Since then, police continued to investigate the incident, including by reviewing video recordings that showed what happened before they arrived. In light of “all new evidence and video related to the event,” city prosecutors will dismiss the citation. 

Meanwhile, the city revoked the business license for LEAR Asset Management “for violating Coeur d’Alene city ordinances regarding security agencies and agents.” 

Though Coeur d’Alene city code requires security agents to wear uniforms “clearly marked” with the word “security,” the guards were in plainclothes, with no visible identifiers that they were security.

It's quaint of them to dismiss the misdemeanor battery citation issued to Dr. Borrenpohl for defending herself. I suspect the City of Coer d'Alene will be intimately involved in in the law suit.

Shoot. Them.

who refused to identify themselves or for whom they worked, then pulled Borrenpohl from her seat and dragged her out of the auditorium

Three unidentified men assault me, I'm shooting. It would be damned hard to get me to draw, get me into a situation I can't get out of, but this is clearly such a case.

(If you carry, or even have a gun in your home, you damned well need to understand the self-defense laws in your jurisdiction. They're often more restrictive than either liberals or conservatives think. It ain't the free-for-all either side believes.)
