I have been watching and participating in all the news coverage about the recent Aurora shooting. As always, I WON’T publish the name of the terrorist/monster that perpetrated that horrible tragedy.
My question is why doesn’t the Lame Stream Media cover positive stories with the same enthusiasm as the glorify the bad stuff. When they senior citizen used his concealed firearm in FL to stop the robbery at the internet cafe it only hit national attention through the youtube video.
What about this story:

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – A citizen with a gun stopped a knife
wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt
Lake City Smith’s store.
Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned
it into a weapon. Smith’s employee Dorothy Espinoza says, “He pulled it out
and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing
people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people.”
Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. “There
is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the
head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms.”
Then, before the suspect could find another victim – a citizen with a gun
stopped the madness. “A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his
weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from
Smith’s grabbed him.”
By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and
shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the
hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, “This was a volatile situation that could have
gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten
worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time.”
Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also
thankful for the gun carrying man. And many, like Danylle Julian, are still in
shock from the experience. “Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes
before I walk out to my car. It could have been me.”
Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on
the dangerous rampage. (We will update as soon as we learn new information.)
So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or
the man who pulled the gun.
