As the world knows, we had a woman - private citizen - place herself in harm's way to shoot a deranged nut intent on mass murder. She was noted to be some sort of unofficial security person but she saved many lives by her very brave actions.
The press reported that but also lost no time in reporting she was a former law enforcement officer who had been fired for "untruthful" statements she made under some kind of undefined circumstances. None of that story was relevant to her heroic actions and today's paper had three strong letters to the editor pointing out the irrelevant reports of her past were "despicable" and had absolutely no place in the story.
The anti-gun media doesn't give up easily, though. Front page stories today reported how easily the shooter had been able to purchase the five firearms he had (passed the background checks) and even named the stores that sold him the guns - sort of suggesting those stores were some kind of co-conspirators with the would be mass killer.
Of course, none of those stories were relevant to a private citizen saving lives at her own risk but just provided fuel for those anti-gun types who maintain our laws make it too easy to purchase weapons and kill people with those guns.
But then, the media in general, are well known for this kind of sleazy reporting - it's not new.
