and this story never made headlines...

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative...g-2524596.html

just like the Clackamas OR shooting that was stopped by a concealed carry holder, this story was instantly silenced while the nation has done nothing but brood over Newtown CT. I know this isn't the pistol forum but it seems that the majority of the discussions of late have revolved around the rifle forums.

Good read Tahuna!

The media bias to all things they prefer is quite frankly sickening.

It loaded for me but here is the gist of it:

Quote:
On Sunday December 17, 2012, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater. The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people. He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming. It’s like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant!

Now aren’t you wondering why this isn’t a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting?

There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

Only the local media covered it. The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you’d like to know.

It doesn't fit with the narrative. If a news story doesn't fit the media narrative, it gets silenced. Also, since the guy didn't kill four people, it's not really a mass shooting (according to the narrative), so it's just a local story.

Exactly. CBS news did pick it up though...

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-...tonio-theater/

CBS News did clarify the fact that the LEO was "off-duty" and was working as theater security when she shot the gunman. Relevant? Maybe...maybe not.

Looks to me like it was covered by the local CBS affiliate , not the national news . At least I didn't see it , and CBS in my national news source ! The mainstream media and the Obama administration are conspiring to disarm the people of this country , and do away with the second ammendment . The dambed fools can't even figure out that the first ammendment will be the second target . Maybe they are all counting on being the official news source of the new Socialist U.S.A. !

This story is perfect for armed Officers/Guards, in schools.

Person rushing in with gun in hand, fires shots, THE PAID GUARD shoots him dead!

What if that female was in the School? Person runs in with gun, he gets shot dead?

What works against nut case with a gun? A paid person with a gun! It is not brain surgery.

Because guns can't do anything good. They can't protect anyone, they can't save lives and they can't stop a mass shooter, under any circumstance. they only increase chance of death. Undisputed fact.

And I can't figure out why this was posted in the Art of the Rifle Forum.

It's under discussion in the proper forum elsewhere.

Closed.
