NY Post writer calls CT massacre a "little convenient massacre."

[Archae]

I'd like to see him say that after viewing the bodies of those little kids.

New York Post state columnist Fred Dicker described the December 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 children and six educators as "a little convenient massacre" on his radio show Live from the State Capitol.

On the January 13 edition of his radio show, broadcast on Talk AM 1300 in the Albany, New York, area, Dicker claimed that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had "promised" not to support stronger gun laws "but then he had a little convenient massacre that went on in Newtown, Connecticut, and all of a sudden there was an opportunity for him." In January 2013, New York enacted a comprehensive gun safety package that Cuomo described as "the toughest gun laws in the nation."

1. As our good friend Rahm once said:

"Never let a crisis go to waste."

I'm sure their is sincerity in gun restriction laws, but there is also political expedience as well.

2. I'd like to see him try that line on the parents of those kids.

I'll bring the spatula for cleanup.

3. Some of the parents are furious at this clown.

"It's basically putting salt in the wound," said James Wiltsie, whose cousin, Victoria Soto, 27, was among the six adults and 20 children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut on Dec. 14, 2012.

"For a professional journalist, I think it was irresponsible and unprofessional for him to say that," Wiltsie said. "There's nothing 'convenient' about 26 lives being gunned down in an elementary school."

Rebecca Kowalsky, whose 7-year-old son, Chase, was killed in the tragedy, said, "You can't fix stupid."
