Facts vs Message.....

And now I understand that it was a Rem 870 and a revolver?

You're going to just love paragraphs 3 & 4 ....

Classic spin when the facts don't fit the narrative.
Classic USAToday.....
Classic MSM

it's likely the weapons may have kept the death toll from rising.
Is there a "barf" emoticon?

The first reports @ 1:43 pm from the New York Post claimed the shooter used "An assault rifle, shotgun and pipe bombs.

It was updated @ 9:21 pm & the AR was dropped from the story.
Sort of makes you wonder just what's going on with the media & the current state of affairs?
Almost like they had the story all set to go & the kid threw them a curve.....

Nah--- that's too tinfoil hat stuff isn't it?

There's already a thread on this event in L&CR. We don't need a second one.
