It was breaking news at the time. Check the dates. It wasn't confirmed at first what had happened. There was no official statement there was a shooter or gunshots so, unlike the tabloid scum, most reputable media outlets describe what people know at the time not wild speculation. That's how breaking news works. It develops. Let's see all the follow-up tweets and articles from those organisations shall we instead of your cherry picking to try and prove some point.

I was at work, I saw a notification that read something like secret service rush trump off stage after loud bangs heard, I can't remember the exact words now, wasn't till over 3 hours later I went to break and read he'd been shot, so yeah it changed over time, same with small developments developing afterwards, I was reading them as they appeared over 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the many people on the ground, average citizens, citizen reporters/journalists all called it right from the start. How come they can get it right yet the huge 'news outlets' had to scramble to correct their headlines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote As aside, I don't get why the AR15 is supposedly the bogeyman when it comes to firearms. Its a civilian weapon, not a military one despite its similarities. I mean, you could technically say all guns are similar to military firearms as they all the basically the same thing. Fire a projectile at high velocity into a target. Making the AR15 and it's owners the scapegoat makes no sense. It's not just the AR15, it's all semi-automatic rifles. The AR15 gets all the attention because it's by far the most popular and involved in most of the mass shooting incidents. Semi-automatic weapons, ones that automatically reload so you only have to pull the trigger again to fire, have a greatly increased fire rate compared to those where you have to perform some other action between shots. This, especially coupled with large capacity magazines, means the shooter has more chance of killing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of semi automatic weapons or weapons in general because my understanding is most mass shootings involved handguns. I saw some stats somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

CNN even now are having a go at him for waving his fist whilst being led away. A shame the Trump thread was closed due to someone being vile. There's reports now the shooter was a republican....very left wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
