Anti-Government Gunman Killed in Shootout
According to witnesses, the shooter, identified as John Patrick Bedell, 36, of Hollister, California, walked into the subway entrance of the Department of Defense headquarters, and without any warning or expression, simply pulled a handgun out of his pocket and began shooting.
Unfortunately for Mr. Bedell, two Pentagon police officers returned fire with semi-automatic weapons, mortally wounding him. His death was confirmed midnight last night. The two police officers were only grazed by the bullets of Mr. Bedell's weapon.
It didn't take long for the media to link the shooter to another anti-government attacker, Joe Stack, who flew his small plane in a suicide dive straight into an IRS building, killing one employee and causing extensive damage to the building himself.
Naturally, the media is focusing on the shooters anti-government stance and will eventually link him to the right-wing organizations, such as the Tea Party movement, and not his conspiracy theories of the 9-11 attacks and his hatred of the military, something that the liberals are known for, just as they focused on Joe Stacks hatred of the government and IRS, rather than his hatred for capitalism, President Bush, and wealthy corporations as well.
Officials have also stated that while they have not as of yet found any links to terrorism in the shooting, they have not ruled it out either.
So... we have a Muslim soldier (Nidal Malik Hassan) walk into a military facility and shot 15 soldiers to death and wound another 30, and it's classified as an "isolated incident". An anti-government white male gunshots grazes two police officers in a subway entrance to the Department of Defense headquarters, and it's linked to "terrorism".
Am I the only one that sees something wrong here?
