I feel for this father. But did he have to show up on TV within hours of his daughters murder? Is his hatred of firearms and gun people that strong that he has to be out there before her body is cold? I only see libs grieving in public. I never see conservative types do this. The death of family and close friends is a private matter to us. Libs really are sick people.
Mr. Stanley has just ended his political career...rightly so. Buh bye....
From Facebook:
CNN Politics
The father of #AlisonParker, the #WDGA Virginia reporter killed by a former co-worker this week criticized U.S. senators in the state for not reaching out to his family. http://cnn.it/1NMtAme
“The first official to call me was [Gov.] Terry McAuliffe. I have not heard a word from Sen. [Tim] Kaine. And I have not heard a word from Sen. [Mark] Warner,” Andy Parker said.
“I see the tweets and all of that stuff that says, ‘Oh gee, we’re sorry for the family,’ and I understand that. And I appreciate that, but I knew those two guys,” said Parker, who unsuccessfully ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in 2007 as a Democrat. “They campaigned for me when I ran for the House of Delegates. And it’s very disappointing that Sens. Kaine and Warner haven’t at least given me a call and come out against this,” he said.
Hopefully Stanley’s future political career is short-lived.
Sorry for your loss - really - but how many more laws can they make that surpasses what’s been done so far?
most liberals don’t understand that making a law does not stop bad things from happening. this guy was mentally ill if was not a gun it would of been a knife. if not the reporters it would of been someone else. the only way to have stopped this tragedy would of been hospitalizing him when he started to show signs of being mentally ill. the world had years to actually act on this tragedy and did nothing.
Dear Lord, spare us this plague of blithering idiots. Amen.
I will give this guy a pass. He’s in a whole lot of pain right now.
Not all the other idiots though.
I know this may sound insensitive but is anyone else just sick of this guy..First thing he does after his daughter is killed on TV is run to the media..I am sorry for his loss but it makes me sick hearing these victims families come out and demand that MY RIGHT to have a firearm and protect myself should not be allowed. Notice the media doesn’t show the interview of Vicki Gardner’s husband who did NOT blame the gun but instead blamed the man who HELD the gun..goes against the narrative doesnt it
Poor man is still overcome by grief. I can’t imagine the pain he is feeling.
Yep. Narcissism reigns for this guy. People die. Young children die. Get over yourself and go do the grief work you need to do.
I’m sure most here know why we cannot allow a means test for a firearm purchase. according to them we are the crazies.
Memo to Andy:
Yeah.... Good luck with that!!!
And what happens next week or month. Or even tonight. When three black gang bangers are offed by three other black gang bangers in Chicago drive by shooting?
NOTHING!!!
Any sympathy I once had for James Brady disappeared once the "Brady Campaign" began.Any sympathy I might have had for this guy disappeared the moment I finished this article.
I’ll cut the guy a break. He’s looking to find a reason for this tragedy and a way it may have been prevented, but there is no reason and there is no way it could have been prevented. No one could have seen it coming.
He just can’t see or understand that right now as he’s in the throes of anger and grief.
Sorry...can't agree.Intense anger...rage...contempt...for the pig who committed the crimes is completely appropriate.Anger toward Smith & Wesson...or the NRA...or the 2nd Amendment...is bullbleep.
I admit I am Cruz 100% but Trump grabs headlines and yet again hit it out of the park when he said, “this is a mental issue not a gun issue.”
Yes, Trump hit the nail on the head in one sentence.
So here's what we knew about the guy before he went on his diabolical rampage, Mr. McAuliffe:
1. He was a black man.
2. He was a homosexual.
3. He was an Obama supporter.
4. He couldn't keep a job.
Which of these would disqualify someone from owning a gun, in your mind? When you figure that out, then draft a law and see how far that gets you.
