There was a shooting just outside the Pentagon today, at a security checkpoint. Two cops were injured; breaking reports say the suspect, J. Patrick Bedell, has died.
The suspect, believed to be a U.S. citizen, walked up to a security checkpoint at the Pentagon in an apparent attempt to get inside the massively fortified Defense Department headquarters, at about 6:40 p.m. local time. “He just reached in his pocket, pulled out a gun and started shooting” at point-blank range, Keevill said. “He walked up very cool. He had no real emotion on his face.” The Pentagon officers returned fire with semiautomatic weapons.
And Internet research shows that the guy was a 9/11 Truther and an anti-Bush nut case.
Via Charles Johnson comes this link to some crazy ranting from the guy. It was recorded in November 2006 — when Bush was president, to belabor the obvious. I transcribed this part, in which he is speaking of criminal organizations working within the U.S. Government:
This criminal organization would use its powers to convert military, intelligence, and law enforcement bureaucracies into instruments for political control, and the domination and subjection of society, while discrediting, destroying, and murdering honest individuals within those services, that work to root out corruption, and faithfully serve their fellow citizens. This organization, like so many murderous governments throughout history, would see the sacrifice of thousands of its citizens in an event such as the September 11 attacks, as a small cost in order to perpetuate its barbaric control. This collection of gangsters would find it in their interest to foment conflict and initiate wars throughout the world, in order to divert attention from their misconduct and criminality. The true nature of such a regime would find its clearest expression in the satanic violence currently ongoing in Iraq.

How many of these stories do we need to show you were 180° WRONG!
Don’t worry he’ll be made into an ‘anti-government’ nutcase with the strong implication that he was a tea partier, etc.
No amount of such stories will suffice.
If the data does not fit the template it must be disposed of.
I guess this is about all we’ll hear about this.
BDS is a progressive ailment.
We could use a website or blog devoted to deranged leftoids who commit violence.
I guess the morons at the Southern Poverty Law Center have already gone home for the weekend.
Left wing extremism.....Southern Poverty Center Ping! anyone? Watch and see if the SPC reports on the growing left wing violence .... =.=
His Wikipedia profile suggests he’s a capital-L Libertarian (email address at mises.com, pot aficionado). I guarantee you that the SRM will spin it that this guy is a Tea Partier.
stupid is, as stupid does.
MSM and Obama: “Thank god he wasn’t named Mohamed or Ibrahim. Now we can attack him as a crazy from the right”!
I wonder what his FR name is? We do have a few of those around here. ;-)
One of the books on the shooters page is by Russ Baker who has been interviewed on Alex Jones and Lew rockwell programs.
Two of the major supporters of Ron Paul
No surprise there.
The lefties are going to start unraveling more often now, like cornered rats!
Interesting connections ping.
Probably a Paul supporter. Every one of them I know of could be described exactly like this.
So where are you safest, Va Tech or the Pentagon?
Just Joe Stack #2. He hated Bush with a passion and the SRM tried to tie him to the TEA party because he owed taxes. I’d bet that the media tries to tie this shooter to the TEA party within a few days.
