Arutz Sheva ^ | 29/4/19 | Gary Willig

The FBI revealed on Monday that it had received a warning about the Poway synagogue shooter five minutes before he carried out a deadly shooting attack.

On Saturday, during morning services, John T. Earnest opened fire on worshippers at the Chabad of Poway, killing one and wounding three, including the synagogue's rabbi and an eight-year-old girl.

The FBI had received a warning about Earnest minutes before the attack, but did not have enough time to locate the suspect.

Try this. Pick up the phone and call the local police. Not sexy enough? No high profile bust? Oh, well. Never mind./s

At first it was multiple tips from multiple people several hours before the event... now it was 5 minutes before to make it seem like they aren’t complete retards.

They may not have had a specific target either... which makes it tough.

My question is why the FBI can only imagine coming into a specific target like gangbusters and stopping the perp in mid shooting rampage. There are local police. There are a limited number of synagogues at which a putative rampager can go to find his putative rampagees. If they had just issued an alert to the local police as soon as they are warned, the local cops could have handled it. But instead they’re saying that “we didn’t have enough time to find Earnest”. Don’t find him. Warn cops around his targets, and have them look for a nut with a gun. Car 54, where were you?

It’s that “stove pipe” thing again.

The therapist that spun the guy up for the shooting is a CIA employee.

It takes time for comms to go from the Clowns In America to the Feeble Bumbling Idiots.

This is all orchestrated. Right away they called one dead and three wounded a "massacre" but Waco that absolutely was a methodical, deliberate, FBI run massacre or Ruby Ridge where the casualty count was similar?

Pfft. Just called those errors.

Every democrat fascist starts reading from their gun control script and, bingo, a lone gunman incident takes place.

The FBI knew five minutes in advance and wasn’t smart enough to call 911 and get law enforcement on the way.

Despite today’s hit TV shows and films, the FBI is a show up an hour or 90 minutes later kind of “law enforcement”.

Only on TV. FBI does not ever respond to things in real time. Never. Dirty little secret, most FBI agents go their entire career and never arrest a single person in the process of doing something.

Most never use their cuffs after FLETC

When my car was stolen, the police told me it was “just” a joy ride, and refused to examine the forensic evidence - including names, handwriting, and fingerprints - left behind by the perps.

My life was severely disrupted for months. The cops could not have cared less.

That was just one incident where cops treated me like I was nothing.

I am a lifelong conservative, and an ordained minister, and I neither trust nor vaunt the police.

Well, the story was this loon posted his scheme on 8chan less than an hour before the shooting

He was imitating the NZ shooter

Stands to reason someone on the forum would alert the FBI

When I get upset at police it is when they stand down as Antifa or BLM thrashes people. Apparently that means they were ordered by certain types of mayors police chiefs to stand down. ((The types I meant are trained accordion players in Polka bands and people who are able to explain superstring theory to non-specialists in physics)).

There is a scene in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971 film) in which some stern looking soldiers on horseback confront the unarmed farmer peasants during the runup to overthrow of the government. One draws a sword and you fear a bloody slaughter. But he takes the sword and slashes a grain bag allowing the contents to spill out, showing that the soldiers will allow them to stave off starvation and will allow them to survive between the two violent forces using them as pawns.

I always remember that when I repeat the 1960s question: Whose side are you on?

We will not make it through in the coming unrest unless the police and military side with us.

The socialist-communist Soros forces like Antifa and worse cannot be allowed to roam free while our side gets beaten, arrested and have guns confiscated.

We are Minutemen fighting for the continuing freedom of our representative Republic. Law enforcement had better be on our side or it's over.

As a fearless keyboard warrior sitting at a laptop I am courageously making that statement. /s

” Pick up the phone and call the local police. “

They may have done so. Even if they did they could not have located the suspect in 5 minutes. They also did not know specifically where he would attack.

The article says “Shortly before the attack was carried out Earnest posted an anti-Semitic manifesto on the 8-Chan board, an online community notorious for hosting extremists. In his manifesto Earnest accused the Jewish people of seeking to destroy the European race, accused President Trump of being controlled by Jews, and vowed to post a live-stream on Facebook of an attack on a Jewish target. “

When every second is a matter of life or death, the police are only minutes away.

The FBI should have called the synagogue and warned them to lock their doors and to be prepared.

When I was 10 years old my bike was stolen from the bike rack outside a public pool. It was locked with a chain but the chain was cut. I walked through the park adjacent to the pool on my way home and found a police officer. He was a fat slob actually eating a donut when I came across him. I told him what happened and he said “this the season” and walked away. I learned all I needed to know about the police that day..

As I said about leftard conspiracy theorists, all conspiracy theorists of what ever stripe invert Groucho’s song. Whatever they’re against, that is it.

I dislike the FBI’s handling of this situation, and probably the police would have flubbed it badly even if the FBI had called them. But there is a principle called Occam’s razor, that all phenomena must be explained by the simplest theory available. It could be that this is all a conspiracy, orchestrated by the deep state to change the subject, or whatever. But a simpler explanation is available, which is that law enforcement often does stupid stuff in a life-and-death situation and people often die as a result. I.e., Officer Tooty is now a fed. That is the explanation we must presume to be true until there is some proof of a conspiracy.

The alternative, pushing a narrative and then cherry-picking the facts that support the narrative, is what has made leftards so f#^$ed in the head to date. Let’s not go there.
