Reminds me of the video on the NRA website about CNN rigging their story on assault rifles and showing fully automatic weapons instead of semis.

When Wayne called them on it, they bimbo got all defensive saying they would never do such a thing. Two days later they retracted the story.

If you haven’t seen it, check it out at the NRA website. It’s a classic.

Exactly - this is also reminiscent of the old Dateline NBC scam where they were trying to demonstrate that a certain model of pickup truck had fuel tanks that were prone to rupture and explode during an accident, but when they originally staged such an accident, the truck did not cooperate and explode. So the Dateline NBC producers and 'reporter' "helped" it along by strapping a burning incendiary device to the fuel tanks, which had the desired effect. Of course they never mentioned that part during their 'reporting'...

As for the shooter knowing in advance exactly where the armed "victim" would be sitting, of course that is rigged. Did 20/20 also conclude from their phony experiment that armed air marshals aboard commercial aircraft can not possibly be effective against would-be hijackers? If not, why not? The situations would seem to have much in common with hijacking scenarios, except that presumably the hijackers would not know in advance exactly who or where the air marshal(s) would be... (although presumably the air marshal(s) would have more training than just backyard airsoft, but then the CCW holders that I know do as well)...
