The old media know about the copycat effect. They do not care that their promotion of mass killing costs lives. They believe they gain political power, they know they gain profits.

The gunman singled out Christians for execution. Yet I heard nothing about his conversion to Islam or any “Allahu Akbar” rantings during the assault. So the question arises: did he not convert or rant, or is the enemedia covering it up?

It’s a shame we have to think that way, isn’t it?

Has any of the old media mentioned Hate Crime for picking out Christians for execution? Has Obama ever said we need criminal control before we try gun control? Has he mentioned that two weekends in Chicago usually have more murders than this incident?

Yes, there's the copycat effect, and there's the "Thomas Becket effect".

Obama has famously been up and down and across the nation, shouting from the podium:

Will no one rid me of these troublesome Christians?

Barack Obama's Oregon mini-me seems to have obliged his wishes...

Heard the shooter’s father on the news talking and seemed he had an accent, possibly Irish. Anyone know?

Part of the problem is the 24 hour news cycle. With that much time you have to fill it with content. And let's be honest, how many of us were glued to either the radio or tv yesterday to watch coverage of the event unfold.

We are part of the problem.

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?

Shot & Wounded: 1971
Total Shot: 2319
Total Homicides: 396

http://heyjackass.com/category/2015-chicago-crime-murder-stats/

Death numbers from a city run by democrats - - with gun control laws up the wazoo....

Odd how President Obama and the press don’t care about these deaths. Could it have something to do with these deaths don’t push ‘democrat’ gun control lies?

Vester Flanagan........ The MSM moved him off the NEWS as soon as it could after the alternate media published the information that he was gay, Black and crazy like his “IF I HAD SON” prototype.

Endless promotion of these tragic events and the publicity given to the perpetrators is far more of a causal factor than the Second Amendment.
