TV wants to talk to this guy before he kills himself and possibly others

The FBI is looking for a man named Ryan Chamberlain, who does political PR in San Francisco. They say he has a stash of weapons. He apparently just posted a Facebook note indicating the end is coming.

He is also keeping his Twitter feed going, apparently, and his latest tweet -- "A panicked update to my letter that should have posted by now. Nothing they're reporting is true. No "stashes." Not "armed and..."

brought these immediate responses, all from TV reporters in the Bay Area.

So this might be what people are saying about not glorifying these guys, huh?

But think of the ratings!

 

Anyone out there seen Network?

 

So, the FBI is looking for a political PR guy and says he has a stash of weapons. The guy says that's not true.

You're not going to try to hear from the guy? Do you seriously think Kurtis Alexander and Evan Sernoffsky from SFGate.com are not busting their asses trying to reach the dude too?

This is how news works. If someone is at the center of a story, you try to track them down and get their side of it.

 

In this case I think the smart thing to do would be not to interfere with a law enforcement investigation in which lives may be at stake. Gather the news later.

 

The best ending to this will be "Baba booey!" on live TV.

 

"Coming up, find out whether or not this man plans to kill you tonight while you're out with your friends. More at 11."

"Explosive materials" is awfully vague. Is this a suicidal guy who happened to have the wrong household cleaners or something more sinister?

 

Disagrees.
