U.S. Politics

I haven't read the report yet so without the context for the deaths I'm not sure what to make of this story, but it does seem rather alarming.

The United States joined the ranks of the world’s deadliest countries for the media this year, with a total of six journalists killed. Four journalists were among the five employees of  the  Capital  Gazette,  a  local  newspaper  in  Annapolis,  Maryland,  who  were  killed  on  28 June when a man walked in and opened fire with a shotgun. He had been harassing the newspaper for six years on Twitter about a 2011 article that named him. It was the deadliest  attack  on  a  media  outlet  in  the  US  in  modern  history.  Two  other  journalists,  a  local TV anchor and cameraman, were killed by a falling tree while covering Subtropical Storm Alberto’s extreme weather in North Carolina in May.

What a crock of excrement.

I'm OK with them using the shooting in Annapolis as they were targeted specifically because of their profession, and your gun laws make it possible for anyone with a grudge and a few bucks to go blasty-shooty on anyone else they have a problem with. The two guys killed by a falling tree while covering a storm though? C'mon.

True on the first point, but you know this is going to be presented as though they were attacked out of a political agenda and not a personal grudge.

I'm getting intimately acquainted with NY gun laws as I start the process of getting strapped. It's going to take half a year.

Big if true.

But seriously wouldn’t be shocked at all.

The woman in pink looks like me trying to get up and go for the first pee of the session after five pints on an empty stomach.

This was cute. Actually passing legislation to limit police power and abuse would have been a much better expenditure of their time.
