Groundhog Day...
Thoughts and prayers
When you call for attacks on the media on nearly a daily basis don’t be surprised if you finally get something like this.
Sad
Hate to break this to you but I doubt only 'thoughts and prayers' is gonna change thing.

From Milo Yiannopoulos' facebook. His comment was a 'troll':
You’re about to see a raft of news stories claiming that I am responsible for inspiring the deaths of journalists. The bodies are barely cold and left-wing journalists are already exploiting these deaths to score political points against me. It’s disgusting. I regret nothing I said, though of course like any normal person I am saddened to hear of needless death.
The truth, as always, is the opposite of what the media tells you. I sent a troll about “vigilante death squads” as a *private* response to a few hostile journalists who were asking me for comment, basically as a way of saying, “**** off.” They then published it. Amazed they were pretending to take my joke as a “threat,” I reposted these stories on Instagram to mock them — and to make it clear that I wasn’t being serious.
Headlines soon appeared claiming that I was “inciting” people to murder journalists. This is wholly false. The only people whipping up hysteria about killing reporters this week were Will Sommer at the Daily Beast and Davis Richardson at the New York Observer.
If there turns out to be any dimension to this crime related to my private, misreported remarks, the responsibility for that lies squarely and wholly with the Beast and the Observer for drumming up fake hysteria about a private joke, and with the verified liberals who pretended they thought I was serious.
It is a demonstrable fact that the Open Society Foundation and other wealthy left-wing organizations have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars (maybe it’s millions!) disrupting my talks, beating up my audiences and spreading malicious rumors about me. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this shooter — just like the last one at YouTube — is another demented left-winger. Let’s hope it’s another transgender shooter, too, so the casualties are minimal.
The Left celebrated the shooting of Scalise and regularly incites violence against Trump supporters. They are secretly delighted by the domestic terrorism of Antifa and they cheer on Maxine Waters when she threatens consequences for Trump administration staff going about their business in public.
I made a private, offhand troll to two hostile reporters, who breathlessly publicized it and like vermin their fellow journalists swarmed to remind the world how much they hate Milo. If the Left was truly horrified by violence against journalists, they would have shown it in the aftermath of Charlie Hebdo. As you all know, they didn’t.
P.S. — You guys should decide whether you think I’m “disgraced, irrelevant and over” or “so dangerous I inspire mass shootings.” I can’t be both.
The threats were only a joke!
Oh thank god.
Never mind people. Milo was only joking guys. It’s all good!
We can go back to blaming restaurant owners. If only they were more civil.
What an *******
President Trump on Friday lamented the "horrible" shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Md., saying journalists should not face grave danger in the United States.
"This attack shocked the conscience of our nation and filled our hearts with grief," Trump said at a White House event celebrating his tax-cut law. "Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their jobs."
Trump vowed his administration "will not rest until we have done everything in our power to reduce violent crime and protect innocent life."
