How much comparable news media attention has been given to the Great Mills High School shooting in St. Mary’s County Maryland on Tuesday compared with the shooting in Parkland Florida?
Answer: Essentially, zero.
From Reuters:
GREAT MILLS, Md. (Reuters) – A 17-year-old boy opened fire at a Maryland high school on Tuesday in an attack that left two fellow students wounded, then died after a gunfight with a police officer posted there, amid a renewed national debate over gun violence in schools.
– Two wounded in Maryland school shooting, student gunman dies
Look at the headline from Reuters for example.
If I were the editor there I might have titled the story as follows:
“Armed School Resource Officer Prevents School Massacre in Maryland”
Do you see how they do it? When the story doesn’t fit their agenda they make the necessary adjustments to keep the mainstream masses in the dark, or at least very dim light. In this case, downplaying the fact that an armed school resource officer likely saved other lives that day.
Here is an example where armed sheriff’s Deputy 1st Class Blaine Gaskill, assigned as the Great Mills school resource officer, shot the bad guy and possibly saved the situation from becoming a massacre.
It is a perfect example of good guys with g u n s.
Given the knee jerk reaction for g u n control following Parkland (where no one at the school was defensibly armed),
and given the hysteria coming from the leftist g un grabbers and supportive mainstream news media (g un control for everyone),
why not also debate the effectiveness of Deputy Gaskill who was armed and ready to defend the students at Great Mills High School??
Is this not logical? Of course it is. However it doesn’t fit with the agenda whereby the end goal of those defining the narrative is to take away our g u n s.
Additionally, why have we not heard much of anything regarding the apparent fact that the Parkland killer was well known as being a threat – and NO ONE DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
Question: Would more g un control have stopped the Parkland killer?
Answer: NO, OF COURSE NOT!
Why? Because bad guys don’t follow the law and there will always be a way for bad guys to get guns, even those scary black guns!
I’ve been around long enough to know that this type of logic is irrelevant in the discussion. Why? Because the true aim is to take down the 2nd Amendment. Step by step. And the process has been in the works for decades.
Unfortunately, (and amazingly!) much of the brainwashed public do not apparently comprehend that bad guys will ALWAYS find a way to get a g un if they want one. That’s not going to change. So why punish the good guys with even more laws? (I’ve already answered that – the true aim is to take down the 2nd Amendment. Step by step.)
The discussion in my opinion needs to be around what we can do to protect our school children while they’re at school. More laws will do NOTHING.
Instead of addressing the underlying real issues, there are organized student walkouts all around the country demanding more g u n control. Why? (I’ve already answered that.)
1. Most every high school has security officers, and many or most are retired police officers. My brother-in-law happens to be one of them. Let them be armed for God’s sake! Triple Duh!!! Protect our kids!
2. When a well known (with a long record) ‘trouble kid’ who is threatening in a manner to shoot up a school, TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY!. Why was this Parkland killer ignored given his long background record of issues? There are already systems and methods in place to go after people like this.
3. Know that we are living in a society of decay, broken families, a society that uplifts immoral behavior, a society that to an alarming extent rejects morality, a society that largely ignores those who have a mental disorder, a society on drugs (of all kinds), a society that rebukes and prevents discipline… perhaps we are witnessing some of the results.
Last note: There will be, and always has been, a bad element among the human population. It’s just the way it is. However, it seems that many of the anti-g u n mainstream public do not comprehend this. It is the bad element who use g u n s unlawfully, and no law will ever prevent this. We must deal with the human nature of this problem. It is the person committing the crime. We need to address that.
Concur with all you said. Also need to give kudos to all of the officers in Austin for a job well done.
Simple
Good Guy with a Gun.
No media attention.
‘Nuff said
Yep, Did not fit the liberal agenda and narrative…
Yup
The fact that the Maryland shooting was ignored(by even “fair and balanced FAUX News) is more proof of the Deep State and the Marxist-SJW-Progressive agenda for firearm confiscation. This is not about protecting children. This is about sacrificing any person’s life or God-given rights in a move to create a culture and a society very similar to the one depicted in the HUNGER GAMES film series.
While one is asking about the lack of reporting of the Maryland shooting, ask yourselves: Why did the Cowards from Broward refuse to enter Parkland on the day of the shooting? Why cannot the media obtain the video of the shooting? Why were the (alleged) “victims” seen taking selfies of themselves and laughing before putting on their long faces and crying for the cameras on CNN? Hint: they are crisis actors.
The armies of darkness are on the march. There is another rally at a local park here in Kootenai County, ID this Saturday. It is organized by a “local high-school senior” girl. But, the local Marxist/Progressive usual suspects are behind it. When they had their “walk-out” on 03/14, the local chapter of the Hildabeest admiration society, complete with their pink knit P***y Hats was right there signing up these clueless, brain-dead, 18-year-old Mall Zombies to register to vote. We are getting real close to Civil War Two.
Some things are so obvious, it bewilders anyone with two active brain cells how so many fail to see it. A credible threat to congress? Double the number of visible uniformed armed Capitol Police Officers, maybe even throw in a few toting AR’s. After a couple of shooting incidents in Federal Court Houses years ago, armed, uniformed U.S. Marshals at every entrance with metal detectors. x-ray machines, and bomb detection devices. Before retirement, I made good money ($200+ an hour, armed of course) protecting high profile celebrity entertainers doing shows in our city (usually they demanded at least 4 officers surrounding them everywhere they went). Yet, for some reason, the majority of those who demand top flight, trained, armed security for themselves cringe at the thought of our schools having any armed personnel on site. Someone please help me out here. Explain their logic.
Dennis there is NO WAY to explain it.
Since these celebrities and congressmen care only about themselves and their safety its no wonder they would care nothing for anyone else. As long as they can cash in on the narrative and benefit its a fair game for them. Why do we take celebs and their ilk seriously anyway? Why is it what some stage performer has to say of any importance to anyone? Why do we blindly follow them? (we as in general population). Yeah group think is what clobbers us at every turn and the powers that be know this well and use it expertly against us.
I also agree. It’s becoming more that way every day (or so it seems). If the story fits the desired narrative it’s big headlines for days/weeks… otherwise it’s a quick story and gone.
We were recently had dinner at a friends (conservative). Very interesting conversation on your point #3. It’s like peeling back onion layers to get to root causes. Broken families was a big topic: many-baby welfare moms, missing fathers, lack of mental health treatment, drugs, vilifying LEO’s, and mixing in the fast-growing homeless population. Top it off with the complicit media coverage, and we end up with a witches brew of societal problems that is getting more toxic almost by the day.
And who is going to take on all of that? Far easier to blame g u n s and the Natl R A, rather than identify and address the REAL issues we are dealing with. We can’t even get everyone to say The Pledge or sing the Natl Anthem these days, if we can’t even agree on what should be the easy stuff, how the heck do we do the hard stuff?
Mention broken families or lack of discipline as an issue and you’ll likely be hung in effigy. Mentioning a prior record is victim shaming, the victim in this case being the poor child who wielded the gun. I was told that encouraging people to “Walk up, not out” was also victim shaming, like the kids who got shot deserved it because of past behavior.
And don’t even mention drugs, because “Many people are on these drugs and don’t go off.” The fact that many people also own guns and don’t go off, that’s different.
The problem is that the narrative can be changed to fit whatever they want it to fit. Lots of things might contribute or be major players, but that won’t ever be addressed as long as those things don’t fit the agenda.
The hate and divisions in our society are perpetuated by the left leaning media for nothing more than ratings and their unabashed hatred of Trump. Ken is correct in that they will change wording to twist truth to be perceived in a totally dishonest way. Unfortunately, the victims will be the honest people trying to fight the swamp – it is so easy to put out false information to ruin anyone not on their side – like all NRA members are criminals, ICE arresting criminal illegals are breaking up families, …. but no information on the swamp creatures getting rich off international dealings and political favoritism. How do we fight back against this crap – I guess make sure everyone we know must get out and vote come November.
Well 10 year veteran Fox news commentator Retired General Ralph Peters resigned today and went out swinging, complaining that (Right leaning) Fox news and their evening commentators are nothing more than a “propaganda machine” for President Trump. And he is absolutely right. While Trump has brought issues to the forefront others swept under the rug, he has also suffered from constant foot in mouth disease, can’t get anyone besides Mathis that is qualified or competent for their position, and overall has made an ass of himself. President Trump is his own worst enemy and although I voted for him, I cannot understand why the “fair and balanced” network and conservatives in general whitewash this out of control rudderless administration and lap up the “fake news” mantra EVERY time. Peters tells it as he sees it and that quality is now extinct in Washington along with the left AND right media.
Kenny,
Once I had some respect for Ralph Peters, a retired Lt. Colonel by the way, not a General. He slowly started to take a more liberal tact before Trump was elected, then went totally anti-Trump after he became President. That’s OK by me, folks can disagree on politics. I respect the right of anyone to voice their opinions. I lost all respect for Peters though after his last appearance on Fox. It was after the Parkland High School shooting. He went on a full out anti-semi-auto, anti- high capacity magazine rant that stunned even the interviewer. His rant was filled with factual errors beyond the pale, including his assertion that the AR-15 had no sporting value at all,. He even said, on national TV, that the 5.56×45 cartridge was outlawed in many states for hunting because, in his words “it is so devastating it destroys the deer to the point that there is nothing left” (a total lie, most states that outlaw that cartridge for big game do so because they consider it not powerful enough for a humane/reliable kill, an assessment I disagree with). He continued, saying that only military people should have access to any weapon that held more than 10 rounds or was semi-auto. Either he is completely unfamiliar with the weapon or he has become a shill for the ant-gun crowd. If the faces of the hosts that day meant anything, resignation was the easy way out. I doubt he would ever been invited back. Not because of his error filled diatribe, but because of the out of control anger he displayed. CNN and MSNBC will love him.
Anyone who says we shouldnt have standard capacity mags of 20 rounds for 7.62×51 or 30 of 5.56×45 needs to learn comprehension, 2a says nothing bout limits
“CNN and MSNBC will love him.” Perhaps he is looking for a promotion…
Kenny
You do not have to like Trump but his policies have worked for many citizens. All you have said talks about feels and opinion, not any facts. If you want opinion, I think Peters was a shrill, whining, uniformed, self aggrandizing Ahole. He will fit right in with the liberal crowd that spout garbage and lie.
hermit us
OH, thank you… I thought I was the only one who could not stand Peters.
Every time he came on the Fox news would ask ACDH to mute the channel or change it. Peters whiney voice was comparable to finger nails being scratch on a chalk board…..pure misery.
Yes, saw the segment about the guns in Parkland, dh is lucky we still have a functioning TV, I was just weeee bit upset. 😆
AC
I had actually gotten so angry that I wrote a follow-up comment to Kenny’s statement about the only news outlet that does try to bring in diverse positions when they do a commentary segment. Luckily Ken scrubbed it before you all saw it and questioned my sanity. 🙂
hermit us;
” Luckily Ken scrubbed it before you all saw it and questioned my sanity. ”
DARN!!!!! hahahaha
ahhhhh why is it nobody questions my “sanity” 🙂 🙂
Well you how it is when people see some poor unfortunate individual, talks to oneself, drools, hordes stuff in grocery carts, … they just try to ignore you rather than make you feel like an other species.
hermit us;
See there ya go again describing me… HAHAHA
NRP
Sorry I forgot to add your tag to my comment. 🙂
You can put people who commit acts of evil in prison but you cannot put evil in prison.
This was a rejected lover that wanted to kill her and then himself to show his true love. The other kid was just hit by strays when the officer and the bad guy started shooting it out. It is a non story as a government school shooting drill was not planned for that day. I’m always amazed by how untrained and mentally challenged people are such good shoots. Add to this lightning fast reflexes and the moves of a S.O. unit. That one kid it PA could not tie his own shoe laces but killed 22 in two minutes. There I go again wanting everything to add up and make sense.
That is like 5,45 people per second… That kid was amazingly fast..
You are right, it doesn’t add up.
Oops, I think you got the math backwards on that one.
It was good to hear a story of a police officer who took his oath seriously and did his job that day. He ran to the sound of the gunfire and engaged the suspect and minimized possible casualties. I do hope he has a long and rewarding career ahead of him and I would be curious if he does get any award for valor for his deeds that day.
I do remember engaging an armed suspect (s) and surviving the conflict (s). I never got any awards. I got invites for serving of high risk felony warrants because they wanted back-up that would shoot back and cover their backsides of my fellow officers.
Whether you are or were a soldier or a cop. I have zero respect for those who stand in judgement of those who run to the sounds of gunfire and critique us for our actions the day after in a peaceful and well lit conference room with a tape recorder going. I include the popular press in the latter category of those who stand in judgement.
When faced with real violence or the one-eyed stare, some people’s brains just turn to tapioca pudding.
I don’t know if the Maryland incident was even covered by Canadian media beyond a line about ” another tragic school shooting ”. I certainly didn’t hear any details and had to search it on the internet. I try not to be a tinfoil hatter but I notice a lot of things cascading at the same time regarding the whole firearms issue. Apparently as of April first you tube will be stopping most if not all firearms instructional / entertainment videos. Exactly how encompassing this decision will be is uncertain but it doesn’t look good. Meanwhile our idiot George Soros soy boy Islamist sock puppet Prime Minister is pushing for further restrictive [ and pointless ] gun control to add to existing legislation that the police and even the government’s own lawyers don’t clearly understand. He is making a lot of noise about public safety while throwing open our borders and publicly defending returning ISIS criminals, not to mention having changed our laws so that no I.D. will be required to vote in the next election. We, and I don’t mean just Canadians, are being subjected to an attempted coup d’etat by international new world order bureaucrats with a bought and paid for ”news media” I am not religious but sometimes wonder about living in Biblical times – you know, the part just before when God gets really angry.
Very well said, DW is convinced we are in the biblical end times.
Why are they ignoring the shooting stopped by a policeman doing his job? Already answered above DID NOT MEET THE NEEDS of the Main Stream Media to destroy gun rights.
Austin Bomber will also be a media dud. Nobody in the media will ask the following questions for the benefit of the Public:
#1 How did he get information on how to build a series of such successful and complex bombs? If the answer was the Internet THEN why did the ALL Powerful Vacuum Cleaner NSA did not pick up on his internet searches/keywords/social media ideas.
UNWANTED by MSM answer Maybe an Alphabet Agency Plant/Stooge?
#2 How did a non motivated drop out Unemployed ex college student find the MONEY for all these expensive bombs and from the police reports PLENTY more in his room?
UNWANTED answer see above….
#3 After he foolishly wearing a “Blond Wig and Gloves” per police report use Federal Express to mail a bomb or two to a target under the all seeing eye of Closed Circuit Cameras as to give away his Trucks license plates AND thus his Cell Phone data so the Police could Chase his SUV (per police Report, was it a truck OR an SUV?) into a ditch so the police can dump several AR15 Magazines into his SUV until the bomb detonated. WHY NO REAL ATTEMPT to Find Out Who He was and His Accomplices BY ARRESTING HIM??
Answer Not wanted by Mainstream media “Dead Men tell no tales and thus any connections to Alphabet Agencies unknown”
Cheap Trick song “Dirty Deeds and they are done Dirt Cheap” comes to mind….
NHM, where did you find the report that police emptied “several Ar-15 magazines” into his suv until the bomb detonated”? I heard that only one shot was fired by police almost simultaneously with the explosion (reflex shot?)
You ask if it was an SUV or a truck. It was an older Nissan SUV. In Texas, the older 2door SUV’s can be titled/registered as either a pick-up or an SUV. This may be where the confusion came in. Probably the media ran registration on the license plate and I.D.’ed it as a truck, not knowing any better.
so, in this recent Austin Bombing….there have been two (distinctly) different photos released by Police. I am not totally convinced they are actually the same person. Example found under this headline “Austin bomber had ‘target list,’ used ‘very unique’ batteries purchased from Asia, McCaul says”….—Which brings another point…Many headlines stated he purchased all supplies at Home Depot…?
I would submit the following list and challenge anyone with 2-3 working brain cells to understand and tell us why the News Media is attacking “Guns”, here is a little hint, Fear Mongering sells airtime and ratings, AND distracts the general public from the “real problems” of this country.
If these moronic liberals really wanted to “save the world” they have a LOT more to concentrate on than Guns.

NRP,
The moronic liberals that you mentioned do not want to save the world , they wish to control the world..
I don’t think there is an intent to totally disarm us. We will be “allowed” to keep our muskets as they were the arm of choice when the second amendment was signed. DW pointed that out to me, I had no idea she was so knowledgeable. I replied that on the day the second amendment was signed you could also buy a cannon without a permit.
So when the three bad guys with their stolen Glocks break in I’ll just shoot one of them and politely ask the others to wait while I reload. I forgot, it’s a musket, I’ll just use the bayonet on the other two. Oops, I forgot again, I’m in California, I’m not allowed to have a weapon capable of having a bayonet attached.
Own a musket for home defense, since thats what the founding fathers intended,
Four ruffians break into my house,
“What the devil!”
As i grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle,
Blow a golfball sized hole through the first man, hes dead on the spot!
Draw my pistol on the second man, misses him entirely because its smooth bore and nails the neighbors dog,
I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the too of the stairs loaded with grapeshot,
“Tally ho lads!” The grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms,
Fix Bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion!
Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up,
Just as the founding fathers intended!
Nailbanger; Dude ya got it all wrong,
Four ruffians break into my house at night, I come running out of the bedroom bare-azz naked, they all laugh so hard pointing at me they have coronaries and die on the spot…. 🙂
NRP-Nailbanger
NRP…that is hilarious.
Nailbanger good analogy of what it would take.
Dangit NRP, some of us are trying to have a little lunch out here….
CD in Oklahoma
CD in Oklahoma;
You just had to say ” little lunch” Did-ent-Ya” LOLOL
Ok Ken, back on subject….. 🙂
NRP
Boy are you behind the times. No danglers allowed anymore – that is some kind of banned masculinity thing.
hermit us;
This conversation is going ‘south’ really fast…..
AND Ken is watching, he got another 2-3 feet of snow ya know?
NRP
Sorry Ken. Back to the ignored news. Ban all lawnmowers, semi auto and full auto. Let us ruin the youth economy and require background checks of all purchasers and restrict purchases to all over the age of 21. It would certainly make the illegal alien lawn care individuals happy.
To hermit us:
For goodness sakes, do not take my lawnmower! How will I do my job as a Japanese gardener? I already live in fear whenever I get behind the wheel of my truck because one day I will be convicted of DWO – Driving While Oriental.
To NRP and Nailbanger: All those blackpowder firearms being fired within the confines of a house means the smoke will get real thick real fast.
To me: since bayonets are frowned upon in a gentler society, do not forget the brass plate at the end of the most solid wooden stock at the rear end of the musket. I guess that clubbing is better than impaling as long as you are not on tape. ( obscured by all the blackpowder smoke perhaps?)
CaliRefugee;
Next they will be banning all “beds” you have to sleep ON THE FLOOR, (check my list)
NRP
I fell out of bed once, but we were not injured.
ROL and can’t stop!
Actually as a kid I fell out of the top bunk several times without injury. Then I had to share the bottom bunk with my brother. A cousin was sleeping in mine. Late night trip to the ER for stitches.
CalifRefugee
I thought Japanese gardens were all gravel of different colors and sizes, raked to beautiful patterns. Or, is that a lost art?
Your recommending blunt-force trauma says a lot about your character – I like an unconventional thinker using a gun as a club.
hermit us, CaliRefugee,
When Ranger Capt. Sam Walker set down with Sam Colt to collaborate for a new, beefier revolver for the Texas Rangers, supposedly Capt. Walker told him words to the effect, “Your revolver is a fine design, but the .36 cal ball is ineffective, and the gun is too light. When it runs dry and you whack an Indian in the head with it, it falls apart.” The .44 cal, 15 1/2″ long, 4 1/2lb Walker Colt was born.
Dennis
Thanks for the info. I guess this Ruger LCP 380 just won’t do the job as a club.
hermi us,
Nope, but it’s a joy to carry.
hermit us, sorry for the missing t.
Y’all have to remember:
If it don’t bleed (enough)
It don’t lead (enough).
If there were 20, or 30, or more killed in the Maryland school shooting, we’d be hearing about it for weeks. Just like the last two.
This was another prime example of TPTB,, whom-so-ever they may actually be, controlling the MSM, the exposure of information (information they deem appropriate), and the word-smithing of said information so as to adjust the opinions of the general mindless public to a level and intent that they desire in their current method mind washing.
They don’t really like people like you and me. We know there is someone behind the curtain. Ain’t that right Toto?
That’s exactly right.
While on the subject of main stream media ignoring stuff. Does anyone know any details on the attack on the Green Beret training base in Syria by Russian mercenaries? I hear it didn’t go well f0r the mercenaries but did our side take casualties?
me
This the first I have heard about it……but will check into it.
me
Need a date of reference, as there appear to be a few posting but some go back to 2017.
I will be calling this person who would know so need an actual time frame.
Found an article in Bloomberg dated 2/18 dated that said it was a week before. My brother emailed me and said 300 Russian mercenaries were killed.
me
Found IT!!!!!
Go to this page ‘SOFREPnews’, you will need to hit LATEST NEWS on the LEFT hand side of the page. When it comes up, go to the bottom of the page tab over(pages) to #9 or 10 scroll down on the right hand side of the page will be the article.
2-27-2018.
Guess SF has their own news page…who knew!! Wait tell I let the group know.whahhhooo
Went to the site but didn’t find it. Did you get a bad guy casualty count? Did we take any? Newsweek had a pretty good write up on it also. to sick to take the time for a good search.
Cold is kicking my butt, DW gave it me. She likes to share everything with me damn it.
Nose is running a marathon and now chills, headache and slightly sore throat. time to get some more Sudafed while it is still available here without a prescription. They d0 take your ID so they can track the meth cooks. I guess I need to find room for more kleenex. I don’t usually get sick with colds, guess my acquired ER nurse immunity is wearing off.
To hermit us and Dennis:
I think I read the same book about the Texas Rangers that Dennis was referring to. To read the history of the Texas Rangers is to read about the founding and product development of Samuel Colt’s first revolvers back in the day. I think I left that book back in Kalifornia.
To hermit us: Zen Buddhist Monks garden with pebbles and stones. I am not a Zen Buddhist Monk. I am simply an American born redneck. ( apologies to NRP as I remember you are of this belief system.) That is why I enjoy lighting off gopher bombs in my yard every summer and shooting diggers in the Spring. My giggling while I light off the bombs is an indicator that I am not worried about my karma.
CaliRefugee
You know when you reincarnate, you will come back as a digger – karma is something you bring on yourself. 🙂
With the impending water crisis in the country, you may do well in developing your skills as a gravel landscaper and a teacher of that art. Could be better than that laundry business.
Wow, here is some serious insight into this ‘David Hogg’ kid who has been in the (anti- g u n) mainstream news over the Parkland shooting. What a complete jerk this kid is! And that’s putting it mildly!
Caution – Profanity laced
I suspect that YouTube will remove this shortly since it shows this kid for who he really is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th41B1JIYY0
Since it is anti gun they will probably leave it up.
If you want a picture of who this fool is being manipulated/guided by, look at the Che Guevara and Bernadine Dohrn wannabe’s doing the interview. Can anyone say Marxist/communist?
They did. It are gone. But, I would wager a C-note that the kid was paid to say whatever was in the video.
I wonder if Mr. Hogg was one of those that knew the shooter or his mental state, and did nothing. As in nothing to help save lives. As in nothing done to prevent the event. As in another smart-mouth punk POS whose IQ is far less than their arrogance and demanding somebody else do all the actual work.
Wow….got me going,.. huh?
