Baton Rouge, Dallas police slayings are everyone's problem

First in Dallas and now in Baton Rouge, lone gunmen armed with AR-15 semi-automatic military-style weapons have killed police officers -- eight in all -- and wounded nearly a dozen others, some critically.

Police in both places say the killings were ambushes. In both cases the gunmen were African-American military veterans and were eventually killed by police in standoffs.

What these shooters were not, it appears, in any way affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

So a nut job white kids shoots up a black church and somewhere in his social media file there is a picture of a Confederate flag. Although he expressed no knowledge of affinity for Southern culture and history Confederate flags were banned all across the country. Black Lives Matter preaches hate and violence but some how they are not to be connected to these murders.

Stopped reading right there.

Ditto!

Lying statements like this is why liberal newspapers are not doing well. At least not with people that can read..../s

That was similarly my cue to halt.
I somehow made it past the predictable anti-gun screeching in the earlier sentences.

Me too. I bet at some point his AM dial crossed Rush Limbaugh. Remember when they used to try and connect everything to that? Double standard anyone?

The preceding message was brought to you (and written by) the DNC.

I don’t believe either used an ar-15. Let’s not let the facts get in the way of good propaganda

[jsanders2001]

But BLM protesters sure don’t protest online against the shooters. In fact they egg them on like Muslims watching the Twin Towers when fall.
Its also a lot easier to shoot officers when surrounded by thousands of people of the same color that you know won’t tell on you if you’re running from the police and duck in somewhere to hide among them. The shoppers may not be directly related to BLM but they will be found among them for the reasons mentioned.

If ya don't believe me, just ask my wife, Morgan Fairchild, whom I've slept with.

“First in Dallas and now in Baton Rouge, lone gunmen armed with AR-15”

No AR15 used. From that you know the rest of the article will be cr@p.

[Chainmail]

Neither one used an AR-15.

The slug in Dallas used an AK and the Baton Rouge killer used an Iraeli bull pup.

[tumblindice]

My cow died, I don’t need this bull.

[octex]

And, neither shooter used an AR-15.

Researching to find facts is a lost art to liberal media and their editors.

The Dallas cop killer was not a ‘sniper’ and used an SKS.

The BR cop killer was a member of the Nation of ISLAM.

I don’t think the firearm is the problem...

[piytar]

Me too.

[ilgipper]

Nope. It’s not. But the media narrative lies continue.

[JusPasenThru]

Guns don’t kill people. Trucks kill people. Very efficiently so it seems. Much more cost effective than bullets.

General Motors is the bad guy here. Let’s go after them.
