We're the Only Ones Misquoted Enough?

 I NEVER made the statement Mr. Williams claims. [More]
Here's what Lee says.

Here's what prompted the sheriff's denial. It includes the source story  by MARGIE MENZEL - NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA, with these quotes:
The Florida Sheriffs Association would not comment Thursday. But Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, a staunch opponent of open carry, said the four amendments wouldn't make the bill acceptable to him --- or safe for people who openly display their guns.
For instance, he said, if an officer arrives at the scene of a crime and sees someone with a weapon, "At a minimum, they're going to be thrown down on the ground with a gun pointed at them --- or worse."
And if good citizen with a concealed weapon walks into, say, a bank during an armed robbery, Gualtieri added, "he's going to take one in the chest because he's a threat."
Here's the modified story as appearing in The Daytona Beach News-Journal with the whole end of the original story cut out.

I wonder if Margie scribbled or recorded...

David, this is truly eye-opening journalism!

Say, did you see the tub of butter?

"New Look!"

Ironic, yes?
