Leave it to our press to get it wrong in the most press covered city in the world. Then again, I guess that is what they do. At least they didn't say she was in the Tea Party."Afro" American? Seriously? Are you 30 years behind the times? Or only 25?
Here it is, deep into the news hour and I noticed something.....no one cares about this woman. She apparently did no shooting and I have heard that she was Afro-American. The only people to shoot were the police and that they did with reckless disregard. I am pretty certain that someone has video unless the police have confiscated it. There was a report of the report of the police fanning out speaking with everyone with a camera. So are we going to believe the story that we get. Seems to me that the liberals should just be fuming about police brutality. Except I guess it is like the actor Ron Silver when he was outraged by an overflight of jets when Clinton took office, someone said they're our jets now. So those police belong to the left now.

If that is all you got then you can go fuck a goat. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornNo thanks. I don't want your sloppy seconds.

Under the guise of political correctness (thanks liberals) we sacrifice accuracy. If that is all you got then you can go fuck a goat.

It is sad to read this string of posts a day into the fact finding of this incident. Every white hot political talking point you can name was summoned up to support or disprove the posters' points, all sadly bereft of facts. All this happened in a 24 hour news cycle. Shouldn't we all take a deep breath and wait a bit for a few facts? Nobody attempted a mass shooting with an AR-15. History seems to be teaching us nothing. Every high profile event that pops up on CNN or the Internet is hyped beyond reason and fact until the next incident comes along. Ex-journalists, now news anchors, bleat as if every incident forebodes Armageddon as if this is the only happening that matters and it has never been this bad. The government has been shut down numerous times before 1995-96 and nobody remembers that Tip O'Neil, Walter Mondale and Ted Kennedy contrived it to resolve internal Democratic party politics. No one in the news media derides these guys like they do the Tea Party favorites. We all need to take deeper breaths and read a little more history. The irony is that it is more readily available from the very media, the Internet, that fuels some of the hysteria. Originally Posted by trident60Wow! Good post! +1
