The mass news media has shown, again and again, that they are anti-2A, anti-self-defense biased. So I refuse to ever give them the benefit of the doubt. They EARNED my cynicism and mistrust.

Last line from the article:

The person who shot Bryant has cooperated with police and has not been charged.

They leave that hanging there at the end, as if to infer that maybe he should have been charged. News media disgusts me.

I respectfully disagree in this case - the facts were reported accurately. To speculate further on why he should or should not have been charged would be media bias IMHO.

It's not just what they said. It's where they put that statement, at the very end of the article.

I find it incredibly sad that the merits of a legally-armed citizen stopping the stabbing of a woman must be debated. If the folks on this forum, who by dint of serious layman's interest in the subject still aren't 100% sure (compared to the average citizen) of the legality of intervening, then something is wrong with either the law, or those who are enforcing the law. Yep, no reason to intervene and stop a woman from being stabbed to death, more important to worry about whether the police and local prosecutor want to put YOU into jail for stopping the violent crime. And finally, no, I am NOT advocating getting in the middle of every little minor altercation or scuffle, and I do NOT think I have a "batman license". In fact, I'm one of the folks LEAST likely to get into the middle of something I don't know anything about...but a woman being stabbed to death, that's a different story, don'tcha think? When did Texas become NYC?
