#5 why didn't the headline also include that the "protestor" was armed and rushing a gate at a military base?

#6 Well Chris, my first guess is liberal media control. My second it irresponsible reporting. It sounds more attention getting if you leave off or manipulate facts. I mean, how could any one in their right mind call a person rushing a military base with an AK be called a protester? It's would have to be pure media psych warfare. Plant the idea it was a protester in the mind with the headline to maybe you gloss over the armed part. Even if you don't, there is that little bit of sympathy if doubt because he was called a protester.

#7 why didn't the headline also include that the "protestor" was armed and rushing a gate at a military base?

Cause, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't connect him to the Tea Party?
