Another "good" shooting?

[Texas Star]

Just saw on the TV news that an apartment dweller on Beach St. in Ft. Worth shot someone breaking in this afternoon.

Looks like a good shooting at this point. But the media often never follows up unless they can sensationalize a bad one.

In the local paper here in Tucson last Monday was the following story: A guy goes to the local pharmacy and drops off his prescription. Comes back an hour later using the drive through. While sitting waiting for his meds two young women approach his car. One pulls a gun, points it at him and demands his car. He pulls his own gun (a CCW permit holder). She pulls the trigger, misfire. He shoots twice. the first round grazed her head the second went through her shoulder. He picks up her gun and drives to a neighboring business and calls 911. She is found at the pharmacy and arrested for ADW and attempted robbery/carjacking. The other woman wasn't charged. No charges are pending (as it should be), against the intended victim. Not much coverage on the local TV stations or any follow up in the paper. Lots of folks in Arizona are CCW holders, you'd think the bad guys, (and girls), would learn.

And there you have it. The typical MSM reporter/editor is averse to reporting "armed civilian/happy ending" incidents, as it challenges their paradigm, which is that "guns are bad, only bad people have guns, no good can come of it". Reporters are usually prejudiced, ignorant, lazy, incurious, and inept, and I'm referring here to newspaper reporters, particularly. What passes for "reporting" for local broadcast media is so pathetic as to elicit disdain and pity rather than criticism.

It would have been possible to stop right there and cover it nicely!

No pity for them here.
