This clip starts out discussing the Florida movie theater shooting by a retired LEO who hates texting. But scroll forward to about 2:15, because this is where CNN’s talking pie-hole (and disgraced former News Of The World editor) Piers Morgan starts to beat his civilian disarmament drum. When his hyperbolic questions fail to elicit a compliant response from Pasco County (FL) Sheriff Chris Nocco, Jolly Old Piers stops even pretending to interview him, and simply interviews himself for the rest of the clip.
I’ve really got to hand it to Piers Morgan. Not only has the disgraced former News Of The World editor dodged questions about his possible involvement in the UK phone hacking scandal (with all of the credibility of Barry Bonds’ steroid denials,) he’s also managed to find safe harbor in the United States, where it’s easier to avoid pesky searches and interrogations by the London Metropolitan Police.
Morgan presided over Rupert Murdoch’s obliterated News Of The World enterprise in the mid-1990s. In this story and video, he appears to acknowledge that he knowingly ran stories based on hacked telephone calls and texts.
Morgan left News Of The World in 1995, but his gutter journalism hardly ended there. He jumped ship to a rival tabloid newspaper, where he was eventually forced out after (you’ll never guess) another scandal, this one involving the British military and faked photographs.
Morgan has as little respect for people’s privacy as he does for their right of self-defense. Or self-defence, as the Brits would spell it. Why CNN keeps a disgraced alleged former tabloid ‘journalist’ like him on their books is beyond me. Either way, it’s all kinds of awesome to see him completely flummoxed by a plain-spoken Florida sheriff, exactly the kind of ‘little people’ Piers Morgan despises.
Without guns we’d all be British!
How many times is this guy going to try to argue his liberal opinion regarding gun laws/crimes against those who’s entire job revolves around enforcing/investigating these very same issues.
What scares me the most is that there is probably a very wide audience of sheeple nodding along with Piers. “Piers is right, I mean what could that cop possibly know about guns that Piers doesn’t?”
You are just going to shoot the clearing barrel outside the chow hall, then get told you have to put on a clean uniform before you can eat, but your ‘terp can’t eat, ’cause ‘Merica!
It’s happened before.
Try toting an M240b around all day, that AR feels like a feather in comparison
He needs Alex Jones to come back on and help each others ratings.
Carry a DRACO pistol, its lighter and more compact.
Ha!

“Introducing a polymer pistol built specifically for the needs of today’s law enforcement to rain tyranny down upon the citizens of the communities that they swore to protect.””
“calculated” and intent are decided by a jury. The prosecutor has every right to put that question to a jury. I think you go too far in telling people that the prosecutor has no case.
I would love for Jerry to do that to a block of sim test and see what it looked like at 1900 fps.
Fragging?
Nice job by the sheriff … Only minor complaint is that it would have been nice if he had mentioned the CDC study stats when Morgan started in with his statistic. According to the CDC study there are a minimum of half a million dgu’s every year (and possibly several times that many). That’s over 1300 a day, well more than the 245 that Piers mentioned.
I’m lovin these responses. hehehe
What exactly is a probation check and why do you need to break into a persons home to conduct it?
It’s a law enforcement action to check on someone that has willingly given up their 4th Amendment Rights for liberty from incarceration. The actions fall under the executive branch of the government. Why BART is even involved in this activity is beyond me. Both the DOT and DOJ are part of the Executive Branch…but they are different Departments.
For a freaking probation check…
I got a speeding ticket a couple of years ago, I wonder when the SWAT team will be by to chat.
If someone goes crazy and does things like this, and it’s because of drugs (not counting alcohol), it’s almost always because of one thing. And this goes for the stories about people going crazy on “bath salts” as well.
The golden boys take a hit, (the ones that they keep setting up carve outs for) and they distance. Of the 3 bs stories, only 1 mentioned the fact that he was a cop. CCL requires responsibility. I love baseball, and football, and hanging out. I love movies. But, I have taken responibility for me and mine, something that I take serious. I refuse to ever enter some place that leaves me unarmed. That is my consequence, because of my choice. I gave up things that I loved, they want no consequences. Nothing is they’re fault. So, if I clear leather, I have heard all of both sides of the arguement in my head. Life is easier when you rely on someone else to protect you. You take no responsibility, just rely on someone else to watch out for you and yours. Once a great nation, now a nation raised by the lowest bidder!
That’s the difference between us and them. It takes them 1 week to get 100 people to click on their page and it takes us 1 day to get 100 people at our state capitols to protest. Then there’s their “protests”… 1 month and 250 grand of uncle mikes money yields 3 “supporters” (the organizers) and 50 reporters. Meanwhile, we get 3000 people at a state capitol building and the headline reads “Racist pedophiles demand right to slaughter your children.”
I’m sorry, I couldn’t make it past 1:45. “…feared for his safety because the victim threw popcorn at him” I threw up a little in my mouth.
100 people is a “LOUD message” to legislators? These people are demented.
Will be writing my state legislators when I get back from this deployment.
And crime will not be affected once again. It’s too bad these “legislators don’t focus on things that really matter like job creation.
Keep those idiots away from my state. McCain: youre welcome to go to CA, AZ no longer wants you.
This is better than coal in a liberal’s Christmas stocking.
