Is CNN still liberal gun hating media?
Yes. The negative bias in the CNN article is obvious. Here are a few examples.
They used the term "gunned down" to describe the armed bystander shooting the shooter. That term has a negative connotation and is normally used when describing a "bad guy" shooting someone. You don't see it used to describe a "good guy" shooting a bad guy. The armed bystander warned the shooter multiple times before shooting and prevented him from shooting even more people.
They attacked the NRA within the first few paragraphs about a tweet and defending the gov vetoing a gun related bill. (I am not defending the NRA, I'm just pointing out the bias). Normally you don't see these types of references until the end of the article if at all. CNN purposely chose to place it at the beginning even before the details of the incident.
(CNN)An armed bystander gunned down a shooter Thursday at an Oklahoma City restaurant, killing him, police said.
The National Rifle Association quickly seized on the incident as "just another example of how the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," according to a tweet. The powerful gun rights lobbying group commonly touts the mantra as part of its strategy in the wake of gun violence to identify ways -- apart from restricting firearms -- to enhance public safety.
The NRA also took a swipe at Gov. Mary Fallin, who two weeks ago vetoed a bill that would have made Oklahoma the 13th state to let residents carry guns
without a permit.
In explaining her veto, Fallin, a Republican, noted that the bill would have eliminated firearms training requirements and softened background check rules.
The bill "eliminates the current ability of Oklahoma law enforcement to distinguish between those carrying guns who have been trained and vetted, and those who have not," Fallin said,
according to a statement.
From the article it sounds like the armed citizen had weapons training and gave the shooter ample warning before shooting. He kept the shooter from shooting anyone else. I wonder if we have another young white incel male going on a shooting spree?
"He was just a 20-something-year-old kid," Benton said, "Didn't look very old. He was wearing ear protection and eye protection that you would have at a shooting range."
Then, Benton told KFOR, he saw a car circle back after exiting Louie's parking lot.
"A guy jumped out of it and went for the back of his vehicle. I just assumed maybe it was an off-duty officer or something like that," he said. "It was just the way he moved, whoever it was. He just appeared to be somebody who had some training, some weapon training."
Benton pointed the man toward the shooter, he recalled.
"They were like, 'Stop! stop! stop! Please! Put the gun down! Please put the gun down!' And I was pointing at him, I was like 'Down! Put it down! Put it down!' and they wound up exchanging fire," Benton told KFOR.
But, he said, the shooter wouldn't drop his weapon.
"I popped my head up, and they had taken him down," Benton said, adding that he then told a police officer who'd arrived on the scene that the man who shot and killed the restaurant shooter was "'here to help,'" KFOR reported.
