[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2000531, member: 3553"] Hmmm...so of all the THOUSANDS of legitimate self defense stories that happen every year involving guns (most without a shot being fired), ABC news picks the most poorly handled ones. Wonder what they are trying to show....that gun owners are an irresponsible, unstable bunch who should leave their self defense to the "professionals"? They could have picked any story they wanted, but they deliberately pick this guy that shows folks who use firearms for defense in a bad light? Perhaps a prelude to attacking that crazy "castle doctrine" law"? I can't help comparing this to another case in recent memory, where the liberal media tried to attack the crazy "stand your ground" law. Earlier case as portrayed by media: Minority teenager, unarmed, going to buy himself an iced tea, gets caught in the wrong neighborhood by a wanna be vigilante with a gun who kills him. Unfortunately, the vigilante turns out to be a hispanic, so is portrayed as a "white hispanic" to make the narrative fit a little bit more with what media wants. Only pictures of teen shown are when he was around 11 - 12 years old, not the strapping man he was on the day of the shooting. Reality: teen is in trouble for dealing drugs, is violent and attacks the hispanic dude repeatedly. This case is even better for the liberal media. Here we have a legitimate psycho who is caucasian...so no dancing around here with phrases like "white hispanic". All we have to do is show his picture! Here we have 2 UNARMED teens, including a GIRL. Perhaps they were just out to find a quiet place to make out on Thanksgiving? And we have this nut job buffalo-bill serial killer type who has two evil weapons: a semi - automatic assault rifle AND a handgun. His attorney will perhaps uses some variant of the insane "castle doctrine" which will then be shown for the crazy law it is. Call me paranoid, but is there a pattern in the stories the media chooses or is TOLD to cover? to fit a narrative perhaps? :) [/QUOTE]
