Lessons Learned From MSNBC
Dear Editor,
I have had the (involuntary) opportunity to be subjected to “reporting” by MSNBC for a few weeks. Now I know why people that watch this channel are in the category of mind-numbed robots.
The primary subjects of these “reporters” are 1. Orange Man Bad, 2. Guns Bad, 3. Conservatives Stupid and Bad. Very little is said about anything else. No matter what the subject appears to be it somehow comes back to one, or more than one of those three subjects. And their standard line is “more gun control is needed.” And not just gun control, but complete banning and confiscation of all firearms, but not one word about making tougher sentencing laws like mandatory, mandatory jail time, and not just a couple of years, but decades with no parole, and in cases of an intentional shooting resulting in a death, the death penalty with chance of commutation. We’ve seen punks with guns running rampant on streets in places like NYC, Chicago, etc. – places with very strict gun laws stopping law abiding citizens from being able to defend themselves and others – and these animals get a slap on the wrist for committing crimes with firearms.
The other thing MSNBC does is obsess over AR15s, calling them “assault weapons” and “weapons of war,” yet they can’t seem to define “assault weapon.” If a crime is committed with anything else they pretend it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not an AR15.
Believe it or not, I highly recommend conservatives occasionally, occasionally tune in to this channel and others like it to see what these far left zombies absorb and act on. There is a saying by Sun Tzu, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” Of course, the left will be quick to say that Sun Tzu was a warmonger, further showing their lack of education.
Before Chris, chris, the other alias’ he/she uses, and the rest begin their rending of garments and name calling, how many stories, and I mean give me a number, that are given as much widespread coverage as these that involves someone using a firearm to defend and/or deter these kinds of crimes. I’ll wait… (Final Jeopardy music). What, you need more time? Hmmmm.
Commit the crime, do the time … all of it.

Murderers Should Be Punished
Dear Editor,
You have probably seen the video of a homeless man being choked to death by a former Marine. The person who killed Jordan Neely, and the other man who helped restrain him, should be punished. You can’t allow vigilantes to shoot people, put them in chokeholds, or “string people up.” People who kill people should receive some kind of punishment.

Somebody’s tinfoil hat has slipped again. I only use my real name. Chris. Just because people other than me, disagree with you doesn’t require a conspiracy theory.
I don’t really watch cable news at all. Most of it is talking heads sharing their thoughts on the news versus reporting the news. I prefer to read NYTimes and Wall Street Journal as a good balance of journalism. CNN is even worse than MSNBC. And FoxNews is worse than them all. My opinion.
One critism, is that you asked for more credible references (actual numbers) than you offered in your own letter. How about you hold yourself to the same standard you expect from others.
As for gun control, until conservatives join the conversation versus saying we more and easier access to guns, it is going to remain a useless conversation.
Oh Chuck, dear Chuck, your poor “victim “ in this case is well known to the authorities in New York, they simply wouldn’t deal with him. He was in a closed environment (a subway car) pacing back and forth, everyone in the car felt threatened as he spewed profanities and irrational thoughts. The young marine veteran took control of a very dangerous situation and other passengers assisted him. For this you want to punish him? I suggest a medal!
You just described Alan.
“pacing back and forth, everyone… felt threatened as he spewed profanities and irrational thoughts.”
I forgive you Ricky.
R Chapman the person on the subway had a very lengthy criminal past and was just recently convicted of felony assault after he punched a woman and broke her nose on the SUBWAY, dumbass. The cops were tired of dealing with him. He got what he deserved Praise to the Marine and the Corps.
Oh, you’re funny Ricky!
Or is it Carl?
Or Juan?
You should be a comedian.
Wow….stay away from subways. Proven every day that NYC will do nothing to deter crime.
Stay away from NYC. My sister-in-law, and her father, went to NYC for five days just for fun. I feared for their safety, but they were careful, and made it back.
Great letter Alan. Do the crime on my property most won’t have to worry about the time. Read this Mr Chuck Mann if you get shot and survive you will be shot again
