So, I'm curious to hear how the hivemind has handled discussions about guns with preschoolers. The little man (now 4) is a robust consumer of kid-related pop culture and is also in daycare with 25 or so other similar consumers, so he's seen a lot of cartoon weapons (how sad is that?) and a great deal of his time is spent exploring power, differentiating between good guys and bad guys, determining who goes to jail, and playacting weapons and particularly guns. Both at home and at school the adults in his life are very very proactive about intervening with play violence, doing things like talking out problems, using one's power to be kind and generous, how there are aren't good and bad people but rather good and bad choices, and that it's not fun to pretend to hurt people or pretend to use guns. We do all that, but still the exploration continues, and still we continue to talk about how books or movies or games involving guns are not right for our family, etc. We know it's a process.
Unbeknownst (until last night) to the little man, our geographic area has had three or four terrible incidents in the last month where kids have been accidentally shot by other kids or have shot themselves (the oldest being 8, two being under 5) with guns that were left unattended in their reach. Two kids were shot fatally, and one was just 3. It's been heartbreaking as a parent to watch the fallout from this, to hear about the incidents, and to witness the statements made by the adults, all parents, who inadvertently made the guns available. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to interrogate anyone whose home my kid might go into about whether they have a gun, and if so where they keep it and I want to see it locked up separately from the bullets with my own eyes.
So I want to know how you all deal with the seemingly unending redirection about guns at this age, and when it stops, if ever, and what's been successful. Because last night after a long monologue from the little man about some sort of imaginary conflict involving guns, and yet another negotiating "but mom, I only shooted bad guys!" I had had it and said "the reason I am so upset about guns is that they really hurt people. Last week a gun shot a kid because he wasn't being safe with it, and the adults around him weren't keeping him safe, and he was really hurt and he died, and I feel really sad for that kid and his family." Which led to a million questions about "do we know that kid?" (no, but we still feel sad) "how old was that kid? was he a baby?" (he was 3) "why did he not know to be safe?" (because he was too young and maybe the adults around him didn't make sure he was safe) "how do you shoot a gun? Is there a button?" (no, there is a trigger, and I showed him with my hand where on a gun it is and told him never ever to touch a gun because it could go off, though, terrifyingly I don't know if he actually would recognize one in real life) "did it really happen? It wasn't a story?" (no, it wasn't a story. It really happened.) and, most heartbreakingly "even though he wasn't safe, we still love that kid." (we do love him, and it wasn't his fault, because the adults around him did not keep him safe).
This morning the little man's waking words were "was that story about the kid and the gun real? I feel scared about that kid." and then he told the whole story about the kid to the life duet, and then to each of his teachers at school. He's very serious about it, and about talking about how if he sees a gun he will tell a trusted adult right away. I'm kind of worried it was too much, but I really was at the end of my rope with all the kidding around and the negotiating about a gun that shoots ice cream or only shooting bad guys or whatever, and I felt like he just wasn't hearing how serious I was.
So, hivemind, if you think I scarred him, please gently advise on how to deal with it, and if you have thoughts about how to reinforce nonviolence and no gun play in a way that he will understand, that would be awesome. And if I'm going to be having these conversations until he's an adult, I guess tell me that too so I can prepare myself. Sigh.
I don't think you scarred him at all - he's just processing things the only way he knows how for his age. I'm glad he talks to you about it. There's scary stuff in the world, and sooner or later we have to let them know about it. I think you framed it correctly, in that the child was not protected by the adults around him, rather than it being his fault.
As for the other stuff, I'm *still* trying to figure this out myself. The kids don't tend to do pretend gun play because they know it makes me deeply unhappy. They still 'design' them, though. But it's more of a function of the constant battles in which their Lego armies are engaged.
Maybe for now just give him a break from it, and give him some time.
We allow nerf guns and water guns in the house. We've also had that exact talk about why real guns are scary as hell and how many kids die from guns. We've told him that if he's ever at someone's house and he sees a gun he needs to get a grown-up right away. I don't think you scarred him for life, you just let him know what the stakes are and why you care so much.
We're in a pretty rural area, so guns here are part of hunting, which is part of life. My oldest is 9, my youngest is 3 so we're just bordering on middle school.
But what my kids think of when they think of guns is probably rifles. Heck, they've seen me shoot rifles. But rifles aren't the kind of gun that gets left lying around. They're always locked. It seems strange and bordering on ludicrous to me that someone would leave a loaded handgun just lying around.
When we've talked about guns, it's usually been in the context that we talk about tools. Some tools are very dangerous and should never be handled, touched etc. without an adult supervising and teaching you.
Don't know if that helps. It sounds like I'm coming from a very different context that may not be helpful to you.
A book that I liked Playful Parenting has a section on gun play. From what I recall, he says that kids will see gun play and violence in cartoons and so the play-acting becomes important for processing it. He, (again from memory here) doesn't stop make-believe guns, but does try to keep the realistic ones away (kind of like McG and MNM described). He does try to convert the violent play to something happier when within the adult's power, "Oh, that's shooting out hugs, does that mean you like one?" But, hopefully the author doesn't see this summary--I may not have it exactly correct.
We've also been introduced to all of that play through school (and his school bans talk of guns and bad guy/good guys on the playground, but it sneaks in anyway), so I think it's just reality of being a kid. I also don't think you scarred him for life. Bad stuff happens in the world. And whether it was guns or a natural disaster or terrorism, there are going to be scary things that you have to explain to him. And he'll talk (and play) through it.
Edited to add, I am sorry that you've had to explain this. The stories sound very heartbreaking.
Kids are some of the most durable things on the planet. I don't think you scarred your sun, but kids need to learn to not be afraid of guns, but to respect what a gun is and what it can do.
I'll more or less agree with Wookie and Rommie. We don't live in a rural area, but I grew up in one and there were always guns around. I tend toward the very strict about it--guns are tools, not toys, and we don't ever, ever, ever point a gun at people, not even for pretend. The boys do have nerf guns and water guns, over my objections, but again, I'm really strict about how they can play with them and they never get pointed at people, even the water guns (which causes them to be very upset and makes me the meanest mommy ever). We don't have real guns in the house, and we probably won't, but when the boys are older I plan on getting them into a gun safety class and, if they want, to go hunting with my dad.
And I don't think you've scarred him or anything. He'll be fine and now he has something to think about. Kids are pretty resilient--it is a lot harder to mess them up than we think.
Kommish, I've done stuff like that so many times. Not about guns, but on other topics where my anxiety tends to be high and my need to be heard and taken seriously overtakes my patience. I don't think it's a bad thing. It's not always ideal, but I think it's okay for them to see that we adults have fears and boundaries too, and that our rules aren't arbitrary. If we're going to have strict rules about things like gun play, I think it's useful and fair for the children to understand why.
He's not scarred, but he will probably need a lot of time and retelling to make his peace with a big story like that. Get ready for more questions. He will probably also need some reassurance that he is safe. He can learn that he's not very likely to come across an unattended gun. And he can learn that if he does see a gun and there are no adults around, his job is to leave the room and tell an adult. Having a plan will hopefully help him feel safer.
I always feel weird asking The Boy's friends' parents about guns in their home (or swimming pools or fierce dogs, etc.) When the kids were younger, I'd set the tone when we hosted a playdate by disclosing "We do have a cat, we are not a peanut-free house, we don't have guns or a pool or a dog," etc. and then the parents would do the same when we'd go to their place. I haven't done that lately, though.
But I did have the gun safety talk with The Boy recently. It was the first time I'd ever brought it up, but he was finishing my sentences for me and saying "I know! I know!" I guess they must have addressed this in school, too.
I've lived largely in coastal urban areas, then moved to a rural area, and that difference plays out in terms of both general attitudes among our neighbors about guns (bad/good) and also in terms of what they're mainly used for ("self-defense"/hunting). That also makes a big difference about whether kids are likely to run into danger, I suspect, since the point of hunting weapons is hunting and so they're not going to be left in a bedside table, since who goes hunting in the middle of the night, whereas the point of a "self-defense" weapon depends on accessibility so I would imagine that those those things are generally available and loaded.
Living in a rural area has given me comfort that most hunters are reasonably safety-conscious and if I learn that someone has hunting weapons in their house I will verify that they're kept locked up, but won't freak out about it. In the context of hunting, though I disagree with it, I recognize that a gun is a tool - just as Rommie says, a chainsaw or a knife - and a dangerous tool, but one that is often safely managed. The problem comes when guns are introduced as an aspect of a family's self-defense. That means that the main target of those guns is people, and I feel that there's no way to keep people thoroughly safe from them since they are supposed to be accessible to people in the house. I wouldn't let the bub go to a house where I've learned people keep guns for self-defense.
We haven't broached child death with our 5 year old yet, which I'm going to have to do sometime soon. My brother died when he was 5 and I've been terrified of talking about it with the bub because of the fears you outline, kommish. We've had plenty of adult death conversations, but it's very different when they explicitly understand themselves to be vulnerable to it. However, your experience is giving me confidence to do it the next time it comes up. It's a hard thing, but it is a very relevant reason why we're so frightened of certain kinds of things as parents and it's useful for them to know why we're so serious about certain things. We don't want to do it, and I completely empathize, but it's true and relevant information and if we're committed to helping them integrate it I think it all comes out okay.
We've gone the karate route for aggressive self-expression. The bub still wants weapons, but now he's talking about using bo staffs rather than guns, so for me that's a win.
I grew up around guns (thanks to my big brother). 4 yo E fits all the stereotypes about boys and guns. A stick turns into a gun, a sticker on his finger turns into a gun. He has squirt guns galore. Grammy sent him home with a much too realistic toy gun from a parade one year, and I hid it and said soldiers needed to borrow it. If he sees a picture of a gun, he immediately asks if it's a real "fire" gun (yes, I'm looking at you, Little Critter book). Sometimes I point out he difference between his toy guns and real guns. He's similarly obsessed with good guys and bad guys. Not always sure how to redirect the gun play, but I try not to make a big deal out of it...
I think it's great he was empathetic towards the boy, and instead of being scared, he's probably just getting used to dealing with a dose of reality.
Thanks, all. To be clear, while we are not hunters I don't have an issue with hunting guns - in concordance with hermit crab's insight, in my experience folks that have guns for hunting (including our downstairs neighbors) tend to be very conscious about keeping them locked and unloaded when they're not using them. None of the situations leading to my freakout had anything to do with hunting guns. Interestingly, all the gun owners involved were people permitted to carry handguns (one was a cop) and all exhibited shockingly poor judgment about where they put their guns.
Thanks for your insights. I like the idea of initiating martial arts in a couple years to see if we can direct some of the aggressive energy, but until then it sounds like I did okay. The questions seem to have died down a little, but he's an empathetic kid who often ruminates about things and asks more questions days or weeks later, so I expect some more conversation.
Hermit, it didn't occur to me that I may have inadvertently introduced child death to the little man. He's been really interested in death, as we've lost several family members in the last few years. We have the book "When Dinosaurs Die" and I think it's really good, really frank and honest, and the little man likes it read a lot, and it touches on children dying as well as suicide and trauma very appropriately. I really recommend it to go with the conversation you end up having. And I'm sorry about the loss of your brother. That must have been so hard for your family.
I absolutely believe in having a gun for home defense. In areas where there are less strict gun laws, especially states where it is legal to open carry a loaded weapon, you see way less violent crime. Then you look at Chicago, where it practically illegal to think about a gun, and their violent crime is skyrocketing. It's okay to have a gun in the home for protection. People just need to be smart about it. My dad had a giant revolver, a shotgun, and a rifle. When I was a kid I knew where all of these guns were, but I never knew where the ammo was, and my dad did that on purpose.

Cluster Munitions
Cluster munitions (also known as cluster bombs) are particularly inhumane weapons: they not only kill and maim indiscriminately during conflicts, but due to their high failure rates also pose a constant threat to the civilian population long after the cessation of hostilities – often for decades.
To end this suffering once and for all, Austria has committed herself actively within the framewoek of the so-called Oslo Process (launched in 2007) towards an international, legally binding ban on cluster munitions. Austria's leading international role was underlined by the adoption of the strictest national law banning this category of weapons (6 December 2007) and by the organisation of the successful Vienna Conference on Cluster Munitions (5 - 7 December 2007). The Vienna Conference was able to bring the Oslo Process a distinctive step forward through substantial progress in the discussions on a draft text of the planned convention.
On 30 May 2008 the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) was adopted by 107 states at an international conference in Dublin. This Convention ranks as the most important disarmament treaty since the "Ottawa Convention" (1997), and is considered a significant further development of international humanitarian law. The CCM entails a categorical ban on cluster munitions, which cause unacceptable harm to civilians and includes all types of cluster munitions that were used to date. Moreover, new standards for the assistance of victims have been set by the CCM.
94 countries signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions on 3 December 2008 in Oslo. Austria has signed the Convention during the opening ceremony in Oslo in the presence of a representative of the Austrian parliament and civil society representatives. Following the deposit of the 30th instrument of ratification the CCM has entered into force on 1 August 2010. The first Meeting of the States Parties (MSP) in the framework of the Convention on Cluster Munitions took place in Vientiane/Lao P.D.R. from 9 to 11 November 2010. Austria played a key role during the first MSP as "Friend of the Chair" for victim assistance. The second MSP is scheduled to take place in Lebanon in September 2011.
Austria has successfully promoted the rapid entry into force of the Cluster Munitions Convention as well as its universalization and complete implementation. A number of projects to clear cluster munitions in Lebanon, Jordan or Afghanisatn were co-financed with Austrian funds.

U.S. Highway 75 construction pushes down surrounding business sales
Chris Beattie/Staff Photo - Construction of the U.S. Highway 75-Eldorado Parkway interchange has prevented easy access to businesses on both sides of the highway. Particularly restaurant owners say such detours have resulted in fewer customers.
By Chris Beattie,
Published: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 12:50 PM CDT
Drivers passing through construction on the U.S. Highway 75-Eldorado Parkway interchange may have their patience tested once or twice a day, but they're likely not as frustrated as surrounding businesses.
As traffic is detoured up, down and around Eldorado along the U.S. 75 frontage roads, going north and south, the inconvenience is turning away customers.
"It's had a tremendous impact," said Al Ramos, general manager of the El Fenix restaurant south of Eldorado at Craig Drive and South Central Expressway. "What's going to hurt us more is when they close this frontage road."
Ramos just found out about the closure of the road along South Central Expressway, which he said is supposed to happen in the next two weeks. El Fenix is just one of dozens of restaurants and shops whose access relies heavily on the blocked or detoured Eldorado exits on both sides of U.S. 75.
The single-point urban interchange, modeled after TxDOT's similar project at Parker Road and U.S. 75 in Plano, is designed to relieve congestion at the Eldorado-U.S. 75 intersection. But for several months now, highway motorists who wish to visit shopping centers on the southbound side near Eldorado have had to drive about two miles north to Virginia Parkway and come back around.
The interchange is the most complicated piece of a projected 40-month undertaking that's about 25 percent complete, said Barry Heard, TxDOT's Collin County engineer.
The entire project, which began in January, will add two lanes on each side of U.S. 75 and one lane to the corresponding frontage roads between Sam Rayburn Tollway and U.S. Highway 380.
There were conflicting reports this summer the interchange would be partially open this fall and completely open by January, but Heard said that's not the case. TxDOT expects to complete the current phase by then, but traffic will not be on the new bridge until sometime this spring, he said.
"By around this time next year is when the interchange will be more into the shape of what it used to be," he said. "The whole intersection will not be fully functional until the entire project is done about two years from now."
Thus, like oft-stalled motorists, businesses overlooking the construction will have to wait it out. Management at Razzoo's Cajun Café, which opened about a year ago just south of Eldorado off Central Expressway, said sales began dropping significantly about 30 to 45 days after construction commenced. The restaurant's sales are down by about 30 percent.
El Fenix, situated just south of Razzoo's, has seen about a 10 percent sales dip, Ramos said, well below the 13-percent hike it experienced when the U.S. 75-Sam Rayburn Tollway interchange was complete. And managers at both restaurants say the biggest problem is convenience - potential customers don't want to maneuver their way to a quick lunch or dinner.
"Our goal is to maintain existing traffic while under construction, and that's pretty much what we're doing," Heard said. "Some areas are harder to get around, and there are detours, but (traffic volume) hasn't really changed."
Though Ramos said he just found out about the impending frontage road closure, the McKinney city staff and TxDOT officials have tried to maintain constant communication, particularly to businesses, said Anna Clark, city spokeswoman.
On May 25, as construction was amped up, the city sent to hundreds of property and business owners a letter notifying them of accessible email updates and website notifications that would continue throughout the multi-year project. About 400 email addresses receive such regular updates, which correspond with TxDOT updates, Clark said.
The city's Engineering Department meets weekly with TxDOT to stay informed on upcoming changes. John Valencia, director of business retention and expansion for the McKinney Economic Development Corporation, relays such notices to affected businesses, Clark said.
"Things change so quickly," she said. "There are so many different working parts to this, that's why Engineering meets every week and [Communications] helps them get the word out."
Business at some surrounding retail stores has stayed mostly the same. Employees at Chico's, a clothing and accessories store at Eldorado Plaza (northwest corner of the U.S. 75-Eldorado Parkway intersection), said the construction has affected the area as a whole but not really their store. They said existing customers know they're still open - as a "Businesses Open" sign at the plaza entrance points out - so the construction only affects new or potential customers.
Subtly Southwest, a smaller jewelry and accessories store that opened next to Chico's in January, has no pre-construction comparison in terms of sales, but owner Norma Talbott said other retailers and restaurants have expressed the impact.
"It's made the traffic faster and a little more hazardous through here," Talbott said. "I've had customers who've been to see us say, 'We'll be back after the construction's done.'"
Talbott said business owners were told the Eldorado bridge would be complete before Christmas, an expectation that seems unlikely at this point. She and others are already looking forward to that day.
"Once it's all up, sure, it will be great," Ramos said. "But it's not here yet."

A classic Mulberry style featuring our iconic Postman's Lock fastening with Mulberry tree embossing. Ideal for cosmetics, compacts and small change, the interior features a wipe clean lining.
Natural Leather
A Mulberry favourite, this leather is tanned using a natural vegetable tanning technique. The soft leather retains the individual grain pattern of the skin, making each product unique.
Soft and durable.

The individual grain pattern of the leather makes each product unique
Mulberry's advice is to regularly treat your product with Collonil Waterstop Gel, which will help reduce dirt and water marks and assist in preserving the natural characteristics of this unique leather.
If the surface appears dull, rub lightly with a soft, dry cloth.
Should the product get wet, please remove any residual water immediately with a paper towel, pack loosely with paper and allow to dry naturally.
Never place in direct heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods as this may cause the color to fade unevenly.
Please avoid rubbing against fragile or lightly-colored clothing. Special care should be taken to prevent scratching and marking; avoid placing your product on rough or sharp surfaces.

Seems like not a week goes by without a major manufacturer rolling out a clutch of new and improved AVRs, and this week is no different.
Yamaha has given its latest entry-level 5.1 unit, the RX-V373, a pair of bigger and more wirelessly enabled sibs, 5.1 channel RX-V473 ($449.95) and the 7.1 RX-V573 ($549.95). As it was with the 373, the buzzword here is 4K — like the previous unit, both of these new RX-V models offer 4K pass-through (as well as 3D pass through, and audio return channel), simplying your interfacing with future equipment (well, at least future equipment that's forseeable given current technology). So if you need a new receiver, but you're looking for a way to economize while you're saving your pennies for ultra-high-rez video gear, here's an opportunity.
Beyond that, we're looking at the bursting menu of options that's become typical of contemporary midrange AVRs — analog inputs for your analog sources (should you still have anything like that around); plenty of HDMI connectivity for your video needs; decoding of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD; 24/192 Burr-Brown DACs on all audio channels; front-panel USB ports for easy access to playback from thumb drives and iOS devices; controller apps for both iOS and Android; etc., etc.
Should you not have much in the way of audio sources in your current roster, no worries: the 473 and 573 add AirPlay and DLNA support, for wireless playback from your mobile devices or NAS, along with Intenet radio tuner capability via vTuner, so coupled with the speakers of your choice, they're plenty capable on their own, so long as you have digital music stored or subscribed to someplace. There's even what the comany calls a "Compressed Music Enhancer" algorithm for your low-bit-rate files. Also on tap is Yamaha's YPAO room analysis and setup routine (the receivers include the setup microphone); bass management features, and automated dynamic range control (read "Night Mode") for when you need to keep the volume down and still want to be able to understand dialogue tracks.
Overall, a nice range of features for a nice price, so if you're looking to power a 7.1 or 5.1 system that leans digital, and you don't want to break the bank, Yamaha might have your AVR.
"analog inputs for your analog sources (should you still have anything like that around)"
Laser Disc - Han Solo always shoots first on the LaserDisc
S-VHS VCR - hook old video game system (Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Intelivision, & Colecovision) using the RF input on the VCR, then hook the S-Video & RCA stereo outputs from the VCR to the receiver
Composite Video Game System (NES, Sega Master System, Atari XE-GS, Sega Genesis)
S-Video Video Games Systems (Atari Jaguar, SNES, Sega Saturn, 3DO)
5.1 input
Phono input w/ ground
Sirius / XM input

Gun violence forum tonight in Ballston Spa -- watch it live here
The forum will be live-streamed from www.saratogian.com.
BALLSTON SPA — Seven panelists — including professionals speaking on behalf of schools, media organizations, police departments, parents and mental health patients — have been asked to present a tangible solution to preventing gun violence during a community forum titled "Keeping Our Children Safe from Gun Violence in Schools" at 7 p.m. Thursday at Ballston Spa High School.
The event, organized by the League of Women Voters of Saratoga, Schenectady and Albany counties, was prompted by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Patricia Nugent, president of the Saratoga County league, said that even though the league has nationally supported gun control since 1990, it wasn't until the shooting in Newtown, Conn., that it became obvious to members that the issue of keeping children safe in schools needed to be addressed.
"It seemed to be the last straw," Nugent said of the Connecticut shooting in which 20 schoolchildren were killed. "Once again, little children are gunned down in what should be a safe place for them. Parents put their children on the bus in the morning, expecting them to come back at the end of the day, and we fail as a society if that expectation no longer holds up."
Rosemary Armao, a faculty member of the journalism program at the State University of New York at Albany, agrees with Nugent.
"Newtown changed things," Armao said. "Smart people need to sit down and talk about how to fix this."
In addition to teaching and working as a reporter and editor for more than 30 years, Armao trained journalists and worked on media development projects throughout Eastern Europe and Africa. At the moment, she is writing a flurry of articles on violence in the media and its impact on society.
The veteran journalist says she is anxious to hear the thoughts of panelists and audience members and that she has more questions than answers. She would like to see the violence prevalent in movies, video games and television shows be contained, but she is also adamantly opposed to censorship.
Violence in the media cannot be held solely accountable for the rise of gun violence in schools, Armao said, because people all over the world are tuning in to American broadcasts without going on shooting sprees. Continued...
"Why are the killings happening here?" she asked during a telephone interview. "The only thing different is the availability of guns. In Bosnia, people are using old hand grenades to commit suicide, yet people aren't walking into school yards and killing kids."
Dr. James Kelleher, chief medical officer at Four Winds Hospital in Saratoga Springs, is in favor of bettering prevention strategies in the mental health field to prevent gun violence. He is concerned about the effect the new, more restrictive gun law will have on people who are hesitant about reaching out for help from mental health professionals, especially those who own weapons or are suicidal.
Kelleher said he is curious to see how new mental health legislation will be interpreted by the courts and lawmakers and if it will conflict with the patient's confidentiality rights.
"I do think there's a risk if it's implemented in a broad way, that it will inhibit some patients from seeking treatment," Kelleher said.
Throughout the course of the school year, kids go through routine practice drills to be prepared in case of an emergency. Besides fires and other natural disasters, kids today also practice lockout and lockdown drills in the event of a shooting. Nugent thinks it's important to discuss ways the community can keep children safe without turning schools into armored camps.
Nugent invites the public to attend the forum and stresses it is relevant to everyone, not just parents and teachers. Following the discussion and questions from audience members, Nugent says an action plan will be devised.
"We cannot be silent," she said, "Children need to know we care and are actively working on keeping them safe."

"For us patrol guys, it's just get in your car and we'll call if we need you," Lee said of the chain of command.
The partners were assigned to watch for potential problems at an anti-homophobia campaign in the African-American neighborhood of Leimert Park, at Crenshaw Boulevard and 46th Street.
In The Meantime Men's Group was conducting free HIV testing and passing out condoms on Thursday, which was National Black HIV Awareness Day.
Opponents had earlier covered up a billboard sign sponsored by the group that said "Homophobia, Racism and HIV Can't Stop Me," and the two officers were watching for any trouble. There was none, said the group's executive director, Jeffrey King.
Dorner's alleged rampage was portrayed by authorities as revenge killings for his termination from the LAPD.
Dorner was an LAPD officer from 2005 to 2008, when he was terminated, according to authorities.
The former officer claimed in a manifesto attributed to him that he was unfairly fired after reporting excessive force by a fellow officer, and he vowed to avenge his termination. He also served as a former U.S. Navy Reserve lieutenant who worked with river warfare units and a mobile inshore undersea warfare unit, according to Pentagon records obtained by CNN. His last day with the Navy was February 1.
Dorner is a suspect in a double murder Sunday in Irvine, California, authorities said. One victim was the daughter of retired Los Angeles Police Officer Randal Quan, who handled the appeal of Dorner's termination and, according to the manifesto, bungled it. Dorner appealed the case to a Los Angeles court, where a judge ruled against him in 2011, according to court records.
Multiple law enforcement agencies have linked Dorner, 33, to the shooting of two Riverside police officers in an ambush at an intersection around 1:30 a.m. Thursday. One officer, 34, died.
About 20 minutes earlier, police believe Dorner shot at two LAPD officers assigned to protect off-duty officers named in Dorner's manifesto, police said. A bullet grazed one of the officers, and the wound was not life-threatening. Damage to the squad car prevented the officers from pursuing Dorner, police said.

The Richmond Community Theatre has announced the upcoming 2012-13 season of shows.
The season will begin with "Crimes of the Heart" by Beth Henley, a heart-warming southern comedy. The McGrath sisters, Lenny, Meg and Babe rally in their grandaddy's house in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, amidst a family crisis. Prior to their reunion, each sister has been separately coping with unsavory predicaments, the results of the past. As they come together, they find the strength to reckon with the past and face their individual crimes of the heart. It will be presented Nov. 1-4 and Nov. 8-10. Auditions will be held Sept. 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. There are parts for four women and two men, ages 25-50.
Next, the theatre will present "Dial 'M' for Murder" by Frederick Knott. Tony Wendice marries his wife, Margot, for money and for the same reason plots her murder. He arranges, he thinks, the perfect murder. But the hired murderer gets killed by Margot and she survives. Will Margot be convicted? Or will Scotland Yard discover the truth and free Margot? This show will be a feast for suspense lovers. This will be produced Jan. 31, Feb. 1 - 3 and Feb. 7 - 9.
Finally, the season will finish with "End Days" by Deborah Laufer. Sixteen year old Rachel Stein is having a bad year. Her father hasn't changed out of his pajamas since 9/11. Her mother has begun a close, personal relationship with Jesus. Her new neighbor, a 16-year-old Elvis impersonator, has fallen for her hard. And the Apocalypse is coming Wednesday. Her only hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all. This production can be seen April 25 - 28 and May 2 - 4. "End Days" is a relatively new play that has critics rejoicing.
The Huffington Post said, "Both poignantly redemptive and often hilariously funny. I hope others will have the opportunity to see this special play. It begs the question of what we would hold most sacred if we knew the end was near. And it brings to life our broad range of choices, including laughter, and the treasured traveling companions who are there even when we face our own personal Armageddon."
This season, single tickets on a show by show basis will be $10. Season tickets are still $25, a 50 percent savings on the final show of the season. For arts philanthropists, there are three tiers of giving that will help the theatre with its operating budget. Community members who would like to become season ticket holders or financial sponsors of the theatre should contact Director Shelly Walker at email@example.com.
Richmond Community Theatre is located on East Washington Street in Rockingham, on Harrington Square.
