Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Colorado Shooting.. Tea Party Member Falsely Accused by Media
One must wonder WHY the media would rush to such a judgement. Are they looking for a way to further smear our moment? Are they so controlled by the Liberals and the evil agenda that they are willingly to totally destroy any credibility that they may have left? Are they involved in sending out "False Flags" to create chaos and unrest before the elections?
One must wonder how ABC, A NEWS ORGANIZATION would not accept responsibility for their reporting but try to shift the blame to the "Social Media". What? They do not ensure the integrity of their words anymore?
You decide and be aware of what we face.
Accused by ABC
Breitbart News spoke to James Michael Holmes, the Tea Party member falsely identified this morning by ABC News' Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America as the possible suspect in the mass shooting early this morning at a screening of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. He is a 52-year-old Hispanic conservative who joined the Tea Party after becoming disillusioned with the Republican party.
"It was freaky," said Holmes, describing his reaction when ABC News speculated that he was the culprit who entered a crowded theater and opened fire on dozens of innocent men, women, and children. He disconnected his telephone and says that he is worried about members of his family who might be contacted by the media.
ABC News has since corrected its initial report, but tried to share the blame with "social media" and "members of the public" at first:
An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect.
Now the correction has been updated, with ABC News and Brian Ross taking full responsibility, and apologizing:
An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.
Holmes reached out to Breitbart News to explain that he is not the suspect initially identified by ABC News, nor is he the James Holmes mentioned in a separate article by Breitbart News.
He is a conservative activist who has worked in law enforcement, and who used to work at the county courthouse in Aurora near the theater where the shootings took place.
He described his recent decision to join the Tea Party Patriots:
I felt a general dissatisfaction with what I guess I like to characterize as the establishment Republicans. I had been to Republican conventions to try to get involved, to see who I could join or get aligned with. I wanted to be effective in changing the outcome for my country. I wouldn't say I was stonewalled, nobody answered me in the Republican Party--not a soul would contact me. I even paid to get involved with the Colorado Hispanic Republicans and nothing happened. The only people that would really be open and honest and invite me to participate were the Tea Party Patriots. I had offers to come to this lecture and that lecture, and offers to come to trainings, so it was something that felt like it was politically active.

More people will die in the US this year as a result of a gun than US coalition forces and Afghans deaths combined since 2001. Maybe we are fighting the war in the wrong place.

Yep, us oath keepers are the only thing left that will sacrifice for this country. Obama personally insulted me when he welcomed me and millions of other Vietnam Vets home. Somebody forgot to remind him and his fellow travelers that our generation actually fought and died fighting against the ideology he represents - communism.

John and I were discussing the sculpture at the UN, and I was the one who interpreted what my intial thought was seeing the sculpture as a work of art... didn't mean for it to cause all the uproar.. sorry.
I would like to make a comment about Ken's statement he wrote: So when it comes to placing blame, it isn't the Tea Party mind set, it's the do gooder liberal corporate management that has watched too many of its own movies." The BLAME belongs 100% on the man who pulled the trigger, doesn't it? To shift the blame to any person or company is really doing what the left does best, collective responsibilty... It is still all so sad and tragic..

It would NOT be nice to destroy all guns.
Have you ever heard of the 2ND. amendment

John, didn't mean we should get rid of guns, was just thinking about the sculpture the first time I saw it.. I think Luxemborg has an army of about 300...

Brian Ross deserves to be severely sensured or fired as his lack of Journalistic Ethics elimates from such a trusted position! How can he be viewed as credible on any story line?
The gun with knotted Barrell was also used as a prominent symbol of the campaign to successfully pass Antiguan legislation in South Africa and Australia, I believe I as a reference to several years ago.
Stand on the Constitution and the Conservative Movement will take us back to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.

I see your point, Roma.. this tragedy seemed to show how everyone jumps.. it was sad given the loss of life. John, I have seen that sculpture at the UN several times, and I think it was a gift from Luxemborg ? It has been a couple of years, but I think I might look up the artist.. I remember thinking the artist had a wish for peace, and no more war... but I can see how it could be viewed as gun control. Thanks for reminding me of it.

It is a shame when people jump to conclusions, on both sides of the aisle.

As Glenn Beck pointed out on his program, James Holmes is such a common name, Brian Ross had to have narrowed his search by entering "James Holmes and Tea Party" to get what he thought was a hit. He was witch hunting hoping to nail something and be a liberal hero. Some journalism.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
