Disingenuous, Fake News

Just now, I was reading an article on the CBS news website about an “accidental” shooting at an Alabama school and when I reached the end of the article there was a picture of an AR-15 type rifle (an M4 clone) as you can see in the picture.


The picture of the AR on the counter looks like it is part of the school shooting story and implies an AR-15 was used in the shooting. Point of fact is the picture belongs to the next article which is about gun ownership by state. You can see the title Gun Ownership By StateBELOW the picture.

Notice the title, “Disturbing Iraq Video Leaks“, is ABOVE the PICTURE for the next article.  Also note that if someone were to share, email,  or retweet the Alabama shooting article the picture of the AR-15 is included even though it has nothing to do with the “news”.

Why the difference in formatting?

Here’s why.  It’s manipulation by the Fake News media. They purposely are linking an AR-15 to every shooting.  All the other articles on the website have the TITLE BEFORE the article and ANY PICTURES.

This is the sort of manipulation that the LEFTIST use to confuse and distort the news to further their agenda to BAN firearms.

Was it just a simple mistake, that of ALL of their “reports” this was the ONLY ONE that has the title of the article BELOW the picture?  Yeah right. There isn’t even a one line space between the school shooting article and the picture of the AR-15.  There isn’t a connective sentence or any reference to “Gun Ownership By State” anywhere in the text about the shooting.  ‘Splain to me why that picture or information on “gun ownership by state” is embedded in with the “reporting” on the shooting as it has nothing to do with the article.

Weapons Of War, Part 2. Some Perspective

What else should we ban because it kills people?

How about cell phones?

According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, NHTSA, in 2015, 3477 people were killed by distracted driving. The largest cause of distraction was cell phone use.  Nearly 10 people per DAY are killed because of cell phones. To put that number in perspective, EVERY 2 HOURS and 24 minutes someone is killed by cell phone usage, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

Every 4 days MORE people are killed by cell phones THAN the guns used in the shootings in Columbine and Parkland, combined.  That’s every 4 day, all year long, every year.  No one considers this a tragedy that requires eliminating Constitutional rights.  Why aren’t the kiddies, actors, and rappers protesting this FACT?  Does the word hypocrite come to mind?

Every 8 months MORE people are killed by cell phones THAN U.S. Servicemen were killed in 17 year of war in Afghanistan.  Just a little more perspective as to the magnitude of the issue.

The NHTSA also states that 391,000 are injured in distracted driving incidents in that year. That’s over 1000 people per day. To put it in perspective, a person is injured every MINUTE and 20 seconds, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

How about banning the use of cell phones in moving vehicles? Many states have. Do people follow those laws? Look around when you drive and come to your own conclusion.

Again to put things into perspective, by the time you read this article someone was probably injured because of cell phone use while driving. Go out and have meal and most likely someone will be killed during that time.

And as I wrote about before about cell phones, millennials who scream about RACISM should smash their cell phones. You can read the article HERE.

Weapons Of War, Part 1

I keep hearing the emotional kiddies, the retarded media, and the politicians who have the brainpower of kiddies, blathering about banning “weapons of war” as the major “fix” to our legal system which will ultimately prevent school shootings. If we could just eliminate those evil black (is this racist?) rifles, they espouse, we would all be safe once again.

Shepard Smith of Fox News gave his emotional tally of all the 25 “fatal” school shootings “since Columbine” (Not true.  It’s actually 25 INCLUDING Columbine, or 24 since…).  Words have meanings as I’ve said to other people.  Interestingly in all the “news” stories I read, not one “reporter” correctly reported the number.  So much for factual journalism.

I did some quick research on the weapons used in these “25 mass school shootings” just to see how many were perpetrated using evil black rifles.

Here’s the list, starting with Columbine and ending with Parkland.

1 2-tech9 9mm, 2-12gauge
2 .22 handgun
3 davis p32
4 .25 raven
5 arminius .22 revolver

Two involved evil black rifles.  Overwhelmingly, PISTOLS were used to commit “mass school shootings”. Many were revolvers which no one seems to consider banning and confiscating. The most popular caliber used in “mass school shootings” is the .22 long rifle cartridge which is about 1″ long and 1/4″ in diameter, pictured here.

Picture from Wikipedia

The list represents elementary and high school shootings where there was ONE fatality or more.

Not on the list is the Virginia Tech shooting because it was at a university.  But to be clear that was the LARGEST shooting at a school with 32 murdered plus the shooter.  The shooter used a Glock 19 in 9mm and a Walther P22 once more in .22 long rifle.  Both of these are PISTOLS.

I’ll let you ponder the list.  What do you conclude?  Will banning law abiding citizens from owning evil black rifles “make the children safer“?

In future parts of this series on “Weapons Of War“, I’ll further analyze the FACTS on these “25 mass school shootings”.  There are many interesting FACTS.  For example most of the weapons used were stolen (along with murder, isn’t theft of a firearm also ALREADY against the law?).  Several of the shootings were amongst or committed by adults.  Many of the shootings have a domestic dispute or failed relationship basis.  There were WARNING SIGNS in many cases.  No one seems to want to look at these FACTS as it DOES NOT FIT THE NARRATIVE of BAN THE EVIL BLACK RIFLES.
