‘Vice’ Misleads Readers on YouTube Shooting

By Patrick Richardson

The latest shooting has confuzzled the left somewhat. You can almost hear the screams of “but my narrative!”

Since the narrative of the white, disturbed male with an AR-15 isn’t working, here, the media has mostly dropped this like a hot rock. But then comes Vice, predictably, with a new narrative: “California’s Gun Laws May Have Saved Lives at YouTube.”

Assault rifles, or AR-15’s, have been used to carry out some of the deadliest mass shootings in America, so when San Bruno police department got word of shots fired at a YouTube campus Tuesday, they feared the worst.

“We may have thought that we were going to encounter someone with maybe a rifle or something like that,” said San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini.

But in this instance there was no assault rifle. Instead, a 39-year-old female vegan activist, after practicing at a shooting range, drove to YouTube armed with a Smith & Wesson 9 millimeter semiautomatic handgun that she had purchased legally and licensed in her name. After opening fire and wounding three people, none fatally, she turned the gun on herself.
