Man Carrying Simi-Automatic Assault Rifle…..
The news media varied from its standard practice in recording this event of a demonstrator openly carrying an assault weapon in public as they did the last time when we saw a gun-toting demonstrator hanging around as Pres. Obama was having a Town Hall Meeting.
The media would usually show you the two opposing groups on either side of the street carrying their pro and con signs for the Healthcare Reform Bill and there would be interviews. I was anticipating interviews not only of the gun-toter but also people’s reactions to gun-toters bringing their guns to the demonstration. Nothing! I wanted to hear what other demonstrators had to say. Nothing! I wanted to know if they felt intimidated or, as I read in a diary, I wanted to hear the person saying on camera they were not going to participate in another demonstration wherein there were guns present. Saying they would not bring their children to such an event and “Yes", they felt intimidated. Nothing. Just the media implying the gun-toters were potential assassins gunning for Pres. Obama.
If the media had interviewed other demonstrators it seems to me it would have been appropriately reporting the incident of not only efforts to intimidate the President. In my opinion, this is true intimidation: I am mindful on Pres. Obama’s birthday the media releasing and touting the author of a book detailing the huge amount of assignation threats the President has gotten; they did this on his birthday, mind you! The sleazy media strikes again!

I am staying out of Arizona. Between killer bees, scorpions, snakes and gun toting maniacs who the hell need it? Let them give themselves back to Mexico. Who needs a dried up pile of sand and rocks anyway? Arizona, you don't count.
