OF MEDIA AND MONSTERS

The mainstream media marches in lockstep with the White House in an attempt to convince the public that good people must give up some of the most effective defensive firearms they can have to protect themselves and their families, because bad people have misused them. A Fox Channel regular noted last month that CNN has become pretty much a 24/7 telethon for “gun control.”

Everyone knows that the twisted Adam Lanza was the one who murdered twenty little kids and six helpless adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School, yet few in our society can name Dawn Hochsprung, the courageous principal who died trying to disarm him with her bare hands and save the children. I hope I’m not the only one who wishes that this brave woman might have had the wherewithal to press a trigger and save 26 innocent lives including her own.

Now comes a revelation: police investigators have learned that Lanza was obsessed with exceeding the horrible “record” of murder victims racked up by the massively-publicized mad dog killer Anders Breivik in heavily-gun-controlled Norway in the summer of 2011.

Dorner receives sympathy in part because the LAPD has a long history of abuse of power. They lost my trust with their policy of legal theft of guns and their refusal to follow court orders to follow the law in the issuance of California CCW permits.

When a major police agency engages in an official policy of legalized theft and refuses to follow court orders over a period of 17 years and more, (both practices now being challenged in court, again) they have lost credibility on nearly everything.
