Okay, so ABC is reporting this, good. Maybe ABC has a connection to Univision but anyway, here is a Spanish-language story on this:

Wow. What a difference between the headline and the first line.

"Hardliner" (singular) "aims gun"

vs

"hardliners" (plural) "opened fire"

One is a threat from one guy, the other is an attack.

Shame on whoever wrote the headline minimizing the actions of these people.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
