    A good guy with a gun stops the bad guy

    Not sure if this was posted prior, but I don't really care anyway. I may post it over and over....lol. Why aren't we seeing a ton of coverage on this (rhetorical question)? Many lives were probably saved. Oh, and forget airlifting this nut and all the associated costs of keeping him alive!

    Pretty obvious why mainstream media would not want to talk about that one. The puppet masters would not be happy if they did.

    Great job done by the hero in this story. Takes a lot of guts to step in there and do the right thing.

    It was all over the news here. And there's been national coverage.

    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...806-story.html
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...lorida-peace-/

    Did a web search and found that while CNN didn't cover it well, Fox definitely printed it coast-to-coast.
    Guess each has an agenda. Our mission is to find the truth (almost always in the middle).
    Personally, I wish they wouldn't cover either side at all. At this point, it's probably the best answer to it.
    I'm not happy to see anyone dead, it ended as well as possible. The gunman made a grave error.

    Yeah, because we don't want the good guys with guns saving lives stories to muddy up the anti gun campaign...

    Notice I said BOTH sides not covered. I'm tired of bad guys getting press.
    Kind of like lobbying, there's no 'good payoffs' in the game, period.
    I'd like to see the notoriety for both sides just disappear in the sunset.
    Press from either side has seemingly only exacerbated the issue entirely.

    Not on 2 local channels here. Didn't see it on ABC nightly news with David ( yes I'm a bought man ) Muir ) But when there is a shooting ( could be one person shooting another ) it makes the news. Mainstream media is controlled and only fools can't see their agenda.

    So, like I said, in your world the good and proper use of firearms shouldn't be covered. I suppose you think a civillian rushing into a burning building to save someone shouldn't be recognized if an arsonist started the fire. I agree with not giving publicity to the bad guys, but the good guys should be lauded.
