Charleston Gun Drama: Media Misfires Following Bizarre Arrests
Three soldiers, lots of weapons and a statutory exemption that tied judges’ hands…

Was it a “media misfire” when FITS repeatedly claimed there were hundreds of unreported deaths from Helene and never proved it or owned up to their obvious lie?
Oh, and here is the extent of the supposed “public shaming” and “woke tirade” FITS claimed the P&C was doing:
“A reporter with The Post and Courier left a message with Adams’ office to inquire on the reasoning behind her refusal to approve the swearing of arrest warrants but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
An administrator within the magistrate’s court office speculated that the reasoning was likely a lack of probable cause.
South Carolina is a “permitless carry” state, as signed into law by Gov. Henry McMaster in March 2024. The statute allows anyone who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm to be able to carry one openly or concealed without a permit. Firearms are still prohibited from school campuses as a stipulation of the law.”
It seems like the only one that has an agenda here is FITS.
WTF – I bet their chain of command would love to know about these three “unconscious, heavily armed individuals”. It may be legal to “go strapped” off post but it isn’t on post. The exemption for “guard, law enforcement officer, or member of the armed forces.” is not a blanket exemption and as interpreted by SLED, only applies to members of the military only when they are engaged in “…an event specifically related to firearms…” (the exemption was designed to protect ROTC/JROTC Instructors and recruiters)
This is wild. Your blog regularly reports on things where you leave out facts or just make them up. It is the height of irony for this rag to criticize the real news for something you have literally made your trademark.
And then to cap it off, are we mad at the judges or happy? I cannot tell. I know you often criticize judges for doing what the law requires even when it is unpopular, so is this now okay? Hard to keep up.
I can imagine a lot of boo-hooing from LE circles now, demanding that the law be changed. Remember, “We don’t make the law, we just enforce it.” Obviously, these guys caused no harm and likely intended none. Why appropriate charges were not made for intoxication; well that sounds to be on the arresting officers. Sounds to me like Justice has been served.
