Journalists Get Beat Up And Threatened After Going To A Kentucky Town To Report On Guns

The home where a 5-year-old shot his sister in Burkesville, Ky.
Reporters covering a horrific gun death in the small town of Burkesville, Ky., were rejected by the town’s residents, some of whom threatened reporters with violence and ended up carrying out those threats.
The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel details his travels to the town, which has been rocked by the accidental death of a 2-year-old girl who was shot by her 5-year-old brother. The gun with which the 5-year-old, Kristian, shot his sister was a gift from his grandmother.
The circumstances of the death have sparked questions about a culture in which 5-year-olds are given guns as gifts — questions that the town rejected this past weekend.
In the wake of the elementary-school massacre in Newtown, Conn., last December, Gabriel writes that the town wanted no part of being a symbol in the national debate over guns.

Bad idea to poke you nose where it is not needed or wanted. Folks in the Appalachians (pronounced App-ah-latch-uns, not App-ah-lay-she-uns) keep to themselves and take care of their own. Liberal New Yorkers coming down trying to involve themselves in a local tragedy are lucky to leave with a warning.
Of course this tragic episode will be exploited as much as humanly possible by those in the administration, and the likes of Bloomberg. They absolutely do not give a tinker’s damn about the little girl who died. I am certain that some of you reading this might say something like “how dare you make that statement? You don’t know anything about how these people feel.” To them I reply, “oh yes I do know. I know a tremendous amount about the current administration and the likes of Bloomberg.” For instance, I would ask all the people who profess such concern about this little girl a few simple questions. For starters I want to know what your current net worth is. Next I want to know how much money has been spent on your personal toys and personal vacations in the last decade. And then, I want to know how much money any of these wealthy, dishonest, money grubbing and power grubbing politicians have given of their wealth to people like these people in Kentucky. How much have any of you done to guarantee that the likes of these kids have good nutrition, top notch schools, top notch dental care, top notch everything that you (wealthy, greedy, power mongering vomit bags) have.
Just as I thought! Take your feigned concern and stick it up you@ss………….you do not fool any of us.
Good job people of KY
They are lucky they did not end up in a Kentucky sink hole! You cant tell (most) city folks anything, they are living in a fantasy world! If you want reality, take a country ride through Kentucky!
It was an accidental shooting and these liberal want to use a single incident to push the authoritarian disarmament of all civilians. Subjugating them to collectivist totalitarianism. Don’t come to Kentucky with that liberal agenda and expect anything less than your head shoved up your ass. We have 40 million guns in Kentucky, in 2011 there were 7 million background checks in Kentucky alone. We will not allow one tragic accident to be spun into an argument for civilian disarmament by the UN or the fascist authoritarian creeps in D.C.
More likely they are spys sent by the justice department because of the recent letter exchange between Holder and the governor of Kentucky. Good on them.
Not so sure that the same thing wouldn’t happen in my neck of the woods. When it comes to reporters, treat them like the police “You have the right to remain silent”.
Now the day starts when PC gets thrown out the window, and the followers get re-introduced to the real way of life and people’s true feelings
Most of these reporters are like the police and are no friend of the man in the street and most of what they print is all about good PR for the government.
Costs American tax payers $900,000 a year to keep people in jail, without a trail and then you wonder why after eleven years they are not being released but try telling that to millions of poor americans who are dieing from Cancer because they cannot afford treatment.
Go print that Mr Press man and then fcuk off back home you scum.
They go to report on an accident when black on white crime is at epidemic levels? Those Kentuckians should have shot their asses.
youd have to be the most disgusting example of an obnoxious xenophobic slapper to ever crawl
