Paper hires armed guards

[Quantum Windbag]

I love irony.

A newspaper just north of New York City that published maps on its website showing the names and addresses of pistol-permit holders in its coverage area has reportedly hired armed guards at one of its offices.
The Journal News, a Gannett Co. Inc. publication based in White Plains, N.Y., hired the armed security guards days after posting the maps in the wake of last month's deadly rampage at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., the Rockland County Times reported.
According to police reports obtained by the Times, The Journal News' Rockland editor, Caryn McBride, filed at least two police reports after receiving numerous "negative" phone calls and emails about the maps.
One email writer questioned "what McBride would get in her mail now," according to the Times. The police found that email "did not constitute an offense."

Wait, that's The Onion, right? It's gotta be The Onion. I mean, that shit's just TOO FUCKING FUNNY to be anything but The Onion. Or the Daily Show.

What's really funny is she tried to have people arrested based on their objection to what the paper did, and the cops told her she had no grounds.

Lolol...fascist pig bitch.

Lets finger all those that own firearms because they are the problem violating their rights to privacy and then hire armed guards because we should have the right to protection but you should not.

People like this should be fired and no one should be reading the trash that they are putting out.

Somebody stood up to the Brown Shirt wannabes:

Newspaper that published gun owners

The Journal News most recently attempted to obtain the names and addresses of gun permit holders in nearby Putnam County, but was stopped in its tracks.

“Since The Journal News has published this map, Putnam has received hundreds of calls from Putnam residents urging us not to release these records,” Putnam County Clerk Dennis Sant said. “There is the rule of law, and there is right and wrong and The Journal News is clearly wrong. I could not live with myself if one Putnam pistol permit holder was put in harm’s way, for the sole purpose of selling newspapers.”​

I see the Liberal response is once again nonexistent whenever their hypocrisy is exposed.

They should have known that posting that map would stir stuff up.
Yep they got scared and hired guards thru Wednesday.
They might even be scared enough to buy a gun themselves.

Hopefully they publish their residence addresses when they do.
