Not suprising. Cowards are always fearful of the brave. And the vast majority of people inhabiting the MSM machine are cowards to the core.

FRANCONIA, N.H. -- Judging from his history of gunplay and boasting about violence, detailed in court records, Gregory W. Floyd was a tinderbox waiting for a spark.
The moment came last Friday, when the 49-year-old former Marine jumped into the middle of a deadly shooting, grabbed the gun from a dying policeman, and killed the man , Liko Kenney, 24, who had shot the officer.
Now Floyd is being hailed as a hero. But police reports, neighbors, and acquaintances paint a more complex portrait of a man who lived by his own code, and whose past, as much as his fast thinking in a critical situation on country road in Franconia, led him to such a bloody juncture.
When Floyd picked up the service weapon of Officer Bruce McKay, 48, and aimed it at Kenney, Floyd knew what he was doing.
In 1997, soon after Floyd moved from Townsend, Mass. , to Easton, N.H. , a residential community of about 300 next to Franconia, state troopers went to his house after neighbors complained of gunfire near his property. According to court docu ments, he told police he was trying to scare off bears that were keeping his son awake.

Entering INIT DP: from any ATEX terminal at the Boston Globe erases all hard drives. But that would be wrong.....
His house, a log cabin deep in the woods, is cordoned off by a rusty chain and four “No Trespassing” signs. A Globe reporter who approached his house yesterday was ordered off the property by a young man with a barking Rottweiler on a leash.
Release the hound!
The state Attorney General’s Office has said it will not press charges against Floyd, pointing out that he used justifiable deadly force.
bump for later
Trying to scare off bears and stopping a police killer in his tracks! What is the world coming to!!!
All I can see is a freaking brave HERO!!!
Sounds like Mr Warden is the only man with any common sense in this story.
What a horrible man, killing a cop-murderer in cold blood like that!
The Boston Globe is insane.
There. That's better.
Com’on now, don’t worry, The Globe knows what’s best for all of us.
The paper is an unusual concoction of whining, moaning and groaning, hand wringing, supercilious, self-centered meat heads.
Other than that, I really like The Globe.
BUMP

Simply INEXCUSABLE!!!!
EVERY liberal KNOWS you should always “go for help”!
The difference between wimps and real men.
It totally freaked me out,” she said. “He said it like he killed a rabbit.”
More like he killed a worthless scum! I sure hope somebody like him (and me too) are around when I am being shot at!
This is unbelievable...the guy is getting grief because he shot an idiot who killed a cop??
Wow! Someone who actually knows how to operate a firearm. What a novelty to the Globe!
I said that if this had happened in MA, the guy would be in serious legal trouble. I know my state.
And he has a CHAIN fence around his house, and it’s RUSTY!
What (deleted adjective, deleted noun)s they are.
I suppose to them it would have been preferable for the perp to be free to run.
That’s it, there is nothing else.
I bet he’s a hoot for a drinking buddy.
