Sac-Jack Loc: Sacramento, Ca

On Sunday, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater. The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people. He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming. It's like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant!


Now aren't you wondering why this isn't a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting?


There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone.

So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, it appears that the national media is treating it like it never happened.

Only the local media covered it.

The city is giving her a medal next week.

Just thought you'd like to know.

We won't see or hear of it. It would ruin the agenda of our current government wanna-be

Except it was covered nationally. It didn't get a big splash because no one was killed. There are many people killed everyday, national media can't cover every one of them. The detective recieved a medal on December 19th.

Another government conspiracy.

Media conspiracy is more like it, which is the same as gvt. conspiracy since you can't tell where one stops and the other begins.

If it bleeds, it leads. Journalism 101. You can send the story to your newspaper and it still wont get noticed. Has nothing to do with government; but everything to do with sales and profits.

Why do you think local TV's run Hollywood stories and tell us which movies took in the most money? Because the network also owns movie and entertainment industries and it is free advertisement for them. So it is also due to sales and profits.

Some say that there should be no news coverage of mass murders, but they do not own the newspapers or TV networks.

Ah yes, the need for an armed citizenry. How about not letting the guy get a gun!

Mate if all guns were confisticated, you could still obtain one.

Hey Doc ..... you answered your own question ..... the shooter was stopped by an armed deputy ..... the only time shootings are in the media spotlight is when it benefits the anti-gun folks .....

Absolutely agree

How many decades have marihuana, cocaine, heroin, etc. been illegal? If you are resourceful can you purchase these items? Are these jailable offenses? Absolutely, so confiscating all guns does not eliminate access to them, making possession illegal is not going to eliminate them.

The only fear I had in posting this will most likely come true, which is the

Guns don't kill people
People kill people

Debate

But actually a gun buy itself doesn't kill anyone, as a person that wants to shoot someone but doesn't have a gun doesn't kill anyone, ah so guns kill people! But I believe we all know that it's not the gun, it's the bullet, no the casing, or is it the gunpowder. It's all of these components. And it's just not any random person either, it's a very troubled person.

It's the senseless killing of innocent people that truly gets to me, be it by gun, drunk driver, a drug dealer adding chemicals to drugs so they can make more $, baseball bats, knives, hockey sticks, romantic walks along cliffs, etc.

I am in my mid 50's, growing up I knew my neighbors parents and kids, we got together almost daily at times, you knew when someone was bothered, nowadays maybe it's just me and where I live, but I am lucky if I can get a wave out of a neighbor, let alone any face time with them, I rarely see kids out playing with others, instead they play inside with video games. I will not go down the road of types of games though I do believe certain types of games do desensitize our youth. Our economy is such that both parents need to work to make ends meet unless you're one of the fortunate ones, so our kids are not really being raised by us. Corporal punishment has been taken out of the schools, it's child abuse to spank your child, etc. Many kids know this and use this as a direct threat back. We live in a world of immediacy now, the day my second son was born I was at work (construction) I came home to my father-in-law sleeping on the couch and was told my wife was at the hospital giving birth. Nowadays, while I am at work, I get an email, text or call telling me the suns out (okay in Washington in the winter that's a big deal) but my point being its immediate. I could go on and on.

I am not saying anyone is right or wrong in your opinions, all I am saying is I think humanity in general is losing that interpersonal touch as we go through each day, texting, emailing, playing video games, watching 1587 channels on tv, etc. We are losing this touch because of dozens of mitigating factors.

I know someone will call me a moron or an idiot, I know someone will agree, I know someone will disagree.

Lets all just hope 2013 is a great year (politics aside, but maybe they can even get their act together)

Great point Wabbit

Are you telling me the media only reports what benefits them?

The shock, the horror. How could this be?

The advertising and support dollars must be huge!

How can we make it impossible for creeps to get guns?We have many laws against illegal drug possession and we know how well that is working.We can't even stop illegals from entering the country.
