Helo Pilot: TF is correct; you’re only HALF right. Yes, the reporter pulled those questions out of her own head and directed them at him from her own mouth and under conditions she arranged and directed. But, once the hard drive from that camera goes back to the station and its contents shown on a monitor for staff, and SOMEONE makes the AFFIRMATIVE DECISION to purposely HOLD AIR TIME in THEIR news broadcast, then the station is completely complicit in that performance. She is simply slime, and the station management and editorial staff are further slime for APPROVING the air time for that segment. And I wonder, out loud, if her being Mexican has anything to do with what is and what will happen to her. . .

WAKE UP! The â€™story airingâ€™ isnâ€™t the story here people. Her demeanor and line of questioning towards this crime victim/war veteran IS the story. No editor can take that back

You’re right, they can’t take it back but a decent editor and producer would never have let it air…

That doesn’t change the fact that Aguilar IS a dirt bag, but there are more folks to blame on this than just her…

WAKE UP! The ‘story airing’ isn’t the story here people. Her demeanor and line of questioning towards this crime victim/war veteran IS the story. No editor can take that back. Mr. Walton experienced it in real time. Unless you conspiracy mined folks think she had an earphone and was being fed the questions – then WAKE UP and face the fact that SHE is the story and no ones else should be held responsible for her actions.

Whether the story ran or not – the fact of the matter is the QUESTION ‘Are you trigger happy’ was asked of this War Veteran. No redub, edit or censor could change the fact that she asked an ignorant question with a derogatory, skeptical tone. – in an obvious effort to further her personal anti-gun agenda.

She asked a hurtful question – so hurtful that the gentleman could not contain his emotions. It doesn’t matter that the editors let this story air or not – she asked the question – no edit can erase that from the mind of the person who was asked.

So she’s still a dirtbag for asking it – edit or not – airing or not. That my friends is why SHE, and no one else, is on leave – hopefully a permanent one.

typical of left wing media who figures that the criminal has all the rights. I figure that the right to own property implies the right to protect it and if the law cannot protect it then it is up to the property owner. Of course the left wing figures it is all theirs and they have a right to it…

Malagent, we may NEED it too… KDFW has one hell of a black eye, and they are none too happy about it either…

Fred, I knew they were going to do the cease & desist thing so the moment I could I acquired the video, I’ve already circulated it around a bit and if they end up trying to force me to remove it I will end up in a Dallas court before I take it down. They can pull it from YouTube but they can’t take it off my hard drive. And I have my own servers.

ARRA, “Pull a Dan Rather”, that is the most appropriate terminology I have heard applied to this so far, outstanding..

I guess freedom of the press and speech is okay for the news station if their videos depict them in a good light but if their reporters look bad they want to pull a “Dan Rather” and hide everything.

This lady needs to be fired as well as those that are in authority over her and authorized this video to be aired. What happened to this man’s right to bear arms, he was not a criminal, he was defending himeself and his place of business. Yet, SHE was attacking him – the victim!

Aguilar should be ashamed of herself. That includes as you say Fred, the producer and manager as well. They all should be given their walking papers.

That poor man was shaking. He had been through a (albeit justified) harrowing experience, twice in two weeks time. One can only imagine the toll it took on him. Yet she hounded him. What a pariah.

Why could the story not of highlighted, the bravery of an American defending his life, home and business?
