Shoppers fled for cover in a north London supermarket when a gunman ran in and hid in the aisles, claiming another armed man was after him.

The man, carrying a handgun, caused chaos in the Waitrose store...although he told terrified staff he was not planning a robbery.

He claimed the only reason he was armed was to protect himself from a second man who was trying to kill him. As shoppers fled, staff managed to call police, who arrived and arrested him.

Though it's very sad to hear of another accidental shooting of a child by a child, the fact still remains that the NY Court Officer, whose gun it was, is fully at fault. He neglected to teach his children Basic Gun Safety, because, why else would a 15-year old not know that it is VERY wrong to point a gun at someone that you do not intend to shoot! Additionally, the people he works for are at fault too, as they beleive that Gun Safety education is an evil thing to teach kids.

"Now our once great country, home of the brave and land of the free are being sold into being the world's largest warmonger. And gleefully 80% of the dodo American public have bought into this, are flying flags...So what is the problem? Where is my patriotism?

As a federal investigation of the police division continues, Cincinnati police officials announced. The new risk management system would track a much broad array of activities, such as injured prisoners, vehicle pursuits, injuries to the officer, auto accidents and being named a defendant in a lawsuit. When officers tallied at least 20 points on the scale, they would be subject to administrative review.

(Active policing = bad points. Soon, there won't be any active cops in River City.)

...It didn't take Attorney General Mark Shurtleff long after he was elected to offer an unsolicited opinion about the legality of state agencies' rules banning guns -- even those carried by licensed permit holders -- in the workplace. His opinion that such rules are "null and void" because they violate the 1995 law has finally ended the prohibition in state offices.

William McGowan's new book, "Coloring the News," is a disturbing account of how in the name of diversity the purpose of reporting events has changed from informing readers of the facts to advancing the newspapers' chosen causes and attempting to alter the readers perception of reality.

Another review by Thomas Sowell: "The issue is not what various journalists or news organizations' editorial views are. The issue is the transformation of news reporting into ideological spin, along with self-serving taboos and outright fraud."
