To liberals, appearances are more important than reality. When a wannabe puts on an imitation bullet proof vest or an imitation Presidential Seal, they are willing to pretend that both are real.

True, as Obama has said, he did not get the money to buy the weapons and gear by himself, Obama and the federal government paid him to buy them. An exhaustive audit of Holmes' financial sources/resources should be a high priority.

He didn't buy that equipment for himself, the Department of Health and Human Services bought that equipment for him. That may explain it.

I expect we’ll see the feminists, gays, occutards, and liberals of all professions writing about how they’ll never buy anything from Tacticalgear.com ever again!

We’ve had 50+ murders in Milwaukee this year. Many by gun. Many affecting minorities. Many by people with previous records who are free due to “second chance” and early release bleeding hearts.
When do the flags go to half mast for the thousands murdered due to failed Democrat policies in American voter inner city ghettos?

Good info there, but emphasis should also be on the fact that no body armor is bulletproof.

Well, that's true, of course. But what I found so outrageous was that the media didn't confound, say, a level II balistic vest with "bulletproof". They confounded a light nylon shell with a ballistic vest, period.
And then used that as a hook to somehow demonize an internet vendor for selling a product that he never even sold
Every time I think they've hit bottom, they break out the shovels and start digging.
