Wow....hate to hear about the store owners but the looters got what they deserved. Others have been put on notice it seems.

I haven't been watching tv news, but it sounds like this should be some major headlines. I only caught it on a repost from Facebook.

I can't believe that 12 store owners or their employees got killed. But if one of the store owners started shooting with a 45 pistol I guess anything is possible. If he'd of started out with a shotgun and finished up with an AR the results would have been vastly different.

I smell a hoax...Here's some more of their "news stories"

Chicago has the Tribune--Boston's newspaper is the Globe.

While the Boston Tribune (like the Baltimore Gazette) sounds like the online arm of a major city newspaper, it is in actuality a news outlet for hoax purveyor Associated Media Coverage, a long-established fake news site that typically spreads fabrications about laws or statutes that would affect a specific subset of the population. Many fake or "satire" news sites include disclaimers informing readers their content is fabricated, but Associated Media Coverage (and the Boston Tribune) do not.
