MSNBC's Contrarian Take
Page Three:
In contrast to the calls for
greater gun control cited above, on the night of the shooting MSNBC’s
Brian Williams broke from conventional media wisdom in an interview with
Bobby Mitchell, the husband of a Jonesboro victim, and his attorney.
Instead of taking the
obligatory swipe at the NRA, Williams tried to understand how public
policy could have averted the massacre by two deranged gunmen hell-bent
on destruction and contemptuous of the law: "Counselor...you represented
the victims there in Jonesboro, Arkansas and that led to positive
change...There is great anger, of course, and there is great sadness in
Littleton, Colorado tonight. Should they try to do something right away,
try to harness that, put it into positive change and would this have
happened with the strictest gun laws in the country anyway?"
