There is evil everywhere.

The police CAN’T be everywhere. Not enough of them.

The good guys with guns also can’t be everywhere, for much the same reason.

That’s why YOU should be the good guy with a gun whereever you are.

> Was killer a registered Democrat? Hummmmmmmm.

Aren’t about all of the horrific killings during this president’s watch committed by leftists that would be registered Democrats if they voted? I don’t think we’ve had as many shootings duiring any other presidency. Might it be the environment he created with Soro’s help not to mention some previously appeared to almost be pre-planned shootings which is significant with a president who wants to abolish gun ownership? I can’t think of any conservatives types that have gone on shooting rampages.

:: of course the left wing reporter and cameraman were unarmed and untrained ::

As well as having Mssr. Huppke writing about it aaaaallllll the way from Chicago.

Really, the staccato sound made his heart leap?
Because, Mssr. Huppke, you had another article in which you can vilify “guns” but not (no, never, ever, never) the evil heart of the wielder? And where is your “heart stopping” article regarding the shooting of another innocent child in the “Back-of-Yards” neighborhood over the recent weekend?

Virginia seems to be quite safe for you, Huppke. Please, let ^Don Capone^ know that you have properly deflected the story away from Chicago.

LIBs are really conflicted here. If the mentally ill are taken off the streets, then, the number of LIBs in mental institutions will grow exponentially. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

You got me, I have no facts.

Just based on surveys that show reporters are dominated by the left wing.

Cameramen though have never been shown to have the same amount of domination by the left wing as the reporters have.

A Black queer, with pre-meditation, murders two straight, White individuals.

If this isn’t a hate crime, I don’t know what is.

Sadly, I don't think that would have made a difference here. They were so focused on their live interview that they didn't see the guy until he started shooting. At that point, even the best armed and best trained person is in a world of trouble.

Male prostitute, black racist, anti-gun, Democrat and murderer.

"of course the left wing reporter and cameraman were unarmed and untrained"

And smugly proud of that ignorance. They were not responsible for their own lives, since that is the function of the all-seeing, all-knowing government.

Someone on Fox just said that the cameraman taped the killer being escorted out by the cops when he was fired. That is obviously a good reason for a pole smoker to shoot him.

I do not apologize for believing that homosexuals are self constructed emotional cripples. Add to that the sociopathy of an entitled racist, cuddled by a Liberal society and encouraged by his own co-workers. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

I've heard that combat cameramen feel immune from what they are seeing through the viewfinder. I wonder if the media tends to expand that to the entire world?

You are right about the Dad; I don’t blame anyone thrust into the limelight as a result of such a horrible act as his daughter getting killed on live TV for wanting to do “something.”

Not a gotcha question. I was a member of the news media for years. I actually knew other reporters that weren’t left wingers.

The dad lets the emotion run over his reasoning (if he is not a lefty in the first place) and will be used as a willing tool to suppress others’ freedom.

Sorry, not a good example. And I will blame him for his action.

“That’s why YOU should be the good guy with a gun whereever you are.”

Exactly. In my view, “common sense gun control” should require all citizens to be armed. I propose a law that fines any citizen who is robbed or otherwise assaulted, when they are not armed to defend themselves.

It doesn’t have to be much, say an amount like a serious traffic ticket, $500.

And like the Soviets who reportedly charged the criminal’s family for the cost of the bullet, I’d make the fine chargeable to the estate if the unarmed victim is deceased.

Then there would be a lot more “good guys” with guns. Oh, mandatory training could be provided by the local sheriff or obtained at your own expense.

Not just used, but fetted, reinforced, praised and honored for being a willing tool.

Right up until the point where he outlives his usefulness and really starts believing what the Progressive machine is filling his head.

Just like with Cindy Sheehan.

Shouldn’t we be going 24/7 breaking news that a racially-motivated, hate-filled man attacks and kills and wounds several people of the opposite race? What’s that? The attacker was black and the victims were white? Never mind.

It is obvious that the cause of all of this was the rainbow flag. We must ban the gay flag as it appears to drive gay people to do irrational things. Ban the flag! Do I really need to say this is sarcasm?
