what was the name

of the guy at the convention center that took charge and kept some semblance of order? I saw 2 or 3 reports on him before the feds got downtown. I would think someone from the press would have had him on by now

the citizen that did organize food and water, including breaking into the commissary at the convention center on the 3rd day. the man that got on the air with the reporter that was reporting from that location by the end of day 2

3. I just think

that the best way to counter the "dodge city/fort apache" mythmaking is to get the stories of heroism among the citizens into the limelight

4. I don't know his name either, but

He did do a few reports for CNN, if its the same guy I am thinking of. CNN had several stories of citizens taking charge of the situation as best they could. Another that sounds like what you are looking for is the chef and the crew he put together that broke into convention center and hotel stores along with a found backyard grill to make kitchen of sorts that fed several hundred people meals for as long as they had supplies.
