It's just the double standards...had it been a child of Vince, would the show go on? I doubt it.

We can what-if all night long. I'm working on what did happen.

There were children in that audience. Would you come out and say to them "we're calling the show off because you just saw a man die?" I'm sure it was tough enough just for the parents in attendance to sit their kids down later and tell them what had happened; they had the right to deal with it in the way of their choosing. Had Howard Finkel or some equivalent come out and said "Owen's dead, go home" it would have caused serious confusion, as well as emotional shock. By finishing the show, they avoided making a bad situation worse. Was it the morally correct thing to do? That's an opinion. Would Vince have halted the show if Shane or Stephanie had died? Pure speculation. It's the decision I would have made.
