Why can't we just love one another?

Apparently someone tried to attack a police officer with a hammer, and was shot.

My grandpa used to always say, "Son, you don't bring a hammer to a gun fight!"

That's the way these nuts should do it. Make it suicide by cop rather than mass murder.

Kudos to the Paris police for being able to take this guy down:

Apparently the attacker was an Algerian student who yelled "This is for Syria"

So I know they can't not cover some of this stuff, specifically the London Bridge knife attack that had lots of victims but at what point is the media somewhat culpable for covering this stuff nonstop. Local guy gets drunk and goes after cop with hammer we maybe hear about it from somebody who was there, Muslim does it in more well known place and it is international news worthy?

I dunno I felt the same way about school shooters. There is no right answer but a part of me wonders if maybe some of this stuff wouldn't happen if not so highly publicized.

That's just poor planning. He was supposed to yell "Sanctuary!"

It certainly wouldn't happen as much, but gotta get those eyeballs.
