Title: Shooting in Las Vegas
Post by: Ben on June 08, 2014, 08:14:31 PM
Two police officers killed in a diner, one Walmart shopper killed. The shooters, one male, one female, killed each other.

Does this sound a bit "Pulp Fiction" to anyone?

Yeah but Punkin and Hunny Bunny had every intention of getting out of there alive.

Given the revolution comment, and targeting cops, seems like they were trying to continue the Moncton shooter's efforts.

It will be interesting to see if this is confirmed by subsequent reports.

A report I heard said they were Neo Nazis.  It did confirm the antipolice/government attitudes as well.
A truly horrible situation, perpetrated by NeoWhackos.

Well, the media is going to love this, if true.

Its time to take control of the language- they were Neo National Socialists.

Second time in the last year or so cops were targeted while sitting and eating.

Topics (on in RT and one in Politics) merged.  Left in Politics given the apparent motivations of the shooters.

I also saw media is mentioning the Gadsden Flag used to cover the victims along side the neo-nazi identification of the shooters. It won't be long before the MSM couples the flag with extremists (not that they already don't).

Strange strange shootings in Vegas - the cops were ambushed than had Gadsen Flags placed on their corpses - reportedly the couple that did it were also kicked off the bundy ranch .... just a weird story - weird.

The shooters kill two cops, drape them with Gadsden flags, GO TO WAL MART, shoot someone else . . . and then yell about a "Revolution" and commit suicide?

A planned double murder with no planned escape or getaway?  ???

Bizarre . . . wonder if they were looking for those particular cops or if any cop would do?

I noticed whoever wrote the story tried to tie the shooters to the Tea Party via their use of the Gadsden flags..  :facepalm:

So maybe mind control doesn't seem like such a crazy scenario.

I know, tighten down the  [tinfoil] .

What do you mean about them not knowing the Gadsden flag?

Here's the passage about the flag:
Quote
Authorities say the suspects, Jerad and Amanda Miller, draped “Don’t Tread On Me” flags on the bodies of the officers. The Gadsden flag has been an adopted symbol for the Tea Party.

What bothers you about it?

From a news article: 
Quote
. . . covered the officers with the Gadsden flag, a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, “Don’t tread on Me,” and placed a manifesto with a swastika symbol on one officer’s body.
So they were revolutionary patriots paying homage to the American revolution . . . with a manifesto adorned with a Nazi swastika? Were THEY espousing Nazi philosophy, or were they accusing .gov of going Nazi?

Either way, from their actions they weren't all there upstairs. (Note their ages - 31 and 22. They LOOK older in their pictures. Druggies?)

^^^ I had read elsewhere that they also had a history of smoking meth, which ages you prematurely.

That might have been the plan all along.

While some of you all worry about how the media is spinning the story against the Tea Party, I'll hold up the articles like this and relax just a bit...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/09/wilcox-vegas-shooting-hate/10261163/


That said, we've often talked about how a CCW holder should respond to an active shooter situation...protect family first, then escape.  We're not there to be heroes.  I guess this CCW holder didn't get the memo, and tried to do the heroic thing.  May he rest in peace, his pistol by his side.

He stepped up, like most Americans would have done 50 years ago, before our balls were cut off by the nanny state.
 Ain't no guarantees in life, sometimes you lose. But at least he tried, and amazingly, the Sheriff commended his attempt.

Agreed. The time he cost and distraction he caused the shooters may have saved other lives.
