Editorial: Newspaper killings an attack on all Americans
San Jose Mercury ^ | June 30, 2018 | Mercury News & East Bay Times Editorial Boards |

The killing of five staffers at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper is an attack on all of us.

By us, we mean not just journalists — but all Americans. For the foundation of our country depends on a free press able to probe and report without fear of retribution.

Didn’t sound like an attack on journalism, but a revenge attack on specific journalists who “did him wrong” or so he thought.

I have a Jewish friend who came here from Israel, for college, after serving in the IDF.

Right now, he doesn’t want to go back, but I think he’ll change his mind when it’s time to marry. American girls just don’t get him.

FREE PRESS? Why don’t you just try being honest in your reporting.
Stop giving us your opinions and political views disguised as news stories, start telling the truth.

What a concept, huh.
Perhaps then we wouldn’t wish all you PROG/LIB/Communists dead, particularly the electronic media.

Wow, exactly right. You know, I have that book, but I can’t read it at night, it’s so evil. I’m convinced that Alinsky was possessed by a demon. It sure would explain the book’s dedication page.

Workplace Violence, nothing more, nothing less.

These Journalist types haven’t been dehumanized by the 2016 Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton have they?

You know, the Nasty Woman who called 63 Million of her Opponent’s Supporters “Irredeemable Deplorables”.

If it was up to Trump, these Morons would have been able to Conceal Carry to Work and defend themselves.

They are blinded by the same hate the Murderer had.

ponder this from a real demon the likes of which you’ve never dreamed possible.

Wow. Astounding. I hope you repent before it is too late.

And FR used to be a pro-God place.

Well actually it’s not and you are wrong. This was an attack on the people this sick bastard thinks wronged him: end of story. Go away this is not more than what it looks like.

Truly is funny. One side attacks civilians and espouses terror, the other only shoots in defense. Clearly evil will be evil. But to remain good in the face of that is quite impressive.

I remember hearing the city buses explode once a week in Jerusalem. Now that the Jihadi are behind a fence the death toll in arabs and Jews is a fraction of what it was.

“If the arabs laid down their arms there would be peace, if the Jews laid down their arms there would be no jews”

However the Muslims would attack their moslem neighbors because Islam must have an enemy to survive.

Amazing, the attack on a select few by a unhinged person with a specific grudge against a specific business becomes an attack on all Americans? These people just have to elevate themselves as ‘special’, what arrogance and conceit!

Occasionally news report would make it through the CNN cloud of concealment, about a bunch of Sunnis killing a bunch of Shia civilians on the way to a pilgrimage, or vice versa.

And I was like, you know, I think maybe it was the 30 years war, or the Treaty of Westphalia, or the Geneva convention, but didn't Europe get over these kinds of squabbles around 300-400 years ago?

I mean, so OK, we still have the problem with the occasional wimpy Serbian separatists blowing up an Archduke to prove that he *is too* good enough to join the Sinister Icy Black Hand of Death Club, and starting World War 1 by mistake; and sure, Europe had *real* Nazis, not just Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters *calling* people Nazis.

But the rest of the world ganged up on them and kicked their ass.

And (other than pre-King David times) you didn't ever see much of one tribe of Israel trying to wholesale wipe out another tribe, or anything.

What do you think is UP with them, anyway? Nobody else attacks their own civilians.

More kids are murdered in Chicago and Detroit in a weekend that journalists are murdered in a year.

Priorities of the media.
