The media love disasters and calamities. A smoothly running country would lower their ratings, that's why they worship at the altar of Both Political Parties are Always At Fault.

Neither the MSM nor all the wild incendiary websites so often linked here by some, have any economic or other interest in helping to solve the issues the country faces. Eyeballs and clicks are cash in their pockets.

In reply to Conservatives and the GOP

If this Dallas cop massacre and chaos was caused by just one man, it proves beyond a doubt the need for renewing the assault weapons ban. The weapons of war for legal sale in most states in this country are so lethal that one person can wreak incredible havoc. I don't think the GOP or the NRA want that reality to be faced or even discussed. The MSM will of course oblige them.

Conservatives and the GOP represent a clear and present danger to the country, They are stuck with a concept of self defense based on the availability of muskets. The NRA used to support gun control. The NRA is now a subsidiary of gun manufactures and has Congress in its pocket, the will of the people be damned.

In reply to Black Lives Matter groups

UK Mail online has more on Dallas than our media. One photo there shows about 40 tags on pavement which could be bullet strikes. What guns were used and how many shooters not being reported anywhere. John Lewis & Dems only ones talking about gun control.

In reply to The guns are out there. They

Black Lives Matter groups were involved in peaceful marches in Louisiana, Minnesota, and Texas. They did not call for an armed confrontation. An angry individual with access to firearms decided to act ton his personal desire for revenge. Diamond Reynolds, the woman who recorded the aftermath of the murder of Philando Castile, did not call for revenge. Castile's mother did not call for bloody revenge. When asked what she thought about the shootings in Dallas, Castile's mother noted that she just lost her son.She was not watching television. She had not slept for 48 hours. The march in Minnesota was peaceful.

The March in Baton Rouge was peaceful. Sympathy marches in Atlanta and New York City were peaceful.

Black people realize that the names of the officers involved in the police shootings in Baton Rouge and Falcon Heights were withheld for days. A picture of the wrong black guy went up in the midst of the events in Dallas, leading to death threats against an innocent man. The name of the shooter in Dallas is out now.

People are angry. People are mourning, The only rumblings about a war on police is coming from Fox and some corners of the far far Left.

Edit to add:

Before the shootings, protesters and Dallas law enforcement were getting along

In reply to I don't understand - you just

The guns are out there. They exist in great quantities of every type and description. They are a matter of fact that will not go away. There is and for a long time has been a clean distinction between who is allowed to kill with them and do so with impunity and those who can be killed with impunity. NRA-ish as it sounds, it really is people who are doing the killing but only some of the people who have been given license. Can we really be surprised when others simply take license?

We have shown a remarkable ease in ignoring the results all over the world when identifiable groups of people are killed with impunity by other identifiable groups. Right now on Fox News there is a guest saying that there is a war on police in this country as if the police have not been waging a low intensity war for a very long time and have no responsibility for that war erupting openly and big-time and as if we the people don't have any responsibility for those police we organize, train, pay, and otherwise support just like we do the 'police' we station all over the world and so often give the right and the power to kill with impunity. Expect copycat follow-ups. It has begun.

In reply to They finally wish to blame

Richard stay calm. A third of the country is friggin' bonkers. Blacks are included in this group. 1% of blacks support Trump with over 45 million black people in the United States and maybe half of voting age, that's hundreds of thousands. Most blacks realize that there is police abuse and that the legal system is rigged. Hundreds of thousand of blacks do not believe that there is anything wrong. The gentleman on Fox is one of those people. Fox loves to give the black Trump 1% ers air time. Keep in mind this is not the view of the black majority.

The black majority realizes that the NRA will not come to the defense of unarmed people killed by police. The NRA will not come to the defense of black people legally registered to carry a weapon when they are killed by police while reaching for a wallet.

Despite the knowledge that there is police abuse and that the legal system rarely punishes police officers who commit homicide, attacks like the one in Dallas are extremely rare. There was an ambush of NYC cops by a black man with a history of abusing his girlfriend, and there is this.

What should happen is Congressional hearings to at least pretend to address police abuse, disconnection of police from ethnic communities, and gun control. This will not happen because the GOP is in charge. Instead of addressing issues, we will have the GOP refusing to allow appointment of judges. We will also have ongoing hearings about Hillary or other officials in any Democratic administration.

Until we get rid of the reactionaries in Congress, we will be back here again. The Fox folks will always be out to lunch.
