Ft. Hood Shooter Ran Free for 15 to 20 Minutes — Before Being Stopped by Military Policewoman

shooter

by Gina Cassini | Top Right News

Outrageous. Reckless. Senseless. That is what many military families are calling the continuing ban on concealed carry for servicemembers on U.S. military bases. Bases like Ft. Hood, where 3 brave members of our military were gunned down by an apparently mentally-compromised Spc. Ivan Lopez.

And the outrage will only grow in light of a new shocking report that Lopez was able to remain free for 15 to 20 minutes -- more than enough time for him to kill 3 and wound 16 -- before finally being confronted by a military policewoman, whereupon he took his own life.

For contrast, the wholesale slaughter of 26 children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary took just 11 minutes.

And this psycho had "15-20 minutes". On a MILITARY BASE. Let the insanity of that sink in for a minute. And this continues to be our shameful Federal policy 5 years after Muslim jihadist Nidal Hassan gunned down 13 defenseless service members on the same base in 2009.

I’m just showing that military bases in this country have been attacked in the past, it’s nothing new, so why are our troops who are on these bases disarmed especially in time of war? It’s insane. Especially Texas which is right near our porous border. Imagine a troop of terrorists planning an attack on Fort hood like they did in Benghazi, everyone in there would be wiped out.

While living near the gate of major military bases I regularly have been in restaurants over the lunch hour which were packed full of our heroes in uniform. It often struck me as odd that if some nut job attacked I, because of CCW, would have been probably the only one able to fight back effectively. It is ridiculous. The more people eating lunch around me in uniform the more gun-free the room most likely was.

How did he get onto a military base when the DRUDGE headline the past week kept declaring ‘Govt seeking homicidal guy by the name of Lopez before he can kill a bunch of people?

I never saw a title from Drudge or anyone else that had the name Lopez in it. Do you have a link for that?

I believe there are cultural dynamics (40 years of liberalism in particular) causing a lot of this ptsd stuff. People are now ill equipped to deal with hardships.


Cultural, dietary and drug related. Plus some people are just bad people and should not be in the military (for starters).

Use Google. My point is, the govt wasn’t ‘guessing at the identity’ of Lopez. They made the announcement that they were seeking him bc he was considering a murderous rampage of some sort.

The govt could have made a couple phone calls to Army bases since the guy was recently discharged.

HOW did he get onto the base?

I have no idea if the Media stories NAMED Lopez. My point is, the govt knew EXACTLY who he was, so why didn’t they alert the military?

Answer: Moslem Brotherhood in the White House is trying to demoralize our troops by announcing a week in advance that “Mr Smith from Shooterville is on the loose, planning to kill people..... but Whoops you Army guys are unarmed and we’re gonna sneak the shooter past security so he can murder a bunch of you. Oops.’

Instances of the jihad hood & lopez on Drudge

If you want to make such a wild claim, be prepared to offer more than "use Google".

I'm calling BS on your claim.

Because Bush was anti-gun as well.

See my follow-up post to you, here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3140459/posts?page=67#67

And do your own research.

Have I scoured the web to see if anybody included the name Lopez in the frantic ‘Oh my god, the govt is trying to locate PERSON X because they think he’s about to commit a shooting rampage” stories?

No, i havent. Okay? I have not.

If you want to make that a homework assignment, I’d be curious to see if they included his name, since they claimed they were searching for a SPECIFIC MAN and they knew WHO he was.

That’s my point. I’m sorry if you misunderstood.

You make a claim, then give me homework to prove YOUR claim?

Your a funny guy.

You can bet your life the IDF goes nowhere without their weapons!!! Obama/Hagel both useless miltary haters. Obama is more turned on by “Pajama Boy”!!!

Having said that, stay tuned for developments that will emerge. I am not sure this gent was stressed or unbalanced. Too many unanswered questions about his service in Iraq and he pulled an almost replica of the 2009 murders. Of course....thanks to Obama, Hasan lives the life of luxury in his prison cell eating ice cream every night while he waits for the “grim reaper” that might not ever come, if Obama has his way. I smell a rat.....just can’t put my finger on it!!!

Satan (Obama) is alive and well and resides in the White House courtesy of the “sheeple” American people!!!! God bless and protect the USA military!!!

The IDF ensures that weapons are either with the soldier (or soldierette)while on duty, while on base or off base. Once they are home they can lock it up but the to and fro travels show them with the weapons all the time.
