PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A dead science teacher, weapons of mass destruction, first responders in hazmat suits and the Ohio Army National Guard all near the Municipal Stadium in Portsmouth, Thursday. There's no cause for alarm -- this is just a drill!
The mock disaster training exercise is being done with Scioto County first responders and the Ohio Army National Guard 52nd Civil Support Unit.
"It's the reality of the world we live in," says Portsmouth Police Chief Bill Raisin. "Don't forget there is such a thing as domestic terrorism. This helps us all be prepared."
The make-believe scenario is timely. Two school employees who are disgruntled over the government's interpretation of the Second Amendment, plot to use chemical, biological and radiological agents against members of the local community.
Portsmouth is a “hole”, run down city, meth problems throughout the county (Scioto). Actually lived there for a few years while attending SSU.
The Piketon Atomic Plant (Uranium enrichment) is up the road about 20 miles or so so I can see playing out a terrorist attack with that in mind (NBC survival) but don’t see their justification in labeling it as they did outside of it being “the nature of law enforcement” in the area and education levels.
Again, I come from the area (another hole in the wall 25 miles up river) and I personally just pass this off as “idiots” where most have no idea that there is a big world out there.
And yet liberals are supposedly these globally aware know it alls.
NBC now reports: only handguns used at Sandy Hook school shooting [4 handguns used; not 2.]
Ask the Jews who survived the Holocaust what this preliminary scapegoating portends.
As a matter of fact, Jews are among the targets. The former counterterrorism center at West Point has been taken over by the pro-Shariaists, and is now targeting "right wing" Americans instead.
I am trying to get all over it. I’ve been on some local radio shows, trying to get audio demos together to get on national shows. Also been writing stuff like “Dear Mr. Security Agent,” etc. I’m trying as hard as I can. The problem is, the process is usually well under way before the scapegoats realize the mortal danger.
Think of Jews in Berlin in 1928 to 1934. Few could believe the danger from the rampant anti-Jewish propaganda of the times.
I’m doing all that I can, I am making photomemes, posting it on Twitter and FB, shoot, I don’t know what else to do!
It can also be an internet SNA (social network analysis) probe, to watch the transmission of the news about this deliberate provocation.
IOW, for making enemies lists for future arrests.
Nope. I don’t accept that. If “don’t step on toes” is the rational, they have 100+ years of the standard excercise protocal, naming the villains the “Orangeland Liberation Front” or such.
Naming white men, tea party, 2nd Amd supporters etc as teh enemy in West Point papers, War College journals, etc is TOTALLY NEW, and dangerous.
A hard rain is going to fall.
“You wanna live forever?”
A coward dies a thousand deaths.
THANKS FOR POSTING THE TRUTH
You are doing all that a motivated and determined man can do.
Many of us in our small way try to help by posting your articles here and there.
I wonder if any of the standard talk show people (Levin, Rush, anyone?) are even mentioning this. I started listening to Rush in the late 80’s when he was local in Sacramento. He was much different then; I haven’t listened to him in years. Boring and never anything really hard hitting, when I stopped listening years ago.
I wish there were some (one!) real firey Constitutionalist radio talk show person.
Hmm - how’s your speaking voice?
(Seriously!)
Sergeant Major Daly's precise quotation is Daly is said to have been "Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?" to the men in his company prior to charging the Germans during the Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I; Daly claimed he said, "For Christ's sake men—come on! Do you want to live forever?"
By way of motivational mottoes, I prefer my old outfit's, both official and unofficial: Where my horse has trod, grass will never again grow.

That was always a lot of fun for tankers.

Not sure I appreciate the insinuation that two disgruntled school employees, who happen to be upset about the governments plans to infringe upon their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is sufficient cause to take their agression out on fellow employees and students at the place where they work...
The whole premise is flawed, why not utilize history as a template for drills such as this and stop trying to steer the informationally challenged people in this country to assume that ANYONE who owns guns is a potentiual mass murderer!!!
This is the kind of thing that encourages those of lesser intelligence and mental capacity to seek their 15 minutes of fame in this manner...
Obviously we’ll never convince the media at large to give gunowners a fair shake in any of this, but it is worth noting that once again, the media will never be a friend of law-abiding citizens, ever...Its not newsworthy enough, or need to be balanced, to them...
Ahhhhhh, yes, the other side of the pendulum swing..hehehe
The reason is that we are the ones that are most likely to resist and do so with a credible and identifiable means...
We are a much more credible threat to the establishment than the following...
EBT’ers and OWS’ers are just useful idiots to muddy the waters when the actual crackdown (on people like us) begins...
I did a follow up & went to the store a day later. I have a pretty good handle on our community through contact with law enforcement, medical community, and education community and farmers. Every community has its bad actors & dopers, & grumpy old alcoholics. We all pass by them daily not noticing them, for the most part, because they are under a veneer of civility brought on by the community in general.
The “Grand Opening” brought a lot of them out and concentrated them at one spot and they performed as expected.
In a SHTF situation, they will show up again:)
well, at least now you know who they all are... take care
Of course these training propaganda indoctrination plots never include the liberals that are the actual nutcase gunmen.
