Rockland County, NY - As fallout continues from The Journal News’ controversial decision to publish the names and addresses of licensed gun holders in Westchester and Rockland counties, one blogger has called out the newspaper for its irresponsible actions and retaliated by publishing the personal contact information for The Journal News staff.
According to a report by the Huffington Post (http://huff.to/TDcoWL), Christopher Fountain posted the names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media pages, and in some cases, photographs, of the paper’s publisher, editor and other staff members who were involved in creating the gun owner’s map.
In an interview with CNN, Fountain explained why he opted to respond in kind, saying, “Somehow, [The Journal News was] conflating legal gun owners with some crazed, tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how’d they’d like it if their addresses were published.”
