The vast majority of defensive gun uses (dgu) are never reported to the police, or, if they are, are not recorded in official records, or reported in the media. Non-crimes are not required to be reported to police. Police are not required to report crimes to the media. The media are not required to publish reports of crimes or non-crimes.

Of course, the media are about as interested in reporting incidents of defensive uses of guns as they are in reporting misdeeds of the Clintons. But in today’s climate, if there were a news story about a shopkeeper who defended himself, “social justice” groups would single him out to attack him or destroy his store.

Meanwhile we still get ten minutes of Khashoggi every hour after 3 months.

The guy who was on Bill Frady’s Lock And Load radio show with you last week, Rob Morse, hosts a podcast that talks about these every week.

I read an article last week which listed New York State as having the lowest crime rates of all the States. Non recording of crime would certainly help them with their statistics.

If they don’t report that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy, did it really happen?

IF he shoots enough of em, he won’t get robbed anymore, the police won’t need to be called, and the reporter would no longer have a “story”. What’s so bad about that?....LOL

hummm well I wonder if it were only syr.com ONLY that declined to print the 1st self defense shooting and was it because the shooter was a minority?

Now if the other 7 syracuse news groups did not report the 1st shooting perhaps there’s a conspiracy of silence going on and who’s in charge there...that’s the story I’d like to read.

The police are not looking to protect you. They are looking to charge you with a crime.
