Spots that Don't Change

On Wednesday, August 26, a reporter and camera man from a Virginia TV station were shot to death while on assignment. The alleged perp had a grudge against the people and the station that arose out of perceived "racism" he felt he suffered at their hands. From his social media accounts, it seems he was angered because he'd made complaints, including to EEOC, and got fired anyway. Outraged at the criminal attack on a church in Charleston and the racist tone of the suspect in that case, he fumed at treatment he felt he'd received at the television station -- according to his manifesto, run on ABC News, available online. A fan of the Columbine shooters and the Virginia Tech shooter, it appears he fed off of criminal assaults committed by marginal people. Being apparently marginal himself, he turned this anger into rage and even shot video of his attack on the two television workers – which could well be the only work he ever did for which he'll be remembered.

Predictably, those in media and political circles who tend to statist views called for gun prohibition. They didn't even wait for the bodies of the dead to cool before they began advancing their agenda. In the same way they've done since 1968 – think Bobby Kennedy – these likewise marginal people did the same things they've always done: complain about private ownership of firearms.

This was in spite of warning flags about the suspect which included the fact station management had to call police to the station to get him to leave when he had been fired. In a rare moment of raw truth, the following was reported by the New York Post online edition: "(Station Manager) Marks insisted that despite all the warning signs, they never imagined anything terrible to happen."

Really? His social media accounts showed the seething hatred – much of it advanced by the current administration and by Big Media. All you have to do is look.

The police acted stupidly – which leads to a beer summit. George Zimmerman. Ferguson. Baltimore. Charleston. The meme is that America sucks, if you have a particular skin tone, accent, gender, gender preference – now if you elect to have surgery to be something you're not – then you must be a victim. The attacker's manifesto lists the reasons he was offended; he didn't hit every single victim group, but he was getting close to it.

The statists always play one off of the other. It's their stock in trade. We've seen it before.

Kristallnacht comes to mind.

Divisiveness is order of the day.

Nearly immediately, Clinton associate McAuliffe, Governor of Virginia, was one of the first to dance in the victims' blood. Never let a crisis go to waste. Then the presidential press secretary came out, decrying the lack of Congressional action to act against the will of the people.

Meanwhile, the consolidated news service was in a full-on panic. As noted by a world class firearms trainer, no U.S. media personnel have been killed inside the U.S. since 2007. Compare that to the number of cops killed this year, in no small measure assisted by the atmosphere of hate perpetrated by the federal government and their lapdogs in media. No one really seems to give a damn about that.

Meanwhile, the loser we have to thank for this latest flummery tried to kill himself. A failure to the bitter end, his desire to commit suicide apparently exceeded his skill – it took most of the day for him to die. At least he won't be looking for someone else to sue because his lack of talent just has to be the fault of other people.

Just because you're not in a high risk trade doesn't mean you are safe. That's delusional thinking. You must keep your head up and your eyes moving. And put the damn cell phone away. If you see someone, look at them. In the only bit of video the suspect ever did that anyone will ever see, his victim appears to look right at him. It's the look that doesn't see.

The idiots at "move-on.org" said not to argue that "if she'd just had a gun" there would have been a different outcome. They ignore the heroes of the Amsterdam to Paris train. They didn't have guns either – fewer may have been injured if they had – but they didn't look away or get lost in their phones.

They took action.

You must as well. Let your reps and senators, at the state and federal level, know that no gun legislation will work – nor will be tolerated. The suspect's twitter feed showed he was spiraling out of control – and others had to have known him. They knew. Just like the Tucson shooter's family, the Aurora shooter's family, the Newtown shooter's family – nearly every case had warning signs that something was going to break.

We've had our warning.
