You're ignoring that the police said a threat occurred and it's why they canceled the lecture.


No they didn't they basically didn't want to risk bringing her in with a couple thousand protestors.

Its was done to avoid anything happening, doesn't mean anything actually happened.

Corkins kept and bore a gun as per his Second Amendment rights. The guard, who obviously has something against guns, assaulted him for exercising these rights. Corkins is allowed to Stand His Ground and defend himself. Unfortunately, he wasn't heavily armed enough and his attacker won.

The guard should be arrested and charged with criminal violation of Corkins' civil rights. And Corkins needs to be better trained in how to use his guns to prevent such an occurrence again. It's a sad day when the criminals win.

Oh I get the sarcasm. Just wanted to make sure.

Yep and that's what I said in my OP "They're not guilty of setting this nutjob out, but they should probably be less strident in pointing out targets to violent terrorists. "

lol, get the fuck out of here. If I put up a website of people I disagree with "pointing out targets to violent terrorists" is the last thing on my mind and frankly if we use that excuse to limit the use of our rights for something this retarded the terrorists have won.

Nutjobs due nutjob shit. The website didn't cause him to do nutjob shit no more than the gun did and neither the gun nor the website bear any of the blame. The blame lies solely on the nutjob.

Nah the best are always the classics.
Media Having Trouble Finding Right Angle On Obama's Double-Homicide

WASHINGTON&#8212;More than a week after President Barack Obama's cold-blooded killing of a local couple, members of the American news media admitted Tuesday that they were still trying to find the best angle for covering the gruesome crime.

"I know there's a story in there somewhere," said Newsweek editor Jon Meacham, referring to Obama's home invasion and execution-style slaying of Jeff and Sue Finowicz on Apr. 8. "Right now though, it's probably best to just sit back and wait for more information to come in. After all, the only thing we know for sure is that our president senselessly murdered two unsuspecting Americans without emotion or hesitation."

Added Meacham, "It's not so cut and dried."
Since the killings took place, reporters across the country have struggled to come up with an appropriate take on the ruthless crime, with some wondering whether it warrants front-page coverage, and others questioning its relevance in a fast-changing media landscape.

"What exactly is the news hook here?" asked Rick Kaplan, executive producer of the CBS Evening News. "Is this an upbeat human-interest story about a 'day in the life' of a bloodthirsty president who likes to kill people? Or is it more of an examination of how Obama's unusual upbringing in Hawaii helped to shape the way he would one day viciously butcher two helpless citizens in their own home?"

"Or maybe the story is just that murder is cool now," Kaplan continued. "I don't know. There are a million different angles on this one."

So far, the president's double-homicide has not been covered by any major news outlets. The only two mentions of the heinous tragedy have been a 100-word blurb on the Associated Press wire and an obituary on page E7 of this week's edition of the Lake County Examiner.

While Obama has expressed no remorse for the grisly murders&#8212;point-blank shootings with an unregistered .38-caliber revolver&#8212;many journalists said it would be irresponsible for the press to sensationalize the story.

"There's been some debate around the office about whether we should report on this at all," Washington Post senior reporter Bill Tracy said while on assignment at a local dog show. "It's enough of a tragedy without the press jumping in and pointing fingers or, worse, exploiting the violence. Plus, we need to be sensitive to the victims' families at this time. Their loved ones were brutally, brutally murdered, after all."

Nevertheless, a small contingent of independent journalists has begun to express its disapproval and growing shock over the president's actions.

"I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but we are in the midst of an economic crisis here," political pundit Marcus Reid said. "Why was our president ritualistically dismembering the corpses of his prey when he should have been working on a new tax proposal for small businesses? I, for one, am outraged."

The New York Times newsroom is reportedly still undecided on whether or not to print a recent letter received from Obama, in which the president threatens to kill another helpless citizen every Tuesday and "fill [his] heavenly palace with slaves for the afterlife" unless the police "stop the darkness from screaming."

"President Obama's letter presents us with a classic journalistic quandary," executive editor Bill Keller said. "If we print it, then we're giving him control over the kinds of stories we choose to run. It would be an acknowledgment that we somehow give the nation's commander in chief special treatment."

Added Keller, "And that's just not how the press in this country works."
