Expect more “False Flag” atrocities with firearms in general and especially “Bushmaster High Capacity Ammunition Magazine Assault Rifle” type firearms in the coming days. Especially just before the new congress is sworn in. Or some type of Executive Order. Which won’t be challenged by congress or the courts.
Bet on it.
Buy your High Capacity magazines NOW. Expect pricing to go way up in the next few weeks.
Let us assume that the official stories about the last few shooting incidents are 100% true. That the crimes were committed in the exact ways that the officials involved state that have stated. That all the inconsistencies are just coincidental. That all the similarities are also just coincidence. That everything went down just as they said it did. That all of the reports of a second or third person were false, or misreported.
Then lets look at a few things:
Since 1 in 17 people in the US (13 million) have a serious or debilitating mental illness (NIMH).
And:
Since the last 3 attempted mass shootings were perpetrated by people with severe mental health or emotional or behavioral issues:
And:
Since the current calls for gun control are to ban “Assault Weapons” because they were used in the last few mass shootings. And no doubt will be used in the future if Something Isn’t Done Immediately…
And since those advocating for such controls or bans are claiming that they are out to make the country safer. (“It’s for the children!”)
One would then surmise that along with an “Assault Weapons” ban, they would support, in addition, the incarceration and or imprisonment of every one of those approximately 13 million people diagnosed with a serious or debilitating mental illness.You know, those who might harbor homicidal thoughts and all.
Perhaps even the euthanization of these (extremely) dangerous people. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of these people?
I mean, since these people can, apparently at will, purchase of otherwise acquire a deadly “Assault Weapon” with “High Capacity Ammunition Magazines” with which to perpetrate their mass murder schemes. one would think that this would be a good start to keep the rest of us safe….Right? It’s not the sportsman who does this, nor the average law abiding citizen, it is the ones with a mental issue, disease, or defect, right? The ones with high level autism, or emotional problems, or others who are, for a time, able to seemingly cope with their issues and be a part of our society…until they snap and become dangerous….You never can tell when the urge might strike them, you know.
I fully realize that few of these people will, actually commit a mass murder, ore even a single murder. But few, if any of the so called “Assault Weapons” will be used for that purpose either.
So along with the weapons ban , in order to make the country safer, we should lock up any of those we already know might have issues and decide to hurt or kill others.
Make things safer in the future, you know. Trampling on a few rights is OK, as long as it saves even one life and all that…..Right?
(No, I am not advocating that we round up or incarcerate (or euthanize) any of these people with mental issues. I merely brought it up to demonstrate the absurdity of the entire “Assault weapons” ban argument.)
13 million of our fellow citizens with mental disease didn’t commit acts of atrocity yesterday. Nor did 40 million gun owners, nor 8 million “Assault Rifles”. I don’t, for a moment, advocate that we remove the rights of the folks with mental issues, nor do I believe that we should remove the rights of firearms owners….and for the same reasons.
More of this.
All across the country.
Starting immediately.
Add a $1k fine for every day an illegal works. Per employee,
It’d solve the unemployment issue overnight. (not that many of the people would want those jobs, but they’d at least have jobs available.)
The illegals will come to wherever there is a job. If there isn’t any jobs (because potential employers would be unwilling to hire illegals) then there would be no illegals.
The only thing that I wonder about in this instance is who did he forget to pay off?
And I have to ask myself:
While I have always accepted that there are monsters in this world, I always expected that they would look like monsters.
Today, I cannot be sure of that.
I am wondering if the real monsters of this world camouflage themselves to look like normal, decent people.
The early reports of the shootings were, obviously, confused. Much was said which was wrong, or only a part of the picture, or was confused or mixed up.
However: at approximately 3:00 pm Central, CBS (national) had an eyewitness state that there had been two shooters, and one of them had killed himself. When asked about the other shooter, he stated “he’s locked up in that car over there” (or words to that effect) pointing to a cluster of police cars.
Now reports are that the shooter was all alone, and there were no accomplices. That it was the disturbed son of a teacher.
Odd…. I was sure that I had witnessed the CBS broadcast, yet I cannot find that portion now. I was wondering if my memory was faulty….Apparently that clip went down the memory hole….
Others (see comments) noticed this as well.
This could be poor reporting in the rush to get something out on the air, but I don’t think so. I saw what I saw, and heard what I heard.
If what I am thinking has happened, and what I am suspecting has been perpetrated, then someone is a very evil person. If it is possible that one deranged man would do this, then is it not possible that several deranged (yet seemingly normal)people might make such a tragedy incident happen in order to further their agenda?
There were similar issues over the reporting of the Aurora shooting in the movie theater. two people became one shortly after the situation “clarified”. Yet the reports were clear at first, then disappeared. Discrepancies are still not explained in the reports from that incident. Handlers? helpers? Controlling a crazed and or drugged patsy? ?
I hate to sound like a conspiracy nut. But really, that does not preclude the possibility that there is a conspiracy.
Could people really be that evil?
ETA: and now it seems the (current) reporting (via the Medical Examiner) is that the majority of the wounds were from the “Assault Rifle” found IN THE CAR after the fact, rather than one of the 2 pistols found with the body of the perpetrator. Interesting that the shooter had the time to carry the rifle to the car and carefully stow it in the trunk before returning to the scene and painting the walls with his brain.
Strange. I know I sound like a broken record here, but the “coincidences” keep piling up. Can a rational person not wonder?Especially after watching the Sunday morning “news” shows, all promoting “gun control” so heavily in the wake of the shooting?
ETA2:
Bad reporting? I dunno. Why would the kid make the statement that he did? Yeah, I know this is tinfoil hat stuff. But still. Makes ya wonder.
20+ people killed…. many of them children
The press is in full “We must have an assault weapon ban!”mode.
As I watch, CBS is discussing the “large caliber .223 assault weapon with high capacity magazine” firearm used in the shooting (then they state that this is unconfirmed).
I cannot wonder, again, if this is not planned and executed as a means of further enacting gun control by demonizing these weapons in the minds of the public.
I find the thought that I can consider this of my politicians and other leaders to be disturbing.
Yet, it is true. I cannot discount my suspicion that some people could help perpetrate such a tragedy to gain their ends.
More details may change my mind. We really don’t know enough to decide anything yet.
My prayers are with the families and survivors.
When the protests were happening in Lansing, Michigan, there sere some innocent bystanders caught up in the melee.
Now, on the one hand, the viewpoint of the union thugs protesters is that it is a binary solution set. There are those who agree with the union viewpoint, and those who don’t. I am sure that in the mind of the protesters, anyone associated in any way with the opposition viewpoint was fair game. Mr Tarver was hired to hand out hot dogs by the opposing side, American For Prosperity.
This is, sadly, not true. Were it, then I would have the ability to trash the homes and property of every owner that displays “Proud Union Home” on their front lawn. I don’t have that right. No one does. They have a right to belong to a union, and their choice should not enable or justify others to do violence against them for their choices.
The union members protesting the choice of the people’s representatives to allow free and open workplaces (rather than forcing people whose workplaces may or may not have a union which claims to represent everyone from joining said union) felt, with justification, that they could get away with such public violence. (Why they do get away with it is another discussion, for another time).
Sadly, the individuals who perpetrated this sort of violence will, indeed, likely find that there are no consequences to their actions. This will likely continue until the rest of us have had enough and decide to take our gloves off and confront the bullies and make them understand that their actions will not be tolerated. Until they find out that being part of a union has negative consequences for their daily lives. Luckily for them, the rest of us are better behaved than they are.
Having said that, I am proud that the rest of the citizens of the city and state (and, in fact elsewhere) chose to help Mr. Tarver (who was just trying to make a decent living) recover from the damages wrought by the union thugs and bullyboys proud Union members that day.
Having had my own experiences with threats of violence from people who think that just because they were members of a union they could dictate terms on a jobsite, and having a friend who brought this current incident to my attention (and who, for her own reasons (violence, lies, and threats), felt that she should not blog about this) I felt that I should bring this to your attention. She (and I) have donated (anonymously) a few bucks to help Mr.Tarver recover from this. I hope, in fact, that the donations are more than his losses, so that he can expand his business, and stick a finger in the eye of the unions and their members who showed their character that day.
If you feel like it, and have a buck or two to spare, think about donating. Stick a finger in the eye of the thugs.
ETA: some good commentary on the incident HERE
The mall shooting near Portland has striking similarities to the Aurora shootings.
Face mask, “Assault weapon” (specifically an AR) and body armor. Hmmm. One wonders
Name of shooter currently (as of posting) withheld.
Weapon jammed.
All, strangely, details also in the Aurora CO shooting. With a mask, no one can be sure who was actually doing the shooting…..
Odd.
If one were a suspicious type of person, who sees conspiracies in such things, one might wonder.
Especially in light of the Fast and Furious debacle. I have wondered if the Aurora shooter was also supposed to wind up dead as well.
Interesting witness quotes:
“I couldn’t count because they were going off so quick,” Referring to the speed of the shots
“He looked like a teenager wearing a gun, like a bullet-proof vest and
he had a machine, like an assault rifle and a white mask and he looked
at me,” she said.
One might wonder if they (the witness statements) were scripted…… If one were willing to see things like that.
How many eggs must the gun grabbers break in order to make that omelet? Just wondering….
I’d bet that there is legislation waiting in the wings. Legislation to restrict the possession of AR (or “high capacity” “assault weapons”. Already at hand….Just a coincidence, of course.
Look: I am not making light of this tragedy. But the coincidences keep piling up.
And I don’t trust our government not to lie to us, nor manipulate us, nor to protect our freedoms.
In an airport landing pattern.
Maybe they did know something?
Either way, It appears that they felt that their prognosticators knew….and they wanted us to know too.
So they left us “Delay Mail”.
(some will get the reference, some won’t).
