I wonder if Ray Kelly ever gets sick to death of Bloomberg? Kelly strikes me as much more competent in any given situation than Nanny Bloomberg.

MSNBC interviewing witness. witness says shooter wore tan pants, NBC reporter responds, “are you certain he wasn't wearing military or army pants.” witness says no, tan.

This is a journalist in 2012.

Even 20 short years ago it would have been: What, if anything did he say? Where were you when it happened? What did he look like? What did you see/hear?

In 2012 to hell with covering what took place- we want to show this guy was a right-winger..and you, witness, are not cooperating.

In the NE those pants are referred to as "Khaki" pants..if they had used that word they could have subliminally built a intended visual to their viewers..

I think he may have been more in "designer chinos" ;) that blows their "image" building.

DID anyone hear the witness on FOX just say that she was walking and someone fell at her feet but she did not know he was shot so she carried on walking.

HUH, What if there was no shooting and the guy had an heart attack what the hell is wrong with some people that they see someone drop but they just carry on walking and ignore it

Eventual report: "A witness said he saw the shooter in tan pants, and could not say if they were military or army pants."

heard the woman on CNN say how could a shot gun fire so quickly she would not have thought that.

Idiots, they have no clue about guns.

From The New York Post:

Eeerily, just minutes before the mayhem, Mayor Bloomberg was warning about the dangers of “too many guns on the streets” on his weekly radio show.
“The argument guns don’t kill people, people kill people is one of the most disingenuous things you can say,” he said shortrly before 9 a.m. while discussing tougher guns laws being proposed in Albany.
“It does take a person to pull the trigger, but if they didn’t have the gun... We are the only developed country in the world with this problem.”

I’ve been saying for years that the media are the biggest enemy we have in this country.

If we get power back i hope someone gets some bals and investigates how the media lied and cvered for their messiah and then get out there and call these turds out

In your link we see a photo of a white woman on the ground trying to help a black woman who’s been injured- it strikes me this is more of an ordinary picture of America (I don’t mean the violence) - someone hurt and someone else trying to help- REGARDLESS of either one’s skin color. I know it’s a small thing- but it goes against the grain of popular racist thinking in a stark way.

I always grab the Post when in NY. About the only Paper media that I read if out.

Excerpt: "Eeerily, just minutes before the mayhem, Mayor Bloomberg was warning about the dangers of “too many guns on the streets” on his weekly radio show.... “The argument guns don’t kill people, people kill people is one of the most disingenuous things you can say,” he said shortrly before 9 a.m. while discussing tougher guns laws being proposed in Albany.

SLAP!

Maybe New Yorkers wouldn’t be so testy if they were allowed to eat transfats and super-sized sodas.
