I’m just suggesting that stories from the MSM should be vetted a bit before we assume they are true. To do otherwise undermines our credibility.
The outrage is totally understandable, my plea is that we take our collective jeremiad where it can do some good. While some activist judge may enjoin this insanity soon enough, the permanent fix probably has to come from congress.
I also fear that individual agents will be subjected to threats & violence if people don’t remain rational. Let’s leave that to the left.
Fair enough. And, frankly, that's why I haven't posted the myriad of stories that are on blogs or in combox sections of web pages, as I don't want to spread half-truths.
But what do you suggest to do for validation? Wait until a second source has reported it? That means nothing. Look for video? Again, it means nothing.
No, nobody wants to see a TSA agent decked who is doing his or her job. OTOH, I personally have run into exactly two (since the creation of the agency) who needed decking. A significant minority...but they do exist.
