You know what really burns my ass? A 3' tall tiki-torch.
You know what else burns my ass? The use of the word 'allegedly' used to describe piles of shit like the Ft. Hood Micro-Jihadist
WASHINGTON - Army superiors were warned about the radicalization of Major Nidal Malik Hasan years before he allegedly massacred 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, but did not act in part because they valued the rare diversity of having a Muslim psychiatrist, military investigators wrote in previously undisclosed reports.
It's not like they didn't catch him red handed. It's not like he hasn't told everyone who'd listen to him about his intentions. But the MSM needs to soften the story with 'alleged' because it doesn't want to seem judgmental. Only to the jihadist, though, because if a white, male homeowner defended his home with a gun against some thugs, being an unprotected class of citizen, there would be no allegations, only declarations of hard facts (except for the criminals. They get the benefit of the doubt)
Albuquerque – Last night, a man shot and killed two intruders who were allegedly attempting to rape his wife.
I realize that there is a fine line between facts as known, and facts as understood and that you need to be careful of how you present what you know. But this is a news story, not a court room document. But that's part of the media's general bias, and it's easy to spot.

In this case, the fact that the homeowner shot two men is not in dispute: that was per confession. The facts to be weighed by the jury will be evidence in support of his affirmative defense -- that they allegedly were intruders.
