A drill to make America think it was real to forward 0bama's upcoming second term agenda of gun control. Amazing how just the right thing happened to give 0bama all the 'ammo' he needed to begin his assault on the 2nd Amendment right before he started his second term.

Reminds me of the BP oil rig disaster setting the stage for 0bama's assault on big oil with countless moratoriums.

What timing, huh!

Alrighty, then. School-shooting/oil rig explosion conspiracy, it is.

You have to admit the Sandy Hook shooting timing was.... fortuitous.... for the Obama administration.

Sure raised one of *my* eyebrows.

Fortuitous timing, especially to an Administration that specializes in taking advantage of such things, is not evidence that the crime was a “drill.”

I just read that, coincidentally, Obama was tweeting about the need for more anti-RKBA laws as this was going down.

No, but the occurrence of such an event, SO CLOSE to his reelection, and JUST AFTER he made a major commitment to sweeping gun control was... odd. Curiously coincidental.

Amazingly so.

It's more likely to be Odinga's third term...

See now? If this was my high school, when I was in High School, he wouldn’t be active long.

We carried rifles and shotguns on racks, in trucks and everyone carried at least a Buck Knife.

Cops would show up, take statements and thank whomever was involved in ending that evil.

Haven’t the police reports been hidden to never be shown under some state secrets law - unprecedented. I recall hearing something about that.

Also the bodies of the children were not shown to the parents and then not at the funerals either. Where are the parents of the real kids that can be proven to be gone from the community. Those parents that spoke a few days after the shooting were bizarre. They did not act in a way grieving parents would have nor speak about their apparent lost child in a normal fashion.

From your link ...

"Numerous police are at the school and SWAT was there for a time. Thurmond tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the suspect is a 25-year-old black male and didn’t have an obvious connection to the school.

DeKalb County School Board Chairman Melvin Johnson confirms to CBS News that shots were fired inside the building that houses students from pre-school to fifth grade."

Maybe because of this coming down the pike ... dead kids make it a lot easier to cram it down America's throat:

Obama may have all the rope he needs to hang American gun owners

So, were the kids substituted, or the parents substituted? Or both?

GA FReeper ping.

Hoodat, I am told south across-the-tracks Decatur has gentrified nicely in the last several years, but I haven’t gone cruising around to verify. FWIW
