Thanks for updates.
It will be interesting to listen to the knee-jerk media reactions. Yesterday during the coverage of Binghamton, over on MSNBC, Norah O’Donnell was convinced before we had ANY info on the shooter that he was an anti-immigration militia type. Geraldo was convinced it was someone who was “screwed by the system”.
Talk about revealing wishful-thinking projections...
i didn’t ‘hear’ zionist; but the friend on pxi said he ‘wasn’t a member of a militia.’ There was another friend, the one who said he went to HS w/him, and I think they both gave ‘statements’ kinda interviews...not just talking/responding to reporters. Weird.
It has also been disclosed that poploski was (in addition to being kicked out of Marines) he was ‘kicked out of’ North Catholic HS as well.
They are escorting at least 1 of the medical examiner vans to the morgue.
This dont look good
Oh, he said “zionists”. But, this so called friend is odd, to say the least.
Just on the heels of the Oakland shooting which, as you know, had 4 cops killed and several others hurt....today’s shooting 3 dead police...
I would wait til the police have the news confernece at 1500 hrs to see what they say.
Well if he was kicked out of boot camp he’s not an ex-marine.
Are you sure that this is an actual friend?
Remember the priest that died in the World Trade Center was reported to be homosexual by a homosexual activist who jumped into the story. Turns out he barely knew him and people who really knew the priest couldn’t cooberate the story.
Well there ya go! - sleeveless shirt! It’s a giveaway, probably a disgruntled CEO on the run.
Confirmed by local pgh media, three pittsburgh police officers killed.
Per andy shehan, kdka, two officers killed in house; then perp went to second story window. Cars on street ‘riddled with bullets.’ Fire fight to try and re-enter poploski house to retrive injured officers.
Per Andy Shehann,
The set up a perimeter around the house; city pd; city swat; allegheny county sheriff; pa state police; all commanded to fire on second story at once so officers could get into house to get officers; rescue of officers under a hail of gunfire. One officer already dead when they got to him; huge gun battle to get injured officers out.
Jon Burnett, kd weather man ‘knows’ guns, he is in on the interview w/Shehan (at the scene). Poploski’s range was approximately three football fields with guns he had...officers did not stand a chance; Poploski was out drinking the night before...conjection on Shehan’s part, saying that that is what may have caused the initial domestic fight in house. And then it escalated. Two units reponded to initial ‘domestic’ situation.
Prayers to all....
Just giving the local reports that are happening real time. The perp/actor has at least two incredibly odd/weird friends, seeking camera face time?, who are all over the local stations ‘talking’ about his political beliefs.
that is horrible news two shootings in a few weeks time 7 dead cops in shootings...4 dead in Oakland, CA and now today 3 dead in Pittsburgh,PA..
Not to mention the massacre in Binghamton, New York, 13 innocent dead(gunman committed suicide)..sad sad sad sad sad sad sad!!!!
Breaking the Binghamton, New York killer was not fired/laid off by IBM...was a different job....
Thanks for the update. I think it behooves all of us to find out whether these people are who they say they are.
Expect a few more in the next few weeks - copycats. Also, there is a great fear many have of losing their 2nd amendment rights under this administration.
***********THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE GET THAT DU LURKERS???*****
Take the economy, a radical president, fear of losing rights, probably income problems and as was reported earlier, mental illness add those up and you have a potential powder keg.
What is really going to give the gun grabbers a “thrill up their legs” is this guy having mental illnesses plus a dishonorably discharged marine.
“What was he doing having guns??”
“Close the (pick your favorite) loophole!!””
It’s going to get very ugly....
OK, the Taliban in Pakistan did claim responsibility for the NY shooting, but only Reuters is taking it seriously.
The guy did change his name slightly, to Wong, a more Chinese sounding name, but I’m pretty sure he did work at IBM.
The man was distraught over losing his job and complaining about being taunted for not being able to speak English, despite having been in the country for 10 years. (He must have been working as a janitor at IBM)
We’re hearing now that the Binghamton shooter worked at a ShopVac assembly plant, and not at IBM. They have no record of his employment there, according to reports.
Not listening to the interview - just expect every gun grabber out there to use this shooting as an excuse to trample on even more 2nd amendment rights.
I’ve long held the belief that legal gun owner mourn the deaths and pray for the injured when a situation like this occurs.
Gun grabbers get a “thrill up their legs” and celebrate the shooting as “another example of why strong gun regulations need to be enacted”.
This is a gun grabbers dream shooting if you will, a gun grabbers trifecta even. A former Marine, mental illness and disabled - they couldn’t wish for better circumstances to force their agenda upon legal gun owners,
Active/Live news events such as this tend to bring out wacko’s. I would not be surprised if these two “friends” barely know the shooter or the family and just want their mugs on television.
It has already started...This incident is only fueling their fire...
I think we be in heap big trouble now...
Oh, this just keeps getting better and better...
What local stations so we can tap into that feed???
