'm also pretty sure news outlets are not going to have the money needed/want to pay for real bodyguards/personal protection agents.)
I'd like to learn how to have situational awareness while I'm hooked up to my CPAP and deep in sleep.
In this case situational awareness should have been being aware of and
taking action* about something like 5
years of increasing anger, unsubstantiated complaints of persecution, and physical confrontation. (A TV reporter now working in Richmond Va after coming from Roanoke was interviewed and discussed several incidents between herself and the killer as well as other incidents between the killer and other staff including on-air personalities, technical staff. HR, and janitorial staff.)
stay safe.
* - "Letting him go" is not good enough. Documentation of the interactions with staff should have been in his personnel file as well as mandatory referrals to MH/anger control therapy. (You can only make someone go once for an evaluation of any need tor treatment, or fire them for refusing to go. But either way it becomes something you can release to potential employers other than "Yes, he was employed here between [date] and [date]."
