The LA Times ran a story headlined ‘Batman’ movie-goer brings guns, knives for ‘protection’.
Gotta love lefty scare quotes. Since charges are being considered I assume that either he doesn’t have a CCW or concealed weapons aren’t allowed in the theater in question.
But other than “protection,” what motive could he possibly have had? Self-defense is an actual right exercised by normal, responsible adults? Not in lefty land.
Just carrying weapons doesn’t justify the scare quotes unless you have an anti-gun bias. Personally, I carry a handgun, at least one reload, and often a tactical flashlight everywhere I legally can. And if my home were searched, police would certainly find a variety of other goodies designed to thwart those of ill intent.
Am I planning mayhem? Of course not. I’m prepared for the “protection” of myself and my loved ones should the fit hit the shan. You can’t rely on “security guards” (scare quotes justified; see Paul Blart) or the police—who either weren’t there or were entirely ineffective at Columbine, VA Tech, and Aurora…where mass murders occurred even though the weapons used to commit them were banned.

Expect to see more astroturfing. What do you expect from a candidate who insists on repeating attacks that have been debunked by such hotbeds of conservatism as the Washington Post and FactCheck?
WSJ:
Townhall:
“After the charismatic—and disastrous—Woodrow Wilson presidency, the voters did not elect another president in the next decade who could be considered the least bit charismatic. Let us hope that history repeats itself.”

Two white men were attacked by a group of teen thugs in D.C., with one sustaining serious injuries.
I scanned through accounts of the attack in a wide variety of media sites and, curiously enough, could not find a description of the attackers. Given the fact that the police don’t yet have any suspects you might think that a description would be warranted. When I finally found one, I was shocked—SHOCKED, I tell you—to discover the miscreants are minorities (black, in this case, as are the overwhelming majority of violent criminals in D.C.).
When a black teenager was killed by a neighborhood watch cop wannabe, the media labeled him “white Hispanic.” When a Congressman was shot—and bystanders killed—the media tried to paint the murderer as a right-wing nut. When a dozen people were murdered in a theater, the media instantly—and incorrectly—touted a Tea Party link.
Now the same media are quick to note that these latest victims are gay, but don’t find the identities of the perps significant enough to report. To the Left, criminals’ group membership is only relevant if it’s white or conservative.
