*IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN

[Cutz]

Just like it doesn't make good sense to blame police brutality protesters, or to blame the NYC mayor, or to blame the President, the media, or the Democrats for Brinsley's execution of two NYPD officers.

All of the killers had criminal records or complaints, a history of anti-government/authority rants and views, messed up minds, and guns. They latched on to causes, picked unsuspecting targets, and pulled the triggers. Nobody else.

So if you were in a cult, and the cult leader says the cult needs more money, and your brainwashed, misguided self signs your life savings over... that's just you being an idiot? No blame falls on the cult leader?

I only blame protesters for rioting. I only blame the NYC mayor for the policies he enacted or didn't enact to ensure the safety of his citizens. But I blame the media for brainwashing everyone. The news sensationalizes and sells violence. They compete to scare and intimidate viewers to get higher ratings. They'll paint whatever picture they think sells, without any aim at unbiased reporting. The media in general does the same thing. I'll blame them for everything from teen suicide to rising divorce rates.
