ABC Calls Rushing Shooter En Masse 'Great Advice'—But Criticized Ben Carson for It

When last month Ben Carson suggested that people confronted by a shooter should rush him en masse, ABC ran a story criticizing him, claiming that Carson "appears to be second-guessing" the victims of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

But on ABC's Good Morning America today, in the wake of the mass shooting in Colorado Springs, guess what an expert suggested? "If you can get other people to go with you, that is extremely important, in fact, that's one of the teaching tools today in schools is everyone at mass start throwing stuff at the shooter and go at him." So, did GMA host Dan Harris criticize the expert for second-guessing the victims? Of course not. He's not a Republican running for office. Harris called the expert's suggestion "great advice."

All of that comment is hypothetical. I’m not such an arm chair specialist that I can say for sure how I would react. I assume adrenaline, fear, doubt, hope ... Freezes many into inaction. I never think people as cowards, but figure they don’t have a Mental Plan and just freeze out or overload. It’s a shitty world and we need to fight for better.

We once had an honest truthful MSM that would recognize heroes like Clark Kent and average citizens and give them hero status.

The controlled bigoted political elites we call the MSM that we have monopolizing and influencing us today would project real heroes and even Jesus Christ as the devil incarnate given the chance.

They play us average schmucks as total illiterate fools to their politically correct and financial advertising advantage and never forget it.
