Two gunmen hold 13 hostages in a large high fashion clothing store in LA for 3 hours. Sexually assaulted several women. Swat is called. When Swat finally storms the store the robbers had previously escaped.

Our future under gun control can be witnessed now in the states and cities who currently have gun control on the book to insure the safety of their citizens.

More from Chicago: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... 0152.story" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But in Houston, we have stories like this:

After being shot by the CHL's BG jumps a fence into a backyard where a German Shepard lived, who held him until the police arrived. Some stories just have really good endings.

Didn't care for the choice of words used to describe the good guys.
The suspect fired back. In the end, the two witnesses turned vigilantes won and took down the bad guy.

Well if it went down like it is reported then they kind of were vigilantes.

That being said, I work in an industry that is frequently covered by the media and what gets reported rarely bares any resemblance to what actually happened. Remember that the media perspective on television and print is like looking at an event through a swizzle stick. Just like your rank and file anti. :grumble

You can tell what the reporter said versus what the guy said

"vigilantes"
versus
y at the mercy of my saviors. These people protected me
They obviously sent two angels to help me. These people protected me when I couldn’t protect myself.
I bet one could hear the teeth grinding all through the room as an anti-gun reporter "had to" write the story.

Wonder if the Editor chose the "Good Samaritans " title for the reporter
