(3,491 posts)1. I hope no other media does either! Not sure what to think of this POS, but it ain't

I salute Lawrence for his stand . All the media are playing directly into the hands of this murderer . That is what he did it for: he wanted to be famous ! Otherwise , who would have ever heard off him ?

This is my fear.
Read a story about an apparent copycat, on the road with tons of firearms and ammunition, today; probably read it on DU. Guy was stopped.
