Man shot at Offutt AFB after police chase
The Omaha World-Herald ^ | 04 June 2012 | By Roseann Moring

Posted on 06/04/2012 5:13:14 PM PDT by US Navy Vet

A man is in extremely critical condition after he led sheriff's deputies on a chase through Offutt Air Force and was shot by authorities.

Sarpy County Sheriff Jeff Davis said he believes an Offutt civilian officer shot the man as he was attempting to leave the base.

The identity of the man, who was taken by helicopter to Creighton University Medicval Center, was unknown, as was the name of the officer who shot him, Davis said.

Davis said deputies tried to pull over the man's blue Honda sedan on Highway 73-75 about 3:15 p.m. because they believed the car was stolen.

The driver sped away. Deputies pursued him to Offutt, where he drove in through the exit at Capehart Road and onto the base, Davis said.

The man tried to leave through the Fort Crook entrance, where he was shot, Davis said.

Davis wasn't sure how long the chase lasted or how fast the man was going.

You'd think a newspaper person in Omaha would know it's Offutt Air Force Base.

Chalk another one up to "modern journalism".

He can blame it on writing too quickly.

You would think that, Navy Vet, but I recently saw an official poster at Hanscom Air Force Base (Yeah, I know it's part of Air Force Materiel Command which makes it difficult to count as part of the real Air Force.) that misspelled Offutt as “Offut”. When I pointed this error out to the lieutenant colonel who had approved the poster, you would have thought I has pissed into his coffee.

I concluded that the lieutenant colonel has an IQ somewhere around the temperature last week. (I was warm here, but not enough to get his IQ out of the imbecile range.)

One would think that a base that has been named after a World War I hero who lost his life in France for almost 100 years and which is the headquarters of US Strategic Command would be spelled correctly today as all it would take would be wondering about the little squiggly line underneath the misspelling. But as I noted above having an IQ of 80 makes one unlikely to even notice that line.

I am curious about something. You work at the place that was at front and center for the Franklin Cover Up.

Is the opinion of those there now that the whole thing was a hoax?

Given the media blackout on the Franklin Cover Up I am not surprised that most haven’t heard of it.

A little surprised that you haven’t heard of it.

You might actually look into rather than make a ridiculous post “are you off your meds”

Weird posts Rummy Chick, imo.

Maybe next time you can ask these off thread topic question in private messaging.

Btw, I don’t know what you were talking about, either.

Sounds like he was just trying to get Offutt.

When I was in the force many a time I flushed twice as it was a long way there.

SNIPPET: “But some of them were not so new. Authorities say Johnson has been involved in criminal activity for years and records show he was due in court in July for stealing another car in February. “He is a suspect in three other thefts in the Lincoln area and he does have quite an extensive record including thefts and sexual assault,” said Sarpy County Sheriff Jeff Davis.”

Underage sex ring run out of the airforce base as part of a CIA Manchurian project. Doesn’t ring a bell??? Because there was a media blackout on it.

Oh, and it is a Republican scandal.

btw, Cindy, what CIA Ex Directory Colby said about the Franklin Cover up:

““What you have to understand, John, is that sometimes there are forces and events too big, too powerful, with so much at stake for other people or institutions, that you cannot do anything about them, no matter how evil or wrong they are and no matter how dedicated or sincere you are or how much evidence you have.””

still holds true today. Plenty of people were killed over Franklin scandal..including possibly Colby....and there are the same kind of warnings over Obama.

Never heard of the Franklin Cover Up??? A Republican Scandal??? A blackout from the Media when they are usually all over the Republicans??????

That alone should make you go..hmmmmmm......

If you go to the WHI, you will see the same kind of warnings over investigating Obama as Colby gave his friend about the Franklin Coverup.
