You say “So let's not jump to conclusions”

Let's not jump FROM conclusions.

They are reporting a lot of FACTS that makes the guy far from some little innocent “poor guy.”

You could get a good job with obama’s team - or are you just indoctrinated with the PC logic. That ‘don't jump to conclusions’ left 13 dead and many wounded at Fort Hood.

READ the papers!

and as I said, this is MY neighborhood, a small rural area where everyone knows everyone _ and I worked for the local paper for over 20 years.

And not everything makes it into the papers - Put this all together, and it is far from jumping to conclusions.

There's a difference between jumping to conclusions and turning a blind eye. The latter resulted in the obama presidency...and Fort Hood.

If this is in your neck of the woods, then understand that I don’t have access to the same level of information.

Over the past some odd decades that I’ve watched the world go by I have seen far, far too many examples of both the federales and local law enforcement hyping things up then the media taking that ball and running with it.

Calibration isotopes and smoke detector parts have become “radioactive materials”, fender washers are “silencer part”, hydrogen peroxide, gunpowder and such become “bomb making materials”, etc.

Now...

None of this says I think the guy is necessarily innocent or otherwise undeserving of his fate. Especially if he was a user of child porn.

I’ll just leave it with the fact that I have developed a bit of a distrust for media reports of this kind of event. Especially when care seems to be taken to list otherwise legal items in a manner that makes things sound scary.
