Milo Yiannopoulos comments on vigilantes 'gunning journalists down' - Business Insider I see none of you addressed this............ Two days before Thursday's shooting at the Capital Gazette newsroom, Milo Yiannopoulos had told an Observer journalist "I can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight." Five people were killed and several more injured on Thursday at the Maryland newspaper. Yiannopoulos has since defended his message as a joke while further criticizing the media.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
Here is the Huffpost incorrectly insinuating the attack were politically motivated...actually stating "they don't know yet" and then making the assumption:
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...b007aa2f7e853f Clearly fake news G1, this wasn't a politically motivated attack. Refer to the CNN report which gives clear motive for the mass killing. This guy didn't kill people based on whatever Milo said (why does the left continue to relevance to this guy?) I understand your upset that this doesn't fit the narrative you want...you want to be celebrating this event as one where you can fit your politics into the story and point the finger at the right and Trump. Lets remember the victims today |

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
Five people died b/c a crazy man killed them. Not even 24 hours have passed and these peoples' deaths have become a political football. Rather than rush to judgment on his motivations, how about we recognize the tragedy, grieve for the lost, and ponder how to best move forward? Just a thought.
The shooter was a man with a personal vendetta against the paper that he been carrying for years after they published a story of his criminal harassment of woman. He had sued the paper for defamation as a result and been fighting them in the courts for years while blasting them on social media. Last week, Maryland's highest court denied his final appeal of the matter and effectively ended his ability to pursue his claims against them through the judicial process. Now five people are dead. It's crazy. It's tragic. It's not politics.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
By the way, incredible props to the Capitol Gazette today. They printed a morning edition today.
This is not the Washington Post or New York Times folks. This is a small local paper that said "We have a job to do. We will do it." I cannot begin to express the admiration and respect I have for them.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
I’m glad his motive wasn’t political. Next time it might be though. This may be a good time for P-Grabber to reflect on the potential damage that can be done by his constant rhetoric and vitriol towards the media.

Media bias is certainly fair game when the object is to discredit the administration at every turn, while splintering the country for revenue purposes. Violence towards the media is unacceptable. If you "want to have a conversation" about how Trump has criticized the media, its a 2 way street. I would certainly advise the administration to meet more often and try to soften the combative tone...but media combative tone should soften as well. To say the mainstream media is innocent is certainly laughable at this point. I think the bigger issue is just how combative social media has become in all this...Twitter yesterday from 4:00-8...was disgusting. You cant blame Russia for this. We need to do better...

Have you noticed too the trend of when someone famous dies then people celebrate? statements of Im glad he's dead, or that's person in hell etc. I saw one the other day in when Charles Krathamer died...person was like, "I remember that one article he wrote in Time in 1989 which was racist (of course...that's the go-to) and now he is in hell." I look and the guy picture on twitter must have been 85...I was like jeez dude...little karma could be coming your way soon. |

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
It only took five people dying for trump to say this...............
https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/e474d29...urnalists.html U.S. Trump Now Says Journalists Should Be ‘Free From Fear’ After Previously Calling Them ‘Enemies of the People’ After years of repeatedly calling journalists “the enemy of the people,” President Trump on Friday struck a markedly different tone towards the media, saying in the aftermath of a deadly shooting at the Capital Gazette’s newsroom that journalists should be “free from the fear” of violence while doing their jobs. “I’d like to address the horrific shooting that took place yesterday at Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Maryland. This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief,” Trump said while addressing an audience in the White House.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
Annapolis Police Chief Tommy Altomare on the Capital Gazette shooter:
"I will not say his name today. I refuse to do it. I wish you [the media] wouldn’t do it, but I know better. He doesn’t deserve us to talk about him one more second."
