FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump’s gun policies are “not just way out there” but “dangerous” and would make America less safe, Hillary Clinton said Saturday.
“This is someone running to be president of the United States of America – a country facing a gun violence epidemic – and he’s talking about more guns in our schools, he’s talking about more hatred and division in our streets,” the likely Democratic presidential nominee said of her presumptive Republican rival. “That’s no way to keep us safe.”
Clinton’s criticism of the Trump came the day after he slammed her as “Heartless Hillary” for backing restrictions on gun ownership in a speech before the National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky.
Clinton spoke at a conference organized by the Trayvon Martin Foundation to help mothers whose children or other relatives have died from shootings. It was led by Sybrina Fulton, whose 17-year-old son, Trayvon Martin, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012. She has campaigned with Clinton during the Democratic presidential primaries.
“The reason why I stand with her is because she first stood with me,” Fulton said before introducing Clinton to more than 200 people packed inside a hotel banquet room.
Queen Thompson Brown, a Miami mother whose son was the victim of gun violence in 2006 and who has mentored Fulton, said she and others do not want to take away guns from Americans but hope to “promote common sense gun laws.”
Clinton praised the courage of Fulton and others who had suffered the loss of loved ones to gun violence or while in police custody.
“We have a moral obligation to protect our children no matter what zip code they live in,” she said.
She then turned her attention to Trump and his gun policies.
“If you want to imagine what Trump’s America will look like, picture more kids at risk of violence and bigotry, picture more anger and fear,” she said.
Clinton repeated her pledge to fight the powerful National Rifle Association lobby, saying “we will not be silenced, we will not be intimidated.”
The gun rights organization endorsed Trump, even though he had previously supported measures like an assault weapons ban that the NRA vigorously opposes. The group applauded Trump’s call for ending “gun-free zones” across the country.

Conservative activist Lauren Souther claimed on Friday that Facebook deleted one of her posts because it didn’t “follow the Facebook Community Standards.”
Ironically, the post was about Facebook allegedly “censoring” one of her conservative friends.
“As I suspected my friend who res Disdain for Plebs has been banned on all his accounts that run the page AND Facebook deleted his post calling them out for censoring conservatives. This is utterly insane,” she wrote in the offending post.
She was later notified her post had been deleted and her account would be suspended for 30 days.

After her story went viral, Souther said she received an apology from Facebook and her post and account were restored. However, she expressed skepticism about the social network’s motivation for fixing the “error.”
Got an apology email from facebook saying it was an "error." These errors seem a tad bias.

Only reason I got unbanned was b/c of Drudge/HeatSt/Infowars – that's unacceptable. Smaller pages are being banned w/ no public awareness.

In a meeting with conservative leaders last week, Zuckerberg reportedly vowed to keep Facebook an “open” platform that includes varying viewpoints. The meeting came after anonymous former news curators claimed the “Trending Topics” feed routinely excluded conservative news.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Ten years after Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro tragically broke down at the start of the Preakness, the owners of the popular colt watched another horse they bred die during a race on a rainy Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.
In a tragic start to a day that ended with Exaggerator upsetting Nyquist in the 141st Preakness Stakes, Gretchen and Roy Jackson’s 4-year-old filly Pramedya broke down during the fourth race on the Preakness undercard, and was euthanized on the track. The filly’s jockey, Daniel Centeno, broke his collarbone in the spill that occurred on the turn of a race run over a wet turf course.
“It’s ironic, right?” Roy Jackson told The Associated Press. “It was tough to watch.”
In the opening race of day, Homeboykris collapsed and died after winning and having his picture taken in the winner’s circle. Pimlico officials believe the 9-year-old gelding suffered cardiovascular collapse. The horse was being taken to New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania for an autopsy – the same animal hospital Barbaro was taken to after his break down.
Racing officials said Pramedya broke her left front cannon bone.
In an Eerie coincidence, the fourth race was won by Truly Together, trained by Michael Matz, who was Barbaro’s trainer.
In 2006, Barbaro shattered bones in his right hind leg just after the start of the Preakness, survived surgery but developed laminitis and was euthanized in January, 2007.
Homeboykris won the Champagne Stakes in 2009, and a year later finished 16th in the Kentucky Derby. He had just won his 14th race in 63 career starts.
“You never like to see that happen,” Maryland Jockey Club President Sal Sinatra said. “Little different instances – the first one, he actually won the race and on his way back collapsed. So he’ll go for a necropsy. The other horse, he was handling the turf well and I don’t know what happened. I had my inspectors check it out, and everybody’s fine with that (the turf).
“And of course, Barbaro’s connection with it makes it worse,” he added.
In March, The Jockey Club released 2015 statistics for the frequency of fatal injury showing that the fatality rate was 1.62 deaths per 1,000 starts across all surfaces, ages and distances. In 2014, according to the Equine Injury Base, the rate was 1.89 per 1,000 starts.
Later Saturday, Derby winner Nyquist was set to take on 10 rivals in the Preakness Stakes.

Editors at the Huffington Post found themselves the target of ridicule after posting a photo intended to celebrate their diversity.
Huffington Post executive editor Liz Heron posted the photo on Friday and posed the question, “Notice anything about this @HuffingtonPost editors meeting?”
Notice anything about this @HuffingtonPost editors meeting?
As it turns out, many people did. Several of the news website’s conservative critics mockingly noted the lack of ethnic — and gender — diversity at the meeting.
.@lheron I was told that inferring gender identity based on physical characteristics was the height of bigotry, intolerance. How dare you.
