Two of the toy guns came from a 12 and 14-year-old who used them to fire at a moving car. Officers responded to a call from a scared driver and the two kids were hiding behind a fence.

What American boy didn't shoot at a car or dog or any other moving target with a toy gun?? OK, most quit by the time they were 8.
-
They should have taken them for shooting at cars..............
On a side note, I can't believe how realistic they make them today.
I was thinking about buying this Mauser just to hang on the wall in my den. I really don't want to hang a real one up for anyone to grab.
Almost as good looking as a Mitchell! :) and about the same price.

The police and media need to remove the words "fake" and "toy" from the reports. A bb gun is a real gun! Sure we use them to teach kids how to handle a gun, but we do now use them for sport and hunting, and there are many models out there that rival their powder powered counterparts for killing ability.
There is a parental issue here that needs to be addressed, and there is a media hype issue that needs to be addressed here. Without letting the kids and parents off the hook I will state that the news reports are doing more to frighten the public than these teenagers did.

That's their objective.

And I will go back to my old fashioned belief that the news should state Who, What, When, Where and Why, and they should leave the commentary to the commentary section which is labeled as such.
Today everyone with a microphone and/or camera thinks they need to save humanity and inject a social conscience. Every reporter thinks they are here to fulfill the founding fathers wishes by fully exercising their First Ammendment Rights and exposing stuff that isn't even there ... Did the founding fathers say anything about creating controversy in the lack of any.
Before anyone asks, yes someone pissed in my Cheerios this morning!

Amen.
Report the facts as the facts.
Anything other than that should be required to be labeled as purely opinion.

Yes, they SHOULD do that, but that doesn't fit "the agenda".

Tom the "medias" agenda is to make money, peroid.
i'd be willing to bet when they say BB, they mean airsoft.

It's for the children....

I think the fact that almost every newspaper in the country being on the verge of bankruptcy disproves that statement.
-
Eric stole my reply ;D The NY Times, which has been excusing Communism, and other totalitarian regimes since the 1920's has been LOSING money for years, I recently read somewhere (WSJ or Bloomberg Report, I forget which ) that the Parent company is going to start charging for the online edition and this is expected to start a trend in the industry. However, if this does not reverse the losses then the "Gray Lady" may get Obamacare. ( Assisted suicide, not a bail out. )

thank the net for that.

Not true TAB, News Papers were failing long before the net came along, In fact, Bostons last major newspaper failure was in the 70's now they are down to only one or two.
Another fact is that conservative media of all types, Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Talk radio are ALWAYS more profitable than the agenda driven liberally slanted versions.
That is why Rush and Glen Beck are house hold names and Ganeane Garofalo is canceled.

That is EXACTLY why the left wants the Fairness Doctrine. Free enterprise and listeners voting with their radio dial are stifling the lefts propaganda effort.
