When truthers go wild
A gunman by the name of John Patrick Bedell, 36, of Hollister, Calif. pulled out a hand gun last night at the Pentagon Metro Station in Virginia last night. Pentagon police returned fire and sent the little coward to the hospital where he died from his injuries. Good!
The Washington Times reveals that Bedell was a 9/11 truther;
Signs emerged that Bedell harbored ill feelings toward the government and the armed forces, and had questioned the circumstances behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
In an Internet posting, a user by the name JPatrickBedell wrote that he was “determined to see that justice is served” in the death of Marine Col. James Sabow, who was found dead in the backyard of his California home in 1991. The death was ruled a suicide but the case has long been the source of theories of a cover up.
The user named JPatrickBedell wrote the Sabow case was “a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions.”
That same posting railed against the government’s enforcement of marijuana laws and included links to the author’s 2006 court case in Orange County, Calif., for cultivating marijuana and resisting a police officer. Court records available online show the date of birth on the case mentioned by the user JPatrickBedell matches that of the John Patrick Bedell suspected in the shooting.
I’d never heard of this James Sabow, so I went looking and found some real nutty shit. Apparently, the story of James Sabow rolls a butt load of conspiracies into one, so the nutters have a single story to which they can point for all of their nutty stories. That “Salem-News” website is the same one that posts all of Gordon Duff’s nutter theories. Oddly enough, this particular article was written merely one day before the shooting at the Pentagon Metro Station.
It seems to me that Bedell probably had help in that he was from California and certainly didn’t bring two 9mm pistols with him on a flight – someone had to give them to him here.
Here’s the latest from this morning’s early press conference at about 6am, local time.
ADDED: OK, it looks like he drove from California to the Pentagon, so maybe he did do it alone;
Chief Richard Keevill said the shooter, identified as John Patrick Bedell of Hollister, Calif., spent the last several weeks driving from the West Coast. Police found his car in a local parking garage. Keevill said authorities found more ammunition in his vehicle.

What might turn out to be strange in this case is Bedell was apparently not active among truthers. (It may be he was yet was active under an assumed name.) The ‘go to’ source on this is http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/ as Pat and James are likely turning over every rock looking for anyone who networked with Bedell.
What’s really sad is yet, again, there are those msm outlets that are attempting to tie him in with the right and tea partiers. What’s really sad is they are doing it with absolutely no evidence, other than their own stupidity bias.
I haven’t seen much on the news about this guy–are they that deluded, lazy, or simply dishonest they would try to tie this guy to the right? I’m guessing Potok will in about 3…2…1…
9/11 truther?
What was his DU name?
Hmmmm. . .
No details on the NPR this morning coming in to work.
Just that he may have uttered “something” before he started shooting. More later when one of the officers he shot will be able to testify.
On Yahoo this morning they are saying he had “Resentment of the U.S. government and suspicions over the 9/11 attacks.”
At this point they’ve linked a person by the same name on internet posts. Not even sure it’s the same person. But the MSM doesn’t need much.
Either way, I am glad none of the security people were seriously hurt, and the bad guy is dead. According to the news he succumbed to a gun shot wound to the head. Someone’s been practicing their shot groups. Way to go.
Does anyone else notice that the folks who keep using violence to get their points across are all, apparently from the LEFT side of the political spectrum?
I work at the Pentagon. This guy is just a death by cop nutcase.
The entrance where he attacked, the guards wear body armor and have full hieght ballistic shields that they stand behind. Oh, and they carry MP-5s. Note that the guards were treated and released from the hospital, so they were just grazed.
The debate in the office right now is whether they shot him 10, 20 or 30 times before the body hit the floor. The MP-5 has a light trigger pull…
Google scubs the shooters webpages.
White House silence.
‘JAG’ dude declares nothing to see here…
When will we hear from the MSM the shooter is a teabagger?
3…2…1…
JAG, have you ever been ‘grazed’ by a bullet?
You need to stop watching NCIS and wacking off.
Man, I was just joking when I thought the MSM was going to paint this guy as a “right-winger”:

Memo to Peter Grier–thanks for failing to achieve even my low expectations.
that CS article is clearly wrong in its right wing assumptions. there are certainly extremists on the left and on the right, although they can’t seem to grasp that.
Its all a plot by the lizard people to take over the world. You just have to read http://www.davidicke.com/ to find out… God I hate conspiracy theorists. To them it is just too scary to think that 19dipshits came up with an evil and ingenous plan that caught us with our pants down. One crazy communist in a book depository could kill the most powerful man in the world. Some guy has some problems he hasn’t told anyone about and decides to off himself. Everything has to be linked to a vast cabal that they are smart enough to figure out.
Attention left/libtards, this is Michael Moore’s (not Bush’s) fault… say it with me, I know you can do it. Have a cookie.
