Politico reporter calls for shooting of investigative reporter.
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/wild...-on-doors/

Politico senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein was roasted online after he suggested that a YouTuber investigating the bombshell Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota could have been legally shot for knocking on doors.

“At some point, the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws,” mused Gerstein in a Monday night X post that was seemingly aimed at YouTuber Nick Shirley, whose video investigation into fraud at daycare centers has gone mega-viral.

“Funny how calls to shoot people for doing shoe-leather investigative reporting only emerge when it’s reporting the national political press isn’t doing & doesn’t want done,” mused National Review‘s Dan McLaughlin.

That’s the point Tom. There were no kids any daycare he went to. Did you even watch a part of his video?

Nick Shirley likely carries. I can’t see a Conservative media reporter doing what they do and not after Jaime White and Charlie Kirk were gunned down by crazed Leftists

If a Leftist pulls a gun, put them down.

That’s my attitude. I carry everywhere I go. I have never had to pull my weapon. If I ever do pull it, I will use it.

It's unfortunately going to come to that Jim.

I don't carry myself, but once I'm out of the service, I plan to.

If it has nothing to do with getting Trump, Tom ignores it and calls it fake news.

And he wonders why people like me vehemently hate him.

There are no kids.

Just inbred foreign scammers.

This is a serious question, out of curiosity, how much more evidence do you need to believe there is some element of fraud going on? What more do you need to see?

Don't bother, you'll never get a serious answer. Just the standard boilerplate talking points and trying to impugn the motives of the reporter and the reporter himself.

Never anything actually responding to the work uncovering the massive fraud going on, and next up the at-the-ready excuses and whataboutisms.

If you feel comfortable answering, what do you carry? I am pondering arming, although my wife takes convincing. As I age, I do not want to experience without a fight the mugging my then 72 year old grandfather received on the sidewalk near his home.

Haven't really given it much attention yet to be honest. I will instead wait until actual credible investigations take place...rather than amateur internet sleuths trying to make a name when they don't appear to jack squat about how anything works.

As in all things, I have no doubt there's some amount of fraud.
