To Akron Beacon Journal, 'Defense' Walks (almost) never happened

11:59am Wednesday, November 19, 2003

It seems they've tried very hard at the Akron Beacon-Journal not to cover the statewide news story that is the 'Defense' Walk movement. Leave it to one of their own - another gun-grabbing open carry advocate - to "out" the subject in a letter to the editor:

Holstered guns act as deterrent

One wonders if Beacon Journal readers have the slightest idea what Mr. Harrison was talking about, given the Beacon Journal's refusal to cover these Walks as they occurred.

The editors may intentionally be avoiding coverage of the 'Defense' Walks, but the issue of their city's crime problem is all over their paper:

Nov. 15: Police seek 2 men in robbery of couple

Nov. 15: Barberton holdup caught on tape

Nov. 19: Canton man sought in McDonald's heist
