But his initials are chris mentz.

Right ...

Let's not reverse engineer ourselves into discovering we are being attacked again and again by Satanic influences, not the least of which eminate from the white mosque.

"Let me be very clear: I will not name the shooter." Sheriff John Hanlin

Yes, but we'll name the Puppetmaster:

Barack Obama and his Christian Control agenda

"While arrest or conviction rates and the death penalty reduce "normal" murder rates and these attacks lead to new calls from more gun control, our results find that the only policy factor to have a consistently significant influence on multiple victim public shootings is the passage of concealed handgun laws."

Chris is the man who tried to stop the shooter, and was shot 7 times.

Great cartoon. I really wish the mainstream media would get a clue.

Here's an interest article about the effect, written back in the 90's:

Ethical Problems of Mass Murder Coverage In The Mass Media

[rktman]

WOW! Really bad on me. And, I knew it too. Guess I need to put myself on restiction. Prayers up for Mr. Mintz. My deepest apologies for that one.

[knittnmom]

Not entirely your fault. I had to read that part of the article twice.

[esopman]

My bet is the sheriff got ‘the word’ from ‘above,’ and the name is an Arabic one.

Don’t be sorry. It happens. We all have knee jerk reactions. Just need to do in moderation.

About 3/4 through This Clip, the shooter's father is interviewed

Listen to the accent

[kabar]

Chris Mintz is the name we should know about. Not the other guy.

We should know about both. I find all of this very odd. We are now seeing stories in the MSM that we should not disclose the names of the perpetrators or give them any publicity. The police and politicians are echoing it. Yet, in the case of the church shootings in SC, there was no such compunction.

Something very strange is happening with the coverage of the shooter in this case. Is it because Chris Harper-Mercer is black or that there is a Muslim connection or both?

[matt04]

Lat I knew the shooter was white. Supposedly he asked his victims to state their religion before shooting them. Not clear if their was a right or wrong answer to that question.

[kabar]

The shooter described himself as mixed race.

[Boogieman]

No, we know who the shooter is and that is not the case.

[Boogieman]

Sounds Welsh to me.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Anyone notice there are never mass murders at gun shows?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Mom is black, dad is white.
