Father of Newtown victim heckled at gun control hearing

[omgangiepants]

The father of one of the victims of the Newtown school shootings was heckled during a series of gun control hearings in Hartford, Conn. on Monday.

The hearings, which lasted several hours, brought out around 1500 people to the Capitol, including a number of NRA supporters as well as proponents on harsher gun control measures.

One of my comms on FB is being spammed by a bunch of conservo trolls who are screaming that it's fake, or edited, and one of them is trying to use friggin' breitbart.com as "proof." I put aside my usual manners and have been losing my temper with them all over the place.

It's funny they should say that because the first time I saw this heckling clip it was during a segment on Fox News. And yes, you could clearly hear people in the background shouting and interrupting as he spoke.

If it's faked (lol no) then even their precious ~fair and balanced~ news station fell for it.

to those "lovely" interrupting gun owners

Really? Really?! You're yelling bullshit at a man who just lost his SIX-YEAR-OLD?

I hate people.

Fuck anyone who wants to yell about their precious guns in front of a man who just lost his child, seriously.
