The post is good, but you really piled on the "topics". This isn't Arizona related, so what's it doing in the topics list? You're abusing the state sidebars.

The media spin is just beginning. Soon you won't hear the words "muslim" or "black", all you will hear will be "gun control", "poor victim", "racist America", "religion of peace", "military background", etc. If the shooter HAD fit the FBI profile/composite, the media would be in a frenzy blathering on about "white separatist", "gun nut", "anti-government", "right-winger", etc.

Ah ha. I posted this earlier today on another thread:

Someone just posted about FoxNews now not showing photos of the "youth" - which post was pulled and not sure why. It got me thinking that the advocates will probably try to have this [church-going] youth tried as a juvenile so he will only spend one year in a juvenile detention facility. It would be cruel and un-American to charge him as an adult when all he was trying to do throughout this crime spree was get to school or church so he could continue with his science studies or choir singing.

Well, the vitim flip has started. Watch how they turn this into these two perps being victims.

Well then, we'll just have to keep reminding them that they are radical Islamist, American-hating cold blooded murderers, won't we.

With all apologies to those in other states that feel offended by my post. I am sorry.

This is a serious issue that will affect all states IMHO, because the victim flip is a popular demorat issue that will apply to the elections in November.

Just watch what happens on the news shows throughout this week and on the Sunday talk shows.

So again, I apologize if you felt offended.

UPDATE:

Maryland wins the jurisdiction battle:

EXCERPT:

NBC already is referring to Malvo as a Teenager

I agree about media spin - but doesn't a person who is 17 years of age qualify as a teenager? Why is this breaking news? Why all the keywords? Why not document, over an acceptable period of time, all the media spin and then sit down and write a detailed, well reference rebuttal?

[Cyber Liberty]

It's OK. I was just being a crank.

I repeat: The post is great. I liked it. I just expended 24 out of 28 words whining at you for no good reason.

watching who's the boss reruns for the rest of their lives...

'Charles in Charge'. Much nastier...

[Mixer]

Well then, we'll just have to keep reminding them that they are radical Islamist

This morning on WABC radio (I previously thought it was WOR) they were refering to John Muhamad only as John Williams. They would not and did not once call him John Muhamad and they said the name Williams about three times. Well let me reming everyone so that noone forgets......

Muhamad
Mohamad
Muhhamd
Mohhamd
Usama
Osama
Muslim
Moslim

No matter how you spell make sure you mention it.

This is Islamic terrorism no matter what the news says. They want us to forget and we will never forget. They want us to let our guards down and this will never ever happen.

I kind of hope the libs try to victimize the perps. It will turn off a few dems and will ignite Republicans. Turnout is everything.

[VaMarVet]

Try This Link. Search terms are sniper, Muhammad, and Islam.

Hi Dave,

It's the subtleties (sp) that you have to read into. Teenager yes, but Virgina and Alabama execute under age 18, Maryland does not.

Maryland is where they will be prosecuted, and I belive that anyone that can distinguish between right and wrong, and a 17 year old can, needs to be held acocuntable for their actions. Period.



Thanks for the reply, though.

Sniper Suspects

[VaMarVet]

I get you and I agree with your point - just get disturbed sometimes with knee-jerk reactions here as they often get copied, posted, and warped on TOS sites. Also, I apoligize - you did not post this under breaking news - my bad.

[clintonh8r]

I agree. Joe Lunchbucket didn't buy the spin on Jihad Johnny Walker Lindh and he won't buy the spin on these murdering scum either.

[rbmillerjr]

Please ad CNNs Talk Back Live,,,,,,what er name Neville has an attorney on here focusing on 17yr old, 17,17,17.................

Then a defense attorney comes on and starts looking after Malvo's victim rights. He is a child you know /sarcasm off/

"He could be under influence of a dominant adult."

[freeperfromnj]

Part of their cover is different variations in the spelling of their names.

[Fred Mertz]

At least the radio station (WTOP) I'm listening to is referring to them by their EVIL three/full names.
