Killed the Messenger

The newspaper business is somewhat dear to me. My grandfather published a daily newspaper in Covington, Virginia. He is in some ways the inspiration for this blog. I was heartbroken when I heard of the massacre at the newspaper office in Maryland. There is never a justification for murdering innocent people. To the folks blaming our President for this newspaper attack- BACK OFF. President Trump suffers under the weight of an abundance of fake news, but the lies being told against Trump were not what inspired the murderer. A personal grudge against the newspaper motivated the killings. Maybe if those exercising their First Amendment rights by running the newspaper had been exercising their Second Amendment right by carrying a loaded gun, the massacre could have been stopped with less loss of innocent life.
