I will note that after Dylann Roof shot up a church there wasn't as much uproar about gun control as there was for this. Why is that? When he shot up a church what took the heat was the Confederate Flag which was interesting to witness. Now we have a killer who specifically states in his manifesto his inspiration was from idolizing past mass shooters. But the blame is still the gun, somehow.

Unbelievable

That's a great movie. I loved it until it hit me how accurate it probably was.
I engaged some twitter troll who was calling for more "sensible" gun control. I asked what specific "sensible" steps would have stopped this specific shooter.
He said it wasn't about this specific shooting, we just need less guns in the hands of crazy people.
Fine, what specific laws do want to see passed that would keep a crazy person, like yesterday's shooter, from getting a gun?
End of conversation.
It's funny, violent crime in the US is declining and is now at levels not seen since the early 70's. You would think that would be a big story that the media would want to get out there. You would think the .gov would be out there screaming it from the mountain tops and taking credit for it. But they don't.
A Pew Research study found 56% of Americans think shootings are up from 20 years ago. Only 12% think they are down.
If 56% of Americans thought smoking cigarettes was safe and only 12% believed they caused cancer, the public would be inundated with news stories about the harmful effects of smoking. There would be congressional hearings where tobacco executives were raked over the coals. Oh, wait, that already happened.
The only logical conclusion one can come to is that, "if it bleeds it leads" is truly the motto of the media in this country. They are not concerned with sharing accurate information if it won't help their ratings or bottom line.
As for politicians' silence, a fearful public is a public that will beg them to take away their freedom and thank them for doing so. They value that over taking credit for the remarkable decline in overall crime rates.
This is suspect in WDBJ7 murder - ID'd by VA Police as Lester Flanagan, former employee. To his left, Alison Parker
NYT getting the new narrative ready... Not only is it because guns. But also the patriarchy.

So who is the guy in the middle who probably will probably have to go into hiding, after incorrectly being labeled the suspect?
Watching a couple of different local news broadcasts this morning.
Apparently nothing other than this shooting has happened in the last 24 hours. No other murders anywhere....nothing.
Hey, local news people, your narcissicism is showing.

Journalists seem to think they can remain above the fray. Sorry, when you're knee deep in sensationalizing it, sometimes, it might spill over. This is a tragic incident. But probably no more so than others that have happened around the country this week that we will never hear of.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe Calls For Tougher Gun Laws After Virginia Shooting
Never let a good crisis blah blah blah
Never let a good crisis blah blah blah
That guy is a very good friend of hers. I saw him interviewed last night. He could not say enough good things about her. The guy to the right is the dude she was goign to marry/had moved in with.
I listened to Smirconish on XM this morning. A guy from Newtown, CT called in. He didn't disappoint. Part of the discussion centered around the NY Daily News, and whether or not the media should show the videos or stills from the shooting. The Newtown caller said that they NEED to show the gruesome details so that "people in this country will wake up" and do something politically about guns.
I wish I had called in early enough to get on and rebut. Thinking things through rather than acting on emotion IS NOT SLEEPING. My lack of support for gun control isn't caused by a state of slumber. It is caused by thinking things through while being WIDE AWAKE! All the "common sense" gun control proposed was borne from emotion, not thinking. A thinking person clearly understands that not one "common sense" proposal would have prevented this. Go ahead and answer your own implied question. Would those reporters still be alive if we had universal background checks, 10 rnd mags, "assault" weapons bans? Heck, even registration. What the hell would that do? Why would a registered gun owner hell bent on getting revenge on society care if the gun is registered to him or not?
I'd like to ask the guy from Newtown some questions. Would those two news people be alive today if the shooter would have sought help for his mental condition? Would they be alive if the shooter would not have had the psychological suggestions from the days and days and days worth of wall-to-wall coverage of every high profile shooting in the past several years? A 'yes' answer to those questions has a much higher chance in the world of reality than to his implied quesiton.

Never ever face the real reason for these incidents. Never ever use your brain for anything past a door stop.
The gun is merely a tool not any different than a hammer. Hammers have been used to kill/injure so many people but that is not part of the Bravo Sierra movement to dis-arm the population.
Another violent gentle giant, wonderful.About the douchebag ****heel assassin.....

National media now telling you those victims had it coming. Dude got passed over for a job he wanted, and shot the people that got it. Sally Kohn thinks it makes total sense.
