A one-sided Wednesday report at CBS News tried to convince readers that University of Tennessee-Chattanooga student Brenna Spencer's "I don't take normal graduation photos" tweet picturing her with a firearm generated significant "backlash."
To create a false impression, the network cited critical tweets from two users with a combined eight Twitter followers, ignoring far more significant support Spencer received, including two Second Amendment-supporting women with a combined 160,000 followers.
CBS's unbylined April 11 story only headlined "backlash":
Woman's gun-toting "graduation photo" sparks backlash online
A University of Tennessee-Chattanooga senior's graduation photo has generated controversy on social media. In the photo, Brenna Spencer is seen wearing a bright pink "Women for Trump" T-shirt with white jeans. A black handgun is tucked into her waistband.
Spencer shared the photo on Twitter Saturday and captioned the post: "I don't take normal college graduation photos."
Some of her followers praised the photo.

Of course they called the cops. Fidiots. Good on you young lady but sometimes discretion can go a long way.

No, you’re wrong and here’s why.
They are trying to deprive this young lady of her constitutional rights. Make no mistake about this.
Consequently they are actually guilty of a FELONY here, and somebody rightly needs to go to JAIL for what they did to this young lady, as well as get their ass sued off so badly they are all living under a bridge somewhere with a carboard sign, and workin’ the truck stop glory holes for some extra crank money.
Alternatively if they DIAF I’m OK with that.
We’re WAY WAY WAY past time to deal with these asshats.
To: rktman
The keyword ‘banglist’ has never been more appropriate for a gun thread.
So I added it.
She could nuke the world and she still wouldn’t be guilty.

So, who do you think would be more likely to be arrested? The callers or the young lady? Don’t know Chattanooga’s politics.

Liberals keep doing their best to destroy the rule of law.
They should be hoping that they never accomplish that!

The radio station 950 (WWJ) here in Detroit is a conduit for CBS’s Geobbels-class propaganda machine. Thank God for other sources of news.
To: Ace's Dad
I wasn’t the one who posted that but that was how I interpreted that acronym too.
Frankly I wouldn’t whiz on a media propagandist if they were on fire though.

Definitely not guilty but possibly jail bait.
