Another slaughter.
This morning, the media is awash with the usual detritus – liberal hacks demanding gun control, almost visibly re-zipping their pants after getting the news of a new mass shooting (other than the mass shooting that happens every weekend in Chicago, Newark, New Orleans, Detroit, Oakland, Stockton, and North Minneapolis; they’re only concerned about mass shootings of people who look like them)
But if you take anything away from today’s “news” “coverage”, just remember:
It’s the fault of the NRA and “Gun Nuts“.
UPDATE: Maybe the NRA was responsible for this, too?
UPDATE 2: Was Wayne LaPierre behind this?
UPDATE 3: MN’s gun control jackals are having an event at a “pride” event in Golden Valley today. Why do I picture Nancy Nord Bence and Ron Latz doing cartwheels every time news of a shooting comes through?
UPDATE 4: Darn that NRA!~
The similarities between the November attack on the Bataclan nightclub in Paris and that the shooter who appeared to target a gay dance club during the Muslim month of Ramadan “indicates an ISIS-inspired act of terrorism,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, said in a statement.
Intelligence officers are combing through terrorism databases to see if there are any known links between alleged shooter and a terrorist group, Schiff said. Multiple outlets, including CNN, reported Mateen made a 911 call before the attack, pledging allegiance to ISIS.
Whenever an event like this is in the news, I urge people not to believe the news media any more than usual for the first 72 hours; the difference between any ethical reporter and outlet and Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer is one big fat paycheck.
But all the signs so far seem to be pointing toward “terror attack in support of ISIS” rather than “crazy guy with a gun”.
