While reading this morning's edition of the Tennessean newspaper, I came across something that just really burns me up. On the front page of the Classified section, there is a short article entitled "Garage Sale Theft" with a small picture of a man holding a revolver in his hand. Seeing the picture piqued my interest, so I read the article. I was expecting to read about a garage sale bein g robbed at gunpoint, or maybe a theft of a firearm from a garage sale. Instead, what I read was a story about the authors money being taken from an unattended cash box inside her home during a garage sale. The author was busy filming her child playing in the road, and her husband was showing a sofa to a customer. In the meantime, a woman walks in the house and takes about $400 from a cash box. The author then recounts how the cops tell her it happens all to frequently, and there's not much they can do about it.
Nowhere in the story does the author mention a weapon. The picture was just there to relate guns to theft. It served no meaningful purpose. It's media BS like this that really irk me, and cause me to refuse to subscribe to the rag. I'll just read their BS for free at work.
