“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.” – Michael Moore*
Filmmaker Michael Moore’s bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York’s JFK airport Wednesday night..
Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.
Moore’s 2003 Oscar-winning film “Bowling for Columbine” criticizes what Moore calls America’s “culture of fear” and its obsession with guns. – Foxnews
update – the story has been updated. It appears that Mr. Burke was a former Moore bodyguard.
I think in a case like this they should hold the employer responsible.
I think his body gaurd should carry a gun on the chance that it involutarily goes off.
Even though he was a former bodyguard, the point remains valid. Although he’s a gun control nut, Moore believes that he deserves the protection of an armed escort.
