In Reply to: (NT) why does publishing public records deserve retaliation? by grimgraphix

Although gun registrations are public records, these people didn't take into account that many of those names and addresses published include police and retired police (now the people they locked up know where they live), domestic violence victims that own guns to protect themselves (now spouses or others know where they live), etc. These people go out of their way to have unlisted phone numbers and confidential safety concerns that the newspaper didn't give a rat's about and have put a large number of people at risk now. Most criminal elements out there aren't scouring through public records at the gun registration department to locate someone.......or at least they never considered that before but they will now that they realize they can get their hands on whatever they want in order to get TO whoever they want to target.

... the general consensus is that the news paper did wrong, yet some here celebrate the fact that others did the very same thing when news paper employees are put into the spotlight.

Thus, the fuzzy logic of "two Wrongs makes a Right" is once again justified by those people who have an ax to grind.

law into your own hands, among other things the careless discharge of a weapon which injures somebody innocent is a felony.

Why don't you ask something hard?

I don't think threats of violence against them is any better.

don't always yield the results we expect from them? They do come with responsibilities and one of these means we make certain we use them only for good purposes...and "good" doesn't mean only by our own definition.
