That's Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, the Iraq War Veteran suspected of shooting four people, two critically, at a New Year's Eve party, and later killing Mt. Rainier park ranger, Margaret Anderson, 34. Anderson was the mother of two young daughters; her husband is also a park ranger, who was on duty in a different part of the park at the time of his wife's murder.
Barnes was later found, dead of exposure, in the park.
The Huffington Post, owned by AOL, very much wants you to see what Barnes looks like.
The Huffington Post and AP "reporters" Mike Baker and Donna Gordon Blankinship also engaged in pathetic gun-grabbing propagandizing, exploiting the crime, in order to support repeal of a 2010 law permitting legal gun owners to take loaded firearms into national parks.
The shooting renewed debate about a federal law that made it legal for people to take loaded weapons into national parks. The 2010 law made possession of firearms subject to state gun laws.
Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, said Congress should be regretting its decision.
"The many congressmen and senators that voted for the legislation that allowed loaded weapons to be brought into the parks ought to be feeling pretty bad right now," Wade said.
Wade called Sunday's fatal shooting a tragedy that could have been prevented. He hopes Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010, but doubts that will happen in today's political climate.
Of course, if only the darned 2010 law hadn't been passed, Barnes , a fugitive from the law who had just shot four people, of whom he had to figure at least one was dead, would have said to himself, "Hey, it's against the law to enter a national park with a loaded weapon. I'll just have to leave my guns at home!" And Ranger Margaret Anderson would still be alive.
The picture below is of Andre Turner, who shot four people on December 16, killing two, at his workplace Southern California Edison in Irwindale. The Huffington Post has never published a picture of Turner, and locked down a story on his rampage, deleting anywhere from hundreds to thousands of reader comments, and altering the story's time stamp, in order to silence discussion of the racial nature of Turner's rampage, and to hide what it had done.
I have also failed to find any AP pictures of Turner.
Andre Turner murdered Henry Serrano, 56, and Robert
Lindsay, 53. Serrano and Lindsay had worked for SoCal Edison
for 26 and 29 years, respectively.
Turner also shot manager Angela Alvarez, 46, who
survived
Turner shot contract worker Abhay Pimpale, 38, who also survived
Somebody's jealous they don't look like that piece of shit. Better hit the gym!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see all the pictures on the Internet of Benjamin Colton Barnes two years after the shooting. He was a bad boy with no job but apparently was getting all kinds of pussy during the years after his discharge from the Army. Even with women's lib they still fall for a loser with a handsome face and big muscles. I've seen a number of working women let guy's like this leach off them in exchange for some hot sex.
