It’s hard to predict which shootings will get front page news and which ones won’t… or is it?
Here at home, an Oregon Community College was shot up in October — by a mixed-race, half-black immigrant, Chris Harper-Mercer. Nine people were killed. It’s hard to remember every sensational crime, but that was just two months ago.
Last year, another mixed-race immigrant, Elliot Rodger, committed mass murder at a sunny college campus in Santa Barbara, killing twice as many people as Robert Dear did — in half the time! That seemed like a pretty big story to me, but the media passed over it pretty quickly. The Times has airbrushed it from history.
In 2012, Haitian immigrant Kesler Dufrene murdered as many people in Miami as Robert Dear did in Colorado Springs. One of Dufrene’s victims was a 15-year-old girl. Dufrene had already been convicted of a felony in the United States, so he should have been deported, but our “Deporter in Chief” Obama had blocked his return to Haiti. As the murdered girl’s mother said, “Because of immigration, my daughter is not alive.”
Have you ever heard of Dufrene? I don’t think his murders got as much press as the “Planned Parenthood” shooting.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Jared Loughner. But have you ever heard of Eduardo Sencion ?
In 2011, nine months after Loughner’s shooting spree in Tucson, Arizona, Sencion, a Mexican immigrant, shot up a Carson City, Nevada, IHOP, killing four Americans, including three National Guardsmen and a 67-year old woman.
Eduardo was a Mexican immigrant. The Times ran two stories on his mass murder — on Pages 17 and 18. By contrast, Loughner’s shooting got dozens of write-ups in the Times, including at least three front-page articles, three editorials and 10 op-eds.
ht/ just the tip
Geeee, Wally, I think I’m seeing a pattern here.
Color. .. no story.
White. . . LOTS of story.
I wonder, are the DeMSM presstitutes SO afraid of the uber-vocal minority of color, that they are unwilling to say the truth, for fear of more riots?
Or is it that the DeMSM presstitutes have an agenda to push?
Hmmmm. . . . .
Either way, I wish they’d hurry up and finish going bankrupt. (Like, which magazine was it? Newsweek? that sold for $1.00?)
So no one in Oregan has a CCH permit???
God, I love Indiana.
So the other night on the gun forum I asked a question. What defines a mass shooting?
Apparently all that needs to occur for it to be a “mass” shooting is 4 or more people get shot. Using this method to count “mass” shootings, there have been 355 “mass” shootings this year alone.
LOL!
Just look at all the “mass” shootings going on in Chitcago!

It’s not just print media and FOX news is as bad as any of them. There self appointed gun experts are driving me nuts. Last night Hannity spend 5 minutes telling his audience how he’s a highly trained expert pistol marksman with carry permits from California to new York. Then starts calling mags clips. If you’ve been to ONE decent Tactical Training class you would not refer to a Mag as a Clip.
It gets even better.
This morning on Happening Now Jenna Lee is interviewing her Co Host about California Gun Laws and how the weapons were modified to become assault weapons. This dumb ass said on national TV that when you remove the Cali Bullet Button the weapon becomes fully automatic. And it can then use high capacity FUCKING CLIPS. CLIPS. Ironically Jenna Lee is married to a retired Seal. She was probably cringing thru this entire episode. They should put her in charge of anything gun related.
Gangbangers in LA commit ‘mass shootings’ every week! And they don’t even bother to get out of their cars most times.
So, you can snip something off and the gun becomes Rambo capable? LMAO. Sweet!
They said it on FOX News. It must be true.
They’d get better experts trolling gun shows.
The only reason the MSM took off running with this one is because they originally thought they’d be able to blame it on Christians with guns shooting up an abortion clinic.
Lol, Brad. I was eating a bacon and egg muffin around noon CDT today and there was some dick on Fox going on about the vertical grip and the optics. He said these were items “his team” uses on their guns and the sights (should they be Aimpoints, etc.) were in the $600-$1000 range. He then says, no shit, an optic combined with a $600-$1000 rifle becomes an expensive and more deadly combination!
When he was talking about the vertical grip, he said that it made the gun function better, especially during CQB. LOL! I tell you what genius, I probably can run a 6lb flat top carbine with iron sights and standard A2 furniture faster than your guys lugging 10-12lb rifles!
I caught the tail end of that conversation. I missed the part about the bullet-button.
They’ve been showing pictures of the AR’s – and anyone with any observational skills could see that they weren’t modified to be fully automatic. I can’t see any pin denoting a auto sear installation, did you Brad?
I also saw a bag of stripper-clipped ammo which is absolutely worthless to have in a run & gun attack. You don’t spend time using those to load magazines in a battle. The media is lying and deceiving the ignorant population with impunity and they are getting away with it.
They also had “an expert” discuss the holographic sights that “make these weapons more deadly”. Bullshit. First, they weren’t holographic – they were prism based, red-dot sights – not holographic sights (which negate parallax). Even as such, they don’t make the weapon more deadly since they have nothing to do with the ballistic characteristics of the firearm.
I’m so sick of this shit.
Tsunami, all they did was remove the Bullet Button and replace with a normal Mag catch release. The Weapons were not machine guns. There are recordings of the gun fire. Obviously semi auto.
Red Dot, or Holographic, indoors, changing light levels, stripper clips, But in and out in under 3.5 minutes. Somebody gave them some instruction on the basic “Glimmer” routine. The FBI new it was a terrorist attack about the time they got the phone call.
Fair and Balanced Fox News is not helping the 2A cause.
Those vertical grips are so yesterday. Nobody uses them anymore. Everyone shoots AR’s Magpul style now and target acquisition is a lot faster. Inside 100 yards I’m an iron site guy too. If you want a good laugh someday go to one of those combo Handgun Carbine Tactical courses and watch the guys with expensive optics on their guns try and keep up.
I understand about the bullet-button stuff.
All I’m saying is that the media is deliberately demonizing semi-auto AR’s and AK’s wrongly because they are helping to pave the road for a ban on such.
Have you been watching CSPAN today? Boxer, Feinstein….et al are working feverishly to impose a new law / executive order on firearms.
I think ammo will be in short supply very shortly.
I read one story where they advertised “Chilling Photos of the Shooters Arsenal” and they show a picture of two rifles and two hand guns.
Do any of these fucking idiots get a chill when they see a picture of a terrorist holding a severed head? That’s what comes next if we don’t kill all these terrorist motherfuckers.
Not watching. Building guns as fast as I can.
Two Gun Legislation Bills were shot down today and Chuckey Schumer was balling his eyes out. With gun sales where there at I’d be surprised if they try anything that gets thru.
FOX doesn’t help when they report that the weapons used were automatic weapons and that’s exactly what was said. Was FOX doing it deliberately? I think so.
@ TSUNAMI: “They’ve been showing pictures of the AR’s – and anyone with any observational skills could see that they weren’t modified to be fully automatic. I can’t see any pin denoting a auto sear installation,…”
Are you perhaps thinking about an AK-47? That requires the ‘third pin” for the auto sear.
The AR just requires an M-16 lower parts kit, a full auto bolt carrier (to trip the auto sear) and removal of some aluminum in the lower receiver to accommodate that auto sear. No extra holes are required.
I too get amused at the pure bullshit that comes out of the mouths of the news taking heads. These people don’t know shit from shineola about ANYTHING.
They couldn’t tell you why man hole covers are round.
Yeah, if they used a drop-in auto sear (which I doubt), then yes it could have been an automatic.
It most likely wasn’t an automatic – especially since they stated the round count taken inside the 3 minutes they were there.
A true set of M4’s on full-auto could dump 6-8 complete 30 magazines for each shooter in that time frame. That’s between 180 to 240 rounds per assassin.
All this was, was some Muslim assholes following the Koran to the letter the way they understand it to be followed. They used store-bought, legal AR-15’s with the bullet button replaced with a normal mag release button and red dot sights – nothing more.
All this aside – the deception the media wants to project is that which gleans the greatest emotional response from America’s ignorant civilian population. They hate the 2nd Amendment, and they’ll never stop trying to disarm the American public. Ever.
Maybe we should start calling AR-15’s “Planned Parenthood Rifles”. Maybe then they’d leave us alone. Not.
In any event, California legislators are crafting a new AR-15 ban as I type this up.
Unfortunately, the cops are on OUR side and will not enforce this anti-constitutional crap.
Just watch what happens over the next year.
In the mean time, I keep building unregistered AR’s for my own personal use.
