Fox News had a brief story on the shooting this morning - sounded like Soles was the victim of a home invasion by strangers.
I've sent their newsroom more info - hopefully they will do a clarification.
The news media, with the exception of WWAY TV, has sat on these scandals for years. And of course Soles' buddies at the General Assembly have looked the other way, because they wanted his vote. If he'd been a Republcan, like Rep. Cary Allred (he was seen hugging a 17-yr old female page too closely, suspected of drinking at the GA, and had speeding tickets), he'd have been outed & forced to resign years ago.
What if he'd killed one of those young men? And it's only his word that they were actually trying to break in - what if they weren't?
This is why we need objective & fair news reporting, and ethical legislators - NO MATTER THE POLITICAL PARTY, and no matter how much bacon they bring home to their constitutents.
