vatech police ordered to standdown...more fodder for the tinfoil set: http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/va_tech_shooting_feds_ordered_va_police_stand_down.htm Sources: Feds Ordered VA Police To Stand Down Local authorities were told to take no action to pursue killer Prison Planet | April 20, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson Police and EMT workers at Virginia Tech tell us that campus police were given a federal order to stand down and not pursue killer Cho Seung-Hui as Monday's bloodshed unfolded. Though wishing to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, we have received calls from police and EMT's who tell us that a stand down order was in place, and this is also confirmed by eyewitness Matt Kazee, who is a Blacksburg local. Kazee talked to local EMT's and police who told him the same thing, that the order was to wait until federal back up arrived before any action was taken. This explains the complete non-response of the police in the two hour gap between Cho's first two murders and the wider rampage that would follow later that morning. The policy of federal control over the University was put in place following a previous shooting in August 2006 in which a police officer and a hospital security guard were killed. <table align="center" border="0" width="468"> <tbody><tr> <td bgcolor="#000000"> <table bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td> <script type="text/javascript">adsonar_placementId=1279946;adsonar_pid=703767;adsonar_ps=2394224;adsonar_zw=468;adsonar_zh=120;adsonar_jv='ads.adsonar.com';</script> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://js.adsonar.com/js/adsonar.js"></script><form id="qas_frm" name="qas_frm" method="get" action="" target=""><input name="ie52_mac_only" value="" type="hidden"></form><iframe name="adsonar_serve363208" id="adsonar_serve363208" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" src="http://ads.adsonar.com/adserving/getAds.jsp?&placementId=1279946&pid=703767&ps=2394224&zw=468&zh=120&url=http%3A//www.infowars.com/articles/us/va_tech_shooting_feds_ordered_va_police_stand_down.htm&v=5" frameborder="0" height="120" scrolling="no" width="468"></iframe> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> (advertisement) </td> </tr> </tbody></table> In addition, a former long-term University police officer, George French, told the Alex Jones Show that it is routine to seal off a campus on which a suspected gunman is loose. “Setting up a series of roadblocks, controlling access to very large pieces of property, is very much routine on any university campus in Canada and in the United States,” said French. “After a double homicide, when you're looking for a dangerous fellow with a firearm, I find it unfathomable that a series of roadblocks weren't set up…to prevent the felon from escaping.” French could find no logical conclusion other than deliberate inaction on the part of officials. “We have another coordinated, allowed event…the parallels are so common in each case; you can write the script in advance.”
Oh, here we go. Not that I would really doubt it or anything. Careful, Tango.... for a while anybody expressing these things will come under fire as being insensitive and unpatriotic. They'll be labled as conspiracy nuts and dismissed (at least until the truth comes out and they're vindicated).
Not at all, this is the proper place for discussions of this matter. That being said I think this is probably is b.s. The Feds do not have any jurisdiction over even the campus cops in this case. Not to mention, why would the federal gov. get involved in a case where two people were killed in a dorm? Remember, that between the two shootings the authorities only knew about the two murders in the dorm. This is a 2,600 acre campus. I have no doubt the shooter killed the two people at one end of the campus so that law enforcement would be drawn to that area which is half a mile away from Norris Hall where the massacre truly took place. In LE "post Columbine" the tactic that is overwhelmingly taught and used is to storm the area actively looking for the shooter, instead of the "pre-Columbine" tactic of securing the perimeter then sending in a fire team. LE agencies from City, County, State and at the Fed. level know from past experiences that a shooter(s) in the school setting is not going to be a hostage negotiation, but rather an active shooter looking to do the most damage he can. It's just my two cents, but it seems like Alex Jones can make any incident into an investigation worthy of Mulder and Scully.
I take most things from Alex Jones's mouth with a 50# bag of salt. But I do admit that when I can listen to him he will get me thinking. But then again...It's the same for Rush,Hannity & O'Reilly. Look at their agenda and then listen to the lefties....the fact's are somewhere in the middle.
I was skepticaly smacking my fore head : it was like two days after it and christ "the feddys did it" I thought that was overreaching even for Alex... I still read his site mostly every evening for my fill of tinfoil news......
He is probably a little like Rush, he will bring up some valid points and good arguments at times, but a lot of it is just that they are spouting to attract viewers and ratings. Remember, they have a stake in promoting discontent.
