So he asks actually challenges the people in the room to tell him why they need a assault style weapon or a high capacity clip 2 times looking around, then goes on to say no one answers me; a few people answer him and that is heckling? I love how the chairman says "do not reply or I will clear the room" he asked for a reply you git.
National and international media are up in arms today over the story of Neil Heslin, father of slain Sandy Hook student Jesse Lewis, being heckled yesterday during a Connecticut legislative meeting. During his testimony, in which he called for stricter gun control measures, Heslin was reportedly interrupted by shouts from Second Amendment activists.Twitchy (http://twitchy.com/2013/01/29/outrageous-how-the-left-wing-media-lied-about-newtown-hecklers/)
Except no. Not really. MSNBC is propping up its story with a blatantly edited video. In fact, Heslin was not heckled. Gun rights advocates in the audience indeed voiced their support for the Second Amendment — after he asked why anyone would need “assault-style weapons or high-capacity clips.†You’d never know based on the MSNBC version, which completely cut out the footage of Heslin’s question.
Fortunately, Twitchy has obtained the full, unedited video, which you can view for yourself below (relevant portion starts at the 15-minute mark).

I wonder if George Zimmerman has anything to say about this.
The DUmmies are still swallowing the story hook, line and sinker.

@EricBoehlert What heckling are you referring to? There was no heckling. If you can't be truthful you become part of the problem. #Honesty

Civility, decency must return. Per @KenDixonCT: "Father of Newtown shooting victim heckled by gun enthusiasts at legislative hearing."

It is a hoax! :mental: :bird:
It wasn't a hoax. It was a deliberate attempt to mislead the public with propaganda to further their political ideology.
