Since the man was plainly obsessed with violence - regardless of what he was actually charged with - the presence of weapons in the van seems germane to the story. Lawn mowing and mum’s birthday aren’t really relevant to a story about a man with fantasies about murder, child rape and mass killings, so no, I wouldn’t report them.
Again: would leaving the guns out of the story entirely be biased journalism?

I'll answer that when you answer my question - why does the story title lead with the one thing that was NOT a chargable offense?

Why the hell does it matter ?

HANG HIM!
HE HAD GUNS!

You folks seem to be so single minded that you overlook one salient FACT -
He wasn't charged with anything to do with guns.
But
That's what the headline reads - VAN FULL OF GUNS.
Why?
They want your attention.
They want you to feel a certain way.
THAT IS MY WHOLE FUCKING POINT!
You sir are delusional
Quote:I do prefer accuracy in reporting.
Opinions and attempts at forming them belong on the editorial page.
This is clearly biased journalism.
Yeah it just so happens just about every other news site pretty used the same headline . It's all a conspiracy
Quote:They are also very good tools for self defense.
If you feel safe by being helpless - that's up to you.
Have at it. You can be the designated victim..
Now don't struggle - that's vigilantism.
Lol delusional
Quote:Considering there was no charges filed - why would you report it at all?
He doesn't to be charged to clearly be a disturbed induvidual clearly interested in partaking in terrorism
Quote:Are you going to report that he didn't cut the grass and forgot his mother's birthday?
Because neither of those things are related to trying to kill a presidential candidate

I thought I’d answered that already, but maybe not. I’ll answer it now: Pure sensationalism.
Your turn.

Leaving the guns out would show some bias -but far less than including them and multitudes less than leading the title of the story with them.

On balance, I think a better headline might have been, ‘Disturbed Individual Found In Possession Of Firearms And Explosives’.

How about -

That seems more accurate.

I was actually thinking about people on your side of the gun debate. It seems that a good way to protect the rights of responsible gun owners would be to keep pointing out how many loonies have firearms.

Or the title they went with is fine despite how triggered you get over it
Quote:Leaving the guns out would show some bias -but far less than including them and multitudes less than leading the title of the story with them.
Or it shows no bias at all and your just being a triggered cry baby because they put guns in the title about a story about an assassination plot

... and it's already about gun regulation.
Carry on, on this pivot.

Carry on, on this pivot. We can't seem to even bring up guns or shootings or acts of domestic terrorism without devolving into that
