Copycat
Here is why the media over-hype on the S*ndy H*ok shooting is absolutely wrong.
It causes copycats to make plans. From Huntsville, Al
station WAFF:
Franklin Co. man threatens to 'make S*ndy H*ok look minor'
Court documents reveal new information about a man charged with making a terrorist threat at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence.
Investigators said Rodney Lee Lightfoot said he would "make S*ndy H*ok look minor" if he did not receive care in the hospital emergency room.
According to Florence Police, Lightfoot, of Franklin County, also said he would kill people across North Alabama by using explosives and fire.
Lightfoot reportedly said he had a previous arrest for criminal possession of explosive components and assault in Texas. Florence Police check his criminal history and found an explosives arrest in 2003.
A background check showed no other charges for Lightfoot in Alabama.
Because of all of the hand-wringing over S*ndy H*ok in the media, the media has now given Mr. Lightfoot a metric to strive for. If Mr. Lightfoot wants to go down in notoriety, he has to outdo the work of A*am L*nza (may he rot in Hell).
Yes the shooting was a real tragedy and the families and victims are still in our prayers. The reality is that this was the work of a mentally ill man-child who's mother should have been more careful about how she kept her guns. It is not the gun at fault here and if someone at the school had been armed and carrying that day, the story could have had a less tragic outcome.
In a sane world, Mr. Lightfoot would be locked away for life.
