Links between Ft. Hood and MH 370

The Ft. Hood shootings is like MH 370.  No one knows what caused either tragedy.

For all of our science and spying, it turns out that we do not actually know where MH 370 flew to.  Billbo O’Really took a victory lap when the Malaysian government declared that the flight went down in the south Indian Ocean.  Based on that information I suppose Billbo writes a check every time he gets an e-mail declaring Prince Swindle needs his help restoring Swindle to the thrown of Lower Eastern Slobovia (LES).  If you would just send $1,000, Swindle will return your “investment” 10 fold when he is returned to his rightful place in LES.  Or the one that informs him he’s just won one million dollars.  Contest rules stipulate that the winner must pay all the legal and administrative fees for transferring the money.  So just send in $1,000 and receive your million dollar check in the mail.

Billbo, why would you believe the Malaysian government?  I don’t necessarily buy their line.   Given the geography, it’s likely that the plane went down in the Indian Ocean.  But for me the Malaysian’s saying that it did, makes me doubt that scenario.  New conspiracy theory:  The plane lands in Pakistan.  Malaysians declare the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean.  The Pakis now have the perfect ruse for the plane’s disappearance.  The Pakis take parts off the plane and dumped them into the Indian Ocean creating the much sought after “debris field”.  The salted parts are discovered.  Case closed.  The debris field not being discovered until after the batteries on the black box are due to expire is a conspiracy theory nut’s dream scenario.  No black box in a salted debris field or a real one keeps the story alive for decades. 

I’d say that until proof is provided, governments and people ought not “declare” anything.  It is probably best to use the preface, “we believe that…” until proof can be provided.

The case of Ivan Lopez is pretty much the same.  Barring the discovery of a suicide note (the black box equivalent in these cases), any conspiracy theory that comes up is as good as any other.   So instead of concentrating on the real but unsolvable problem of why Lopez did what he did, Dopes concentrate the instrument used in the crime.  Dopes start beating the ban all guns drum before the bleeding of the last casualty has stopped.

They are not serious.  If they were, they’d be calling for a ban on transoceanic flights.  Lopez killed four people including himself.  MH 370 went somewhere with 239 souls on board.  Sadly suicide by airplane is not all that uncommon an experience.  Since an Egyptian pilot decided to kill himself and everyone on board Egypt Air flt 990, airplane suicide is probably only a bit less rare but a heck of a lot more spectacular than the occasional Ft. Hood or Sandyhook.   Yet there is no serious talk of banning passenger flights.

I’d also make this point, it’s a heck of lot easier to screen pilots and passengers than it is to screen gun owners.  Yet planes and the passengers aboard keep disappearing.  When will Chuck Schumer propose legislation to end the carnage?

Hold King SFB et al to the same standard as GM
The ruling class had field day heaping scorn on the new CEO of general Motors for that company’s failure to correct a problem with the ignition on some GM models.  Fine.  13 people were killed because GM apparently decided it was cheaper to pay the inevitable law suits than deal with a recall.  That’s criminal.  Someone should go to jail for that negligence.

The same is true for the legion of government azzwipes involved in the myriad scandal in this administration.   Has anyone been held accountable for Fast and Furious?  No.  That negligence resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds if not thousands of Mexican citizens.

Has anyone been held responsible for Benghazi?  No.  Four dead Americans and a ransacked consulate, yet not one person in the State Department, Defense Department or anywhere else in government has been given so much a slap on the wrist.

King SFB said the IRS scandal was “outrageous” until he realized it could be traced right to his campaign’s door, then it became a phony scandal.  No one has been punished.

NSA spying is/was nothing because the collected data wasn’t being used to target Americans.  Lex’s conspiracy theory # XX knows full well that it was used to turn Chief Justice Roberts' opinion on the ACA.  Robert’s logic in that case has more inexplicable twist than pallet load of Twizzlers.

Has anyone been let go over the DoJ harassment of journalist who do not toe the SFB line?  No.

So yeah, give GM hell.  They deserve it.  But so do a litany of government F-ups.  Starting with Eric the wad Holder and running through the Shrilldabeast, Jimmy the lying Lip Clapper, and his deputy liar Morrell.  The ruling class will not turn on any of their own.  That's why they all need to go.

From the Griffin....
Profiling of a shooter/murderer includes the vast majority being young men 18-28 years old. So now let's focus on where they congregate. College? Yes. The military? Yes. Professional sports? Yes. Poor areas at night doing drug deals? Yes. Late night clubs/bars? Yes. Cheerleading competitions? No. AARP meetings? No. Expensive restaurants? No. As a fishermen one thing I know is that 90% of the fish live in 10% of the water. I saw plenty of fist fights in the service. Have yet to see one in church. Guess where you should have access to some type of legal weapon?
