Jailhouse Confession: How The Right-Wing Media And Glenn Beck's Chalkboard Drove Byron Williams To P

[mfcorey1]

Byron Williams, a 45-year-old ex-felon, exploded onto the national stage in the early morning hours of July 18.

According to a police investigation, Williams opened fire on California Highway Patrol officers who had stopped him on an Oakland freeway for driving erratically. For 12 frantic minutes, Williams traded shots with the police, employing three firearms and a small arsenal of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds fired from a .308-caliber rifle.

When the smoke cleared, Williams surrendered; the ballistic body armor he was wearing had saved his life. Miraculously, only two of the 10 CHP officers involved in the shootout were injured.

In an affidavit, an Oakland police investigator reported that during an interview at the hospital, Williams "stated that his intention was to start a revolution by traveling to San Francisco and killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU

1. Only the stupid of the SOB's can't see what the right wing noise machine is doing

[Enthusiast]

2. Misinformation 24/7

The suggestion that "We are headed for socialism." is ridiculous. Millions of Fox watchers buy into this garbage. I wish we were headed for socialism. You know, democratic socialism, like in Western Europe.

3. Beck and his ilk won't be happy until a full-blown civil war breaks out

and they still won't ever admit any culpability...

4. They'd much rather have a civil war than a class war.

In a civil war, the bottom 95% fight each other.

In a class war, the bottom 95% fight the top 5%.

6. +1000 K&R - Hope at least MSNBC cover this story tonight!

This should be news on MSM but I know it won't happen!

And how convenient Beck is distracting from this story by hinting he may be seriously ill.
