Big example, and to show the articles dont care about facts or truth. The sniper did not "murder" or "execute" vicky weaver. What the sniper did do is take a shot at the suspect that had murdered the federal agent. Vicky Weaver was behind the door holding it open for him as he ran into the cabin. They didnt see her, and the shot was not intended for her, but it ended up hitting her.
Im not saying the 'modified' rules of engagement were correct, that this wasnt a complete debacle, etc.....but when the blog authors intentionally lie to fabricate an emotional response (see Zimmerman), everybody come out looking bad
