The other day... there was a news story 'bout a 93 yr old woman who fired at an intruder in her home. She didn't hit anything but the inside of her own house... but the perp fled the scene. 'Lotta similar stories as y'all know.
What ticks me off... is the compulsion by the news weeneis to add a note of 'doubt' at the end of these stories. In this case... the 'talkin' head' added: "No charges will be filed' (against the old woman). Charges for what?
I hear this kind'a crap over an over again... "Unkown if charges will be filed"... "Possible charges may be pending"... "So and so MAY face charges"... as tho defending yourself is WRONG! Is this promulgation and enforcement of the 'victim' mentality or what?
There was an incident several years ago... where a barber who occupied a place of business next to a small drug store heard a robbery in progress... (the druggist was shot) 'n the perp ran into the street brandishing the weapon at everybody. The barber grabbed his .38 S&W as the perp was on the sidewalk outside of his shop... Confronted this guy on the sidewalk and shot him dead. The news weenie was opining 'bout: 'May be facing possible charges...." like she knew what she was saying. The talkin' head was 'Sally Thorner' (uber-liberal) in Baltimore. 'Forget what station that was... WJZ maybe. 'Been awhile since I lived there 'n never goin' back. All participants were black... and it was in a hi-crime 'hood. They do this sort'a crap ALL the time! They constantly sow seeds of doubt. I was on the phone to their news room in about 30 seconds. Not that it mattered... but people have to be proactive about self defense and the defense of others.
There was a warehouse that kept bein' burgled... 'n the owners... (Brothers) stayed there at night to thwart future 'storehouse breakings'. The BG's did it again.... 'n the BG'swere armed. The brothers killed at least one of 'em... wounded the others. 'Held 'em for the cops. Big to-do about 'ambushing' the BG's. So... what are people supposed to do? Remain victims? These guys bypassed the alarm system... came thru the wall I think. This was their 3rd or 4th incident. There was more flak about honest citizens defending their lives and property than the BG's act of breakin' in. 'Course... this was The Peoples Demokratik Republik of Maryland.
'Nuff said on that area. :cuss: I had the good sense to leave (forever). :celebrate
Anytime you hear this sort of nonsense... contact the news room and complain. If enuff people do it... MAYBE they'll knock these anti-gun'opinions' off.
