CNN bias:whitewashes shooter {shot in air}protstng Cindy

[oscar111]

really disgusting bias today:
my paraphrase from memory

"A neighbor

DID HIS BEST

to discourage the protestors camped out near the Crawford White House. He shot his gun in the air to discourage them. "

If someone shoots in the general direction of another person, isnt that viewed as criminal violence?

Or is shooting "in the air" now OK in the US?

"did his best" is incredible slant. Introducing the violent element of gunplay into a peaceful situation is hardly doing one's best.

footnote: CNN radio, about midnight eastern time, Sun-Monday midnight. Does AOL still own CNN?

1. if it was live ammunication, the buck shot will fall some place

and someone could get hurt

[oscar111]

3. I have read of falling bullets killing folks. Comes down with

great impact. Dont recall if it was a shotgun. Shotguns can fire a single large bullet, BTW if memory is correct.

4. bullets definitely, shotguns, less probable

6. AOL owns timewarner. you got it backwards, friend

sorry to seem so conflictual, but i am 95% sure it was AOL that oddly ate the big guys.

correct me if i got it wrong.

hard to keep up with tthe formation of monopolies since the GOP forget all about the

SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST ACT

of ? 1911?/

werent you all around then, reading the newspapers in 1911?

8. shooting to frighten - a crime?

regardless of whether falling shot would harm, isnt it a crime to try to frighten folks by shooting?

And beyond that matter, is the incredible slant put on it by CNN.
"doing his best" is a lighthearted, positivist term. Has no business being applied to a thug injecting gunplay into a peaceful situation.

7. In the county I live in in New York

He would have been charged at least with Menacing. Too bad it wasnt up here in yankeeville. A jury of the people up here wouldnt take kindly to that kind of intimidation of people exercising their civil rights.

9. Imagine him shooting in your downtown area near a protest march

in my downtown area, he would have been tackled and cuffed fast.

bail - none.

sentence - possibly a year in prison. Not sure on that.

[ispeculate]

10. Im not even in downtown...

I'm in Nassau County 1/2 hr away from NYC. Dont mess with New York. Even the cops are libruhl morans.

Of course Im kidding. Maybe exaggerating a little bit but hey...this is intimidation plain and simple. Im sure since he lives next to W he's "protected".

P.S. What the hell happened to my country?
