RUSH: I\u2019ve been reading a lot of sports websites and blogs where there are comments featured to the commentary offered by various people that work at these places, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Fox Sports, you name it. And without exception, every one of these sports journalists has hijacked this episode. They do with every episode. They politicize every tragedy in this country to advance their failed ideas. In this case, gun control. <\/p>\n
But what I\u2019ve noticed is, and it\u2019s heartwarming in a way, almost all of them, all the people that read these websites commenting on all these posts are saying, “Would you give it a break? I\u2019m sick and tired of you guys holding this Jovan Belcher up as some sort of poor victim. Do you realize, he killed his girlfriend? He murdered the woman he didn\u2019t marry. Do you guys realize you\u2019re talking about a murderer, you are defending and lifting up a murderer.” <\/p>\n
“The pictures, which were published in The New York Post, brought wide criticism…” See, what happened in this case, and as the Times writes about it: “The question of the day in New York City on Tuesday — what would you do? — rode on a wave of outrage over a harrowing act the day before. A clearly agitated man pushed a 58-year-old stranger onto the track of an oncoming subway train in Midtown Manhattan. The man, Ki-Suck Han of Elmhurst, Queens, was struck and killed. As happens once every few years, riders collectively looked down at the tracks to face a fear peculiar to the subway system. What would you do if you were pushed to the tracks?”<\/p>\n
But somebody took a picture of this. A freelance photographer waiting for the train took a picture seconds before the victim was struck. “The pictures, which were published in The New York Post, brought wide criticism and were derided as ghoulish and insensitive. But the pictures\u00c2\u2019 mere existence started another conversation across the city on Tuesday, summarized by the television weatherman Al Roker, who, on NBC\u00c2\u2019s ‘Today Show,\u2019 said: ‘Somebody\u00c2\u2019s taking that picture. Why aren\u00c2\u2019t they helping this guy up?'” He fell in there and where were the heroes? New York good liberals, why didn\u2019t somebody help him out? How could you just stand there and take a picture? <\/p>\n

<\/a>Ask yourselves. You\u2019re the journalists. You\u2019re the guys who claim you can\u2019t get in the way of the news taking place. You\u2019re the guys that let this kind of stuff happen and try to hijack it and turn it into a political cause. Except what\u2019s the political cause? Nobody wants to ban subway trains because they\u2019re deadly, yet. So what\u2019s the cause to hijack here? Well, the cause to hijack here is how people don\u2019t care. Well, I\u2019m sorry, a lot of these people are still waiting for their Santa Claus gift from Hurricane Sandy. <\/p>\n
