Didnt take long for politics to materialize in Colorados Batman killings.
The likes of ABCs Brian Ross were quick to point out that alleged killer James Holmes is a member of the Colorado Tea Party. Wrong Holmes, by the way, and that storys been retracted!
Then came Conservative radio talker Laura Ingraham. She gave ample air time this morning to a Florida private investigator who claims the theater shooting bears the fingerprints of left-wing terrorism.
Theres always a Florida angle: Click to register for the alerts
Left wing terror?
Sarasota private investigator Bill Warner told Ingraham that suspect Holmes fits the profile to a t of a member of the Black Bloc a little known group of violent, black-clad and gas mask-wearing anarchists who piggy-back on the non-violent Occupy movement during anti-Wall Street protests.
I guess Laura saw my work on this matter and called me to be on the air, said Warner, who works on insurance fraud and cheating spouses by day. Theres no public information available on James Holmes anywhere. No car, no credit card, no nothing. I checked. Black Bloc members use cash and dont buy cars so that they can go underground.
(Holmes) age, the black clothes and gas mask he was wearing, the facts he is white and underground, the facts he is a drifter prone to over-the-top violence, it all fits. Batman features an Occupy-type bad guy and this nut job may have taken it personally.
One federal investigator told CBS this morning that Holmes indeed remained under the radar. He dropped out of medical school recently.
Authorities are still trying to disarm elaborate booby traps left in Holmes apartment.
Early this morning, Holmes allegedly materialized inside a theater during the movie and methodically shot viewers. So far, twelve are dead and 38 injured. Holmes was arrested shortly thereafter.
Warner has no evidence tying Holmes to Occupy but says hes been studying the Black Bloc for long enough to know
My interest in this came when the Black Bloc first appeared in Sarasota, Warner said. I found that the group included convicted felons and drug dealers. Within hours, I was getting all kinds of emails about Occupy and these Black Bloc people.
Warner said he expects the group to be involved in violence at the Republican National Convention in August in Tampa.
In May, five members of the group was arrested in Cleveland as they planned to bomb a bridge.
Ingraham has yet to reply to an email request comment about Warners segment.
Indeed, watch the media BURY this.
RIP to the victims.
So the Black Bloc link is just pure speculation at this point.
I’m betting the movie will be pulled from theaters and the occupy part will be edited out.
This is bull shit.
of course, and it’s all a coincidence anyway.
Sound familiar?
HHS and Napolitano will jump on the Black Bloc pronto, right? If only they are not obsessively preoccupied with rightwingers.
Why?
FR needs a “like” button.
What sounds familiar is the mass murders at a political camp in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik.
Remember that one ?
So, basically this “private investigator”, who has never net & does not know Holmes, is talking out of his backside.
I didn’t comment on the quality of the speculation, just noted that there is no evidence. I do believe that if there were any political points to be made, the admin and the media would have trumpeted it already. Something obviously doesn’t suit their needs.
Don’t bet too much on that. It would cost WB millions.
Non-violent Occupy movement? Tell that to law enforcement in several jurisdictions, especially Oakland, sport.
We should ban these harmful programs, Especially Blakes 7..... For obvious reasons...
Use this media incident today July 20, 2012, ABC news, and Brian Ross as a reminder about how the news on the left reports.
Show me the link which confirms this. Otherwise, STFU.
