...and the media joins in the blood dance
Now forgive me for asking this...but is it me, or is the media trying to provide an "excuse" for the pile of human feces that carried out the Trolley Square attack?
Umm...MSNBC you need to pull your head out of your anal orifice* and realize that murder is a heinous act that is not excusable. It certainly isn't going to be accepted any time soon by the survivors (especially to the family members that lost a loved one).
*trying to cut down on the "language" on the site, I know some of you have kids.

By the way, I was changing stations on the radio, and ended up listening albeit briefly to NPR (KUER here in Utah). Doug Fabrizio, who runs the evening program had one of his "experts" on who claimed that civilians have neither the skill or ability to have averted the tragedy in Trolley Square. She (I don't remember her name) went as far as to sarcastically question why CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit) holders never stop these incidents from happening.
I tried to call the show, only to find that it was a rebroadcast. My comment would have been: "quite naturally all these horrendous attacks occur where guns are discouraged or outright prohibited!!!"
When was the last time you heard of a shootout at the NRA Convention, police station or at a gunshow? The criminal would have a lifespan of about 1-2 seconds before being converted spontaneously to human hamburger.
Also folks, some of us "civilians" DO have access to tactical training and have been in the military (where you face far more horrible threats than a street punk with a Glock and an attitude (Not referring to Trolley Square).
This will be the last post I make about the Trolley Square incident, I'm tired of recieving emails about how I don't know what I'm talking about, or how I'm insensitive to the person who carried out the act (Yes, I actually recieved one that said I should not judge the scumbag). Tell you what, you take your "feelings" and next time a gunman shows up with the intent to do harm - stick your head between your legs and let Darwin take his due as you obviously don't value life (yours or others) enough to have the desire to continue respirating.
Now in conclusion, I happen to respect LEOs a great deal. They do take great risks, and some of them are very close friends. The officer that did take on (alone no less) the madman at Trolley Square is a hero - no doubt about it. However, those that claim that LEOs have some magic ability with a gun that a civilian could never have are living in a fantasy world of their own.

Of course they think only cops should carry, unless it's a celib's body guard. Hmm, I know lots of folks that served in the military that never became cops as civilians. I'd trust their accuracy in a hot altercation.
Just what sort of recreational substances are these people using?
The shooter was stopped/pinned down by an off-duty, waaay-out of jurisdiction police officer, with his private CCW pistol. In other words, a civilian. Yet the local VPC, in a triumph of adolescent thinking (literally, the chairwoman was quoting her nine year old son, apparently), is shouting that civilian ownership/carry of firearms is the villain.
The shooter used a PUMP SHOTGUN, yet Rep. Carol McCarthy misquoted the tragedy (doubling the number of deaths, for one thing) as an opener for introducing a bill to reauthorise the expired federal 'AWB'.
A reporter for the local paper asked the police Public Affairs people if this was an example of 'excessive use of force' by the officers that took down the shooter.
And for bonus points, this 'troubled youth' (who just happened to be a young male muslim) is sure to be counted as a 'child killed by a gun' by the Brady brain trust.
I'm just scratching my head and wondering why 'gunshow loopholes' didn't make it into the story.
I swear, political correctness will be the death of me yet, if the liberals get their way.
