The Shame Of It

On the 4th of July, 2007 Senior Airman Matthew J. Marren was shot in the chest by an anti-war zealot who specifically targeted the victim

The 4th of July, is celebrated as the most patriotic day of the entire year. This is the day when those in, or those who have served in, the military are honored by their countryman for their present and past service.

On this special day, a military person is targeted and shot by an anti-war zealot and the media barely manages to report the incident.

Soap Box Ravings can't help but wonder how much news coverage would be available if any military person, mentally unstable or not, targeted and shot an anti-war protestor.
