AR-15s are like the thunder of a bolt hitting a tree in a field about 100 feet from you - with ear protection in place.
From the crap reporting I’ve seen there was a rifle in the car, but he did his shooting with the pistols.
I used to think that the general quality of news reporting was uniquely bad in the US, and I’ve thought that ever since I started travelling internationally.
Then I read about the press coverage of Germany’s invasion of France in 1940. You want to talk about fraud.
I’d say the general quality of press coverage today is about on the same par. The decline of civilization is on, and accelerating, and you’d never know it reading a newspaper. That newspapers are going belly up is evidence of the market’s invisible hand at work.
“From the crap reporting I’ve seen there was a rifle in the car, but he did his shooting with the pistols.”
Crap reporting being the operative term. There was no rifle in the car, only a shotgun, and the victims were killed with .223 rounds from the Bushmaster. The conspiracy nuts are trumpeting a muddled news report that got the story wrong as it was happening, because it fits a narrative they want to spread. They conveniently ignore all the other reports that contradict that, or the acknowledgements from the media that they got some details wrong on the first day of coverage.
