Why doesn't it say...

... "Responsible, gun-owning store owner saved the lives of two of his employees when he shot some snotty-nosed punk who aimed a gun at them and said he was going to kill them. " But noooooo ..... they start out with the investigation. Why is it referred to only as a "fatal shooting" and the phrase "self-defense" or even just "defense" isn't used once? Why were the two people referred to as "witnesses", instead of "potential victims"? The nuance and suggestion of language is important, folks, and the "news" media understands that. I do, indeed, hate the "news" media.

Snotty-nosed punks, take note: some of us are armed, and most of us can actually shoot straight. Personally, I work from home - if someone comes in here & points a gun at me & says he's going to kill me, he'd better come with it, because my draw & sight picture acquisition time is gettin' pretty quick. Evidently, our responsible gun-owning store owner has been perfecting his draw, too.

Score: Responsible, gun-owning store owner protecting himself and his employees = 1. Snotty-nosed punk = 0.

Why would anyone be stupid enough to try & pull something like that in TEXAS, anyway?!?
