Now Using A Gun For Protection Is ‘An Alarming Trend’

Now Using A Gun For Protection Is ‘An Alarming Trend’
SCREENSHOT

For an idiot news reader on a Detroit television station, people using guns to defend themselves from marauders is the beginning of “an alarming trend.”

According to WXYZ Action News, twice in a week, armed teenage robbers have been shot by their intended victims, who were licensed to carry a concealed weapon. But this is a bad thing, according to anchor Stephen Clark, who opens the newscast with, “Could a couple of recent shootings in Detroit be the start of an alarming trend?”

In the first instance, an assistant coach walking two girls out of Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School was confronted by two teenagers who put something against his chest. The coach, a reserve police officer, shot them both. One died.

A week later, two teenagers tried to rob two utility workers. One of the workers was also legally carrying a firearm. He shot both boys, sending them to hospital.

Only in a land of progressives and statists can people protecting themselves from criminals be “the start of an alarming trend.”

    The Second Amendment allows that “We The People” will have the tools and ability to defend against and even put down a corrupt and intrusive Government. The ability to defend ones self, family, neighbors and their property is an important benifit. Any one who does not know this or believes the Government can protect them from harm is a fool.

  • Hog

    Typical liberal jounalists…oh I mean…propagandist.

  • Corsica

    Aren’t these news anchors suppose to report the news without editorializing? Just read the news objectively and keep their sanctimonious opinions to themselves?

    • Charlie R

      Yes report news is what they are supposed to do.
      However, the New York times (NYT) changed all that around 1960.
      Want to know more about how “news reporting” became corrupt and “agendized”?
      Read “Journalistic Fraud” by Kohen … a remarkable insight into how the “newspaper of record” (NYT) moved editorials to front page headlines. It will explain perfectly why the news media is so supportive of what may be the most inept, ill prepared, and anti -American values president (BOB) ever to occupy the oval office.

  • Ridge Runner

    Stopped by the local Police Dept. the other day. There were over a dozen people there applying for carry permits, all over 5O. One gentlemen commented,”I never thought I would be applying for a carry permit in the land I thought I had helped make safe in World War 2.”

    • vicki

      Why does he need a permit (permission from government) to exercise his right to keep AND carry arms?

      How would the progressives feel if government demanded that they get a permit before providing “news” like the one in the OP article? (The tv stations that actually broadcast the news do have to get permits already)

  • bob

    the alarming trend is tothe criminals, that somthing might happen too them!!!!!! they may ??? think twice ???? people in the U.S. need to wake , Russia, China, & ore on higher Gov. elected officals are not our friends. think in the passed few years the adds to get us to sell our old gold jewery??? Russia & China Buying Gold, an the US Gov. Hoardig Ammo ???

  • Billie W. Jacobs

    Believe it or not; there are people on the left who believe that you do not have a inherent right to defend yourself with deadly force and if, in doing so, you injure or kill the perpetrator then you are guilty of a major felony and should be tried as such!!! This is tantamount to saying that the assailant was within his/her rights to demand from you whatever he/she desires!!! Recently, there were high ranking members of the Obama regime who have declared their belief that conservativism is a mental illness/disorder!! I say, in light of such declarations, that, perhaps, they should go look in the mirror and discover the truth!!!!!

    • eddie47d

      Why would you boo hoo over someone saying that “conservatism is a mental disorder” when that gets said about liberals right here all the time. The problem is you want to lay it on thick but can’t take it when it comes back to you! Now there is some truth. Every shooting has be be judged on its own merits and I still haven’t seen anything in THIS story that says you don’t have a right to defend yourself. Even in killing your assailant for that seems to something made up by you all.

      • Ridge Runner

        History is filled with the debris from Liberal Socialism. Unless you believe Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler, among others were not mental then you may be certifiable. They all began by taking guns away.

      • r.p.

        The reason you can’t fix stupid is because the “stupids” don’t know they are! That’s why we call them “liberals”. P.C. ya know.

      • eddie47d

        You bought into the phony headline RP so either you are gullible or “stupid”. = Conservative?

  • Robespierre

    All good comments, my hope is that there are enough of us to survive the criminals at the top. Have any of you thought about the possibility that the long blue line may want this crime on the street as a source of income ala Chicago under the Daly’s.

  • Ricardo Garza

    When someone hits someone else its called assault. When someone attacks someone else with a weapon its called assault with a deadly weapon (knife,bottle, 2×4,book etc.) So, what I’m getting at here is anything can be an assault weapon if its used to strike with or shoot with. A .22 cal. pistol is an assault weapon. Liberals got to get over this. It is plain as the eye can see, they want all your guns. More children have been killed by the hands of their own parents or guardians, drownings, car accidents, fires, and miscellaneous acts then guns ever did. The only way people can defend themselves is with guns. We are only a free nation because we have them. Take them away and watch what happens. Remember its not the gun that kills, its the person. I have never a time seen when a gun jumped out of a safe and crawled up to someone and loaded, pointed itself to somebody and pulled its own trigger while aiming and killed someone. Show me that one. If the Government gets rid of its guns my friends will get rid of theirs. Let me know when that happens.

    • vicki

      Ricardo Garza writes:
      “The only way people can defend themselves is with guns. \”

      Ummm.. Not exactly. The BEST way people can defend themselves (in situations as described in the OP) is with guns.

      - Ricardo Garza: “We are only a free nation because we have them.”

      You have an odd definition of “free”. In this nation you have to get a permit to exercize a constitutional right. You have to get permission to go on an airplane. You have to be inspected (as would cattle or criminals) to actually get on that plane. You have to get permission to build things on your own property. You have to get permission to move your private property on the kings highways.

      And that’s just some examples.

      - Ricardo Garza: “Remember its not the gun that kills, its the person. I have never a time seen when a gun jumped out of a safe and crawled up to someone and loaded, pointed itself to somebody and pulled its own trigger while aiming and killed someone.”

      We have actual video of someone trying to get their gun to jump up and shoot or even just shoot. Jumping might be a little much to ask from an inanimate object :)

      It was very disobedient. http://personalliberty.com/2013/01/23/do-guns-kill-people-pistol-shotgun-assault-rifle-put-to-the-test/

      - Ricardo Garza: “If the Government gets rid of its guns my friends will get rid of theirs. Let me know when that happens.”

      You can if you want. I and many others will keep ours. There are many predators out there besides current government.

  • Tina Meyer

    OMG – - how is this an alarming trend? It’s unfortunate maybe – it’s a reality – yes! Thank God the victims had guns – what’s alarming is the idiot remark from the reporter!

    • cawmun cents

      He is only reading what some progressive editor had his lackey intern write for peanuts.
      That is why they sound so stupid…..they have let go the professional writers so that they can pay that anchor his salary.
      Its how things are done today.
      Get rid of the real professionals and get college interns to do it.
      So when something you hear on the news sounds stupid…its because the editor is too busy to proof read what the intern wrote.
      The anchor may know that the writing is deficient,but likes his salary,so he just reads it anyhow.
      Read between the lines and listen to what is not being said…..then you will know the truth.
      -CC.

      • Zum Zum

        I enjoyed your comments cawmun (cc) …. now that the lines have mostly been drawn it is important to disseminate further than the headlines, talking points, and media dialogue.

        I really believe there is alot of meta-information and hidden in plain sight discoveries that will help us understand and unravel the lies.

        and it shouldnt just be the 200 or so lieutenants but from rank and file as well.

    re-harold olsen i think its clear what he would do, he would have eric holder charge him with failer to render aid to a fellow citizen who is under attack, and holder would impound his guns, sell them to the drug cartels in mexico, then charge the guy for buying wepons for a drug cartel, and try to give him 25 to life, but i think more likely the bonehead news guy would be screaming for the women in the area to hit the guy with their purses

  • Ridge Runner

    It’s obvious the Liberal left learned nothing from prohibition! Criminals will be well supplied by organized crime while law abiding citizens will be in total fear for their lives and property. Want an example, just look at Chicago,with strict anti gun laws and out of control crime and shootings.
    Those who would follow the law, will follow the law and those who don’t never will.
    During prohibition there was Rum running and if the clueless Liberals have their way there will be organized Gun Running.
    Of course the “rather have a Dictator left” will point out how well the last 30 years have delt with drug smuggling. Apparently knowing what’s best for everyone is synonymous with knowing nothing. Take away the Guns and you take away Liberty, worked for Hitler!

  • daisysue

    It is one to defend your point of view. However his comment was not even in the realm of reality..

    • daisysue

      Excuse me, I left out a word..Meant to say It is one THING to defend to defend your point of view..

  • http://www.facebook.com/jwhaynessr Jack Haynes

    An old sheriff wrote long ago about a gun “Be not afraid of any man, no matter what his size. When danger threatens, call on me and I will equalize”. Enough said. If they riot in the street, let them. If the riot gets on your property, use a gun to stop it.

  • Richard

    perhaps the “ALARM” should be addressed to the thug criminals that law adiding citizens will no longer stand idly by and allow themselves to be victimized, terrorized, robbed of their hard earned possessions…or our civil liberties to be trampled! We Will Fight Back…and We Will Take by force if necessary our Freedom to walk openly in our own neighborhods and streets and defend and protect our children and loved ones against All Enemies… Foreign And Domestic !!!!!

  • Robert

    Only a liberal moron would worry about the use of a gun to protect one’s life, family,friends. An “alarming trend” to protect yourself against a criminal assault. Unbelievable

    • eddie47d

      Same question to you Robert. Where does this newscaster say these citizens didn’t have a right to defend themselves? If a newscaster says a community is faced with teenage Meth usage and says its an “alarming trend” wouldn’t you agree? If 10 of the 20 houses on your block are facing foreclosure wouldn’t that be an “alarming trend” that affects the whole neighborhood. Wouldn’t it be an “alarming trend” if utility workers are robbed or maybe a school official such as in this story? Nothing in Clarks newscast says the “alarming trend” is that CC permit holders can’t carry or use their weapon for self defense. I would say the “alarming trend” is that those doing the assaulting are getting bolder in their actions.

      • Gary L

        Eddie, I think we all know what you are trying to say. It’s just that as usual, most of us here do not agree with your nonsense.

      • Gary L

        Surely, shootings in Detroit are nothing new.
        The news anchor finds it alarming that the intended victims shot their attackers.

      • Jay

        And then there was the guy who went to the doctor and found out he had cancer and 6 months to live. So he moved to Detroit to make it seem longer.

      • eddie47d

        If that was meant it would have been said Gary. Unless you are a mind reader you can only assume that your “nonsense” is correct.

      • vicki

        Eddie47d. You don’t need to be a mind reader to know the intent. All you need to be is a reader.

        That is the article referenced in the OP.

        Already read that earlier in the day. Still doesn’t connect the dots.

  • Robert Lebischak

    Lets see here, there are people that are trying to harm you, take your money, rape you, do personal damage to you, and you defend yourself, that is a bad trend, why the ones trying to harm you could be out of a job if people protected themselves, it would harm the economy if that happened.

  • Ann Anderson

    I agree with innocent people protecting themselves with guns legally obtained!! Maybe those teeenagers will think twice before they dare to pull a gun on someone! It is never a mistake to protect yourself from harm!!

    • The GLB

      Would it matter if one protected oneself with a gun that was NOT ‘legally’ obtained?

      Please stop using, “legally obtained”, as some type of mantra to give self-defense with a weapon some legitimacy.

      • MikeW

        You said:
        “Would it matter if one protected oneself with a gun that was NOT ‘legally’ obtained?

        Please stop using, ‘legally obtained’, as some type of mantra to give self-defense with a weapon some legitimacy.”

        So, you are saying that self-defense has no legitimacy, or are you saying that using a weapon in self-defense has no legitimacy? Either way is pure insanity!

        To claim that we have no “legitimate” right to defend ourselves (with or without weapons)against criminals who threaten us with physical harm if we don’t comply with their demands is Liberalism run completely off the extreme end of the track!

  • Bandofotters

    I hope that it is an alarming trend. Eventually it will lead to safer streets. Some won’t take the risk of being shot thus changing their behavior.

        Hey eddie, did you just wake up so you can put your’e 2 cents worth of anti 2nd amendment BS in . What do you think the guy was implying.

      My 8-year-old daughter was a tiny, delicate-looking little thing. She was waiting at the bus stop one morning when a hulking 14-year old bully came up and started harrassing her, making lewd comments, and finally, grabbed at her. A few swift moves, and he was running off, wailing for his Mama, clutching his broken nose. She had been a star pupil of her Tae Kwon Do class since she was 5 years old. I guess you could call her an “assualt weapon’, too.

        Anytime you Need to use a gun to protect yourself from assailants you are on an assault mission. so to answer your question Yes, you are on an assault mission to escape being harmed by the assailants.

        Hey JuneBOY……You would be the first to cry loudest if you were ever under will of thugs.

        First off… Everyone does not Need an Assault rifle…but the AR15 in its civilian variety IS NOT An ASSAULT RIFLE ! it is a Semi-Aitomatic rifle no different than a “Ruger 10/22″ 22 caliber rifle in function.
        Second…If you are a law abiding, Tax paying Free citizen of the United States Of America being of sound mind and good moral character. you have Every right to shoot off a couple hundren rounds of 223/556 ammo (if you can afford and locate some) at paper targets or any other safe target you choose especially on your own property if thats what makes you Happy!… you remember the bill of rights…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness !!!!! that may not be your thing and thats OK…Nobody is forcing you to like to shoot guns or build an AR rifle or the smell of cosmoline on a new CNC machined finely crafted firearm…But don’t try to impose your views of morality on others. Find whatever makes You Happy (so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else) and pursue that with all the passion in your heart.

      • Bob Reynolds

        “juneboy”: It appears that you have not completed a formal education as your grammer, sentence composition and spelling leave a lot to be desired. Perhaps, your response is just a perfervid reaction to an issue that requires a moment or two of rational thought. A responsible person (you also appear to be challenged in that comport as well) would and should “go on an assault mission” if they fear being assaulted. “The alarming trend” is that liberals (I assume you are one) actually believe that utopia exist and evil never has. “juneboy”, in addition, if you are 18 years of age or older you should no longer believe in fairy tales.

      • old sarge

        Libratard the constution and all of the Militia laws were set up so that in a national emergency all able bodied males could called for defence of the country so without the scary black guns you do not have a viable deterant.

      • Nadzieja Batki

        juneboy, are you capable of thinking before you compose your comment?

      • Carl C

        Juneboy – The word is deterrent, when the word gets out that the potential victim might be able to defend themselves, the perpetrator will have second thoughts on whatever crime they were going to do.

      • Peabody1911

        I guess punk ass gang bangers shooting up Detroit police stations doesn’t alarm anybody living in Detroit. If the “victim” protecting himself in Detroit shows up in court, he’ll likely have the likes of the libtards here on his jury. Maybe it’s time to leave Detroit to the gang bangers.

        @rendarsmith – the government calls fully automatic rifles with 30 round mags defense weapons. And the government is buying them up as fast as they can get them with billions of rounds of hollow point ammo.

        @GLB – our Founding Fathers thought self-defense was legitimate. In order to defend oneself, one would have to be able to apply as much force to counter the effort of an aggressor. As a matter of fact. the Founding Fathers thought that the militia (the people excluding government emplyees) owning warships would even be a good idea.

        @eddie47d – angry? You bet! I grew up in the 50s and this country had already began its slide away from the Rule of Law and it’s getting a whole lot worse today.

        Our leaders take an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. Based on what they do and say, the evidence is clear that they have no idea what the Constitution nor what the Bill of Rights nor what the Declaration of independence says. The Federalist Papers provides the intent of the Founders when they wrote those documents.

        Federal law is NOT the law of the land. The Supreme Court was never granted the authority to interpret any of those documents for the people. They have. And look where it has taken us.

        NOW, who are the “they”? (? – see what I mean?). If “they are already there to protect you – you would not have to draw your weapon. If “they” are not there, your weapon comes in handy.
        Juneyboy, you follow the idiot talking head; the rest of us will use our God given good sense, and our ‘Inalienable Rights’.

        Hey juneboy, your liberal thinking is “the start of an alarming trend.”

        @Mike88: You need a refresher course in English. Sorry. You’re on an “assault mission” to escape being harmed by assailants? This makes absolutely no sense; except maybe in war where you have two assailing parties. Considering that I am not purposefully going out and seeking potential assailants, it would be incorrect to say that I was on an “assault mission.” If someone enters my home, uninvited, that person is an assailant. I, on the other hand, am defending my life, my family and my property. Know the difference.

        juneboy,are you one of the thugs that are out to rob, rape and steal what other people work for? sounds like it to me. a little word of warning, don’t try and take what I have worked for because, if you do, we won’t have to hear any more of your b.s……..

        Alarming tren!d!!!! Where is this idiot from? We are finally fighting back against our criminl offspring. Chicago is a good place to start with the trend spreading across the country like wildfire. Our founders insured that we have a way to regain our country from internal enemies. Our president must realize he has released a plague on this country that must be stopped. His gun control efforts are means of feeding the plague and patriots are showing him that we have a cure.

      • Wil

        Rendarsmith-The liberals, apparently, consider an ‘assault weapon’ to be any weapon in the hands of anyone that might disagree with their agendas. I’m sure,if they could, they would pass laws exclusively prohibiting Conservatives and especially Christians from owning any weapons, much like Hitler did with the Jews.

      • johnny

        Listen closely,the cops ran in katrina and the L.A. riots The 30 round mags are just for such unexpected times as well as to fight a police state.Why do you want to cede all firepower to Government?Govts.have killed tens of millions of civilians in the last 100 years.

      • drooper

        Your are so right juneboy, I personally would feel so much safer if only thugs, criminals, and crooks had guns. That way we could be sure it was a bad guy who was sbout to murder us.

        rendarsmith says:
        “Out of curiosity, what is the difference between an “assault weapon” and a “defence weapon”? How is the government going to distguish between the two?”

        The same way responsible adults distinguish between them. By use.

        Richard says:
        “Everyone does not Need an Assault rifle…”

        Until they do. If they do not already have one then it is a wee bit late (This was true even before the Brady Bill)

      • vicki

        Mike88 says:
        “Anytime you Need to use a gun to protect yourself from assailants you are on an assault mission. so to answer your question Yes, you are on an assault mission to escape being harmed by the assailants.”

        Though I know your intent (by what you said) is pro-defense you would be better served to point out that choosing to not be a victim is NOT equal to planning an assault.

      Kane,

      You nailed juneboy good. Too funny! But aren’t you the least bit embarrassed? It was too easy. lol

      • Mikey

        Hey juneboy you need “personnel defense weapons” for L.A. And Katrina

    • eddie47d

      This news caster didn’t say whether this “trend’ was good or bad so why blame this person reporting the news? I think someone else is manipulating the news. Hmmm! He could have been saying that the perps are getting bolder and are acting in an alarming manner.

      • John Allen

        Did “News” puppet say how many unarmed people were robbed in same period? How many victams have been shot or injured by robbers- that never seems to make the “News”

      • jdn

        How on this screwed up planet could the perps in DETROIT be more bolder , more murderous or let alone start an alarming trend ? I usually take opposing arguements with all due respect but please could you use the slightest bit of logic and common sense with your replies ?

      • Howard C

        Hooray!! eddieBS is here to put in his irrational, leftist, ‘everything is relative’ garbage.

      • ibcamn

        Eddie,he made the comment of the bad guys getting shot by ccl Americans,and that the ALARMING TREND was just that!come on eddie,don’t be a douche today!is juneboy your son or daughter or whatever a juneboy is!??

      • vicki

        And in the news article around the newscast (As linked in the OP) we have this:
        ———————————-
        7 Action News talks with workers in Detroit about the dangers they face. They call it the new “Street Justice.”

        However, law enforcement would not encourage this and may not approve it. The case of the coach is still pending in the prosecutor’s office.

        When confronted by the truth yell and scream.
        He said “It’s an alarming trend” all the excuse a Liberal needs to promote more gun control. I understand well the meanings inferred while Liberals deny the truth. Just more added to justify negating the second amendment. The founding Fathers well understood the People should control the Government not the other way around. Amazing how History is loaded with Liberal Dictators yet apparently you would welcome the likes of Stalin or Hitler with open armes or for that matter, King George.

      • eddie47d

        Stop it Vicki Stop it ! Why do you buy all this dishonesty over and over!. Its like the article last week about guarding stores with semi-automatic weapons and the insane response in spraying bullets everywhere. Your repetitive dangerous and exploitive minds are the real criminal element. Keep piling up the bodies if it pleases you and keep forging your own headlines even though BL’s wasn’t mentioned in the real news story.

    • Dave

      The robbers should have been sent to the morgue. Why doesn’t this news reporter publish his address so the robbers don’t get shot? I’m sure he isn’t armed.

    • BR549

      Yet another panty-wetting liberal from the media. Most likely a Democrat, which ironically, is what most assailants claimed to be when they last voted.

      Maybe the message for us all is that Democrats are not to be trusted with guns or voting. Maybe we should include “Political Affiliation” on the 4473 Form and when they check “Democrat”, they get denied because of being anti-American and just plain STUPID.

    • ibcamn

      he would sue the man who refused to help and make sure the thief that was going to hurt him was ok and unharmed from the person carrying a weapon,or some f*#ked up thing like that!
