1. media is doing the job of a jury. way to taint the jury pool.

5. The media gets rediculous with this crap. I know it's a big story, but I wonder

how the cameraman felt about having to follow the empty car from Walmart while it was towed to the impound lot to catch the car as it went behind the gate. An empty car!

I wonder what that brave/stupid reporter would have done if psychos daddy went off on her just so they could hurry and be the ones to notify him and watch his reaction.

"Got the boys in the newsroom, is the head dead yet? Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry!"

2. We make it too easy on these gunners.

3. Now, see, if we were allowed to reach the same level of histrionics

as the right-wingers, we would be demanding that all the gun shops close.

6. My goodness, so much hype!

Way more promotion of station than any hard news.

7. OK...the suspect says this:

Merritt then told the judge he was innocent. "I tried telling the detective that. My gun's been in the pawn shop for the last two months. I haven't even had access to a weapon,"

When did the first four shootings happen? Was the gun in the pawn shop during that time? That should be easy enough to verify.

I'm waiting with bated breath.

If this is the guy, I'm happy they caught him...but it's their second arrest so far and the first guy has been released. I don't understand why this is so hard if this guy has an alibi. Maybe his alibi won't stand up, but until they check it out and tell us it doesn't, I'm not labeling him as the shooter. Yeah, he has a nasty record. So do a lot of people.

edited to correct baited to bated. Thanks Laffy Kat!

9. Bated breath.

Not trying to be word police I just thought you'd want to know. I spelled it the same until very recently. Orig. bated = to restrain. Go figure.

[passiveporcupine]

12. Ooh! Thanks...I love learning new things

Baited sounds right though, doesn't it? Never would have questioned it.

I just learned a new word and I love it!

The definition for bated that comes up first on google is

in great suspense; very anxiously or excitedly.

[Laffy Kat]

14. Right? Feel the same way on this end.

If only I could remember half of what I learn I'd be in good shape. HA.

[passiveporcupine]

15. You are probably 75% ahead of me

I can't believe how forgetful I've become. Without spell check I'd be in real trouble.

[snagglepuss]

8. Alleged shooter. Sure the guy seems to be an asshat but with all that

pressure on police to find the shooter the police may have the wrong guy.

10. I'll wait. You are correct.

[murielm99]

13. I'll wait too.

11. Where are the leaders of the white community?

Why won't so-called white leaders denounce the crime and broken value system in their communities?

16. What's an 'ammosexual?'

[strategery blunder]

17. One who fetishes guns and munitions

I don't have a dog in the RKBA fights, but the term is generally used to refer to the sovereign citizen types who believe there should be no restrictions on private weapons ownership whatsoever.

18. Leaders of the White Community

Yeah, where are the leaders of the white community?? When a black person is a suspect of anything, the white leaders admonish the "thugs." When something like this happens, why aren't the white leaders admonishing the "white trash??"

20. A white gun nut? Surely not!

And yes, I am calling you Shirley!
