Why the Media Suddenly Lost Interest in the Latest School Shooting by Brian C. Joondeph

Original Article

School shootings are terrible events -- except for the left where they represent opportunities, as in Rahm Emanuel’s “Never let a crisis go to waste” modus operandi. (snip) After the shooting, other than some virtue signaling by the media, the story has left the front pages, as the narrative may be inconvenient for the leftist agenda. CNN and MSNBC have lived up to their reputation as “drive-by media” by quickly moving on. No interviews with David Hoggor other gun control fanatics. So, what are some of the inconvenient aspects to this story     .

 

A good reminder that SJWs always lie.  This time, by omission.

Please everyone, make sure you don't weaponize your links, gifs or tweets.

 

When in doubt, take a minute and ask yourself, "Should I post a poem instead of this gif?"

Because that would be so terrible. 

 

I haven't posted a poem in months but thanks for the reminder that we need a few to brighten up the place. Feel free to add to PPP!

Can we still weaponize the ignore feature, and/or weaponize not using the ignore feature?!?

That's how these things escalate.

You weaponize a gif against me.

I weaponize a link at you.

You go nuclear and weaponize an ignore on me.

I scorch the Earth and mass ignore.

 

Let's all follow BMs lead.  Ramp down the weaponizing of message board posts and features, and ramp up the self-righteous douchbaggery and condescending judgement of others

And whine. Don’t forget about whining. Piss and moan and whine about others sharing links to informative articles that are germane to the topics in a thread - like it’s the downfall of human civilization and a hallmark here at PPP. 

SDS should rename PPP The Whine Cellar.

WIRED: 3D-printed guns are back, and this time they are unstoppable. 

 

“A decentralised network of gun-printing advocates is mobilising online, they’re anonymously sharing blueprints, advice and building a community. There’s no easy way they can be halted.”

 

 

 

They say that like it’s a bad thing.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Another California Gun Policy Doesn’t Survive Federal Court.

 

 

 

.

 

[B-Man]

OREGON: Clerk fired after pulling gun on hatchet-bearing attacker, causing attacker to flee.

A hearty “Well done” and “Stout fellow!” are due the clerk. With well-disciplined use of the pistol, he defended his own life — surely the Plaid Pantry’s first consideration — while preventing the confrontation from escalating or bringing harm to anyone else. He managed to notify the police, and he didn’t make the error of trying to pursue the attempted robber. For good measure, the would-be robber took off without his hatchet, leaving it on the counter, so he was disarmed at that point too.

 

The clerk is now out of a job, however.

 

The president of Plaid Pantry told KOIN 6 News the stores have a zero tolerance for weapons and the clerk is no longer employed there. He said employees are trained to de-escalate robbery situations to avoid injury.

 

Granted, if the clerk knew about the “zero tolerance policy for weapons,” he shouldn’t have had a weapon in the store. (He probably shouldn’t have accepted employment there in the first place.)

 

But what an indictment it is of zero tolerance policies for weapons, that the clerk would have had no way to bring off the same very happy outcome if he hadn’t been armed himself.

Read the whole thing.

Yep.  Often, the only way to de-escalate a situation is a demonstrate a superior level of force.  Si vis pacem, para bellum.
