"snopes.com: Media Quiet About San Antonio Theater Shooting" January 16, 2013 10:52 pm RobVG

There’s a reason this is on Snopes

Of course Snopes makes the same lame excuse for the lack of media coverage- it simply wasn’t bloody enough. Bullshit. This shooting occurred just 2 days after SandyHook. They should have been all over it as “the second shooting in two days!”

The difference is there was no “assault weapon” involved.
And the shooter was stopped by a gun.

Teachers who want to be armed and receive the proper training should be supported in their efforts. It’s one of the only realistic proposals that would protect school children.
