But was it necessary?

Wednesday morning a female St. Paul College student was in an elevator with a man who was talking into his Bluetooth device about his personal finances when she saw him “reach into a ledge covering the elevator lights and pulled out a handgun.” He then exited the elevator and walked down a hallway, reports St. Paul police spokesman Sgt. Paul Schnell to the Minneapolis StarTribune describing the account of the girl in the elevator. The girl then reported the gun sighting to school security staff, which led to the school lockdown and evacuation by over 60 police officers & SWAT team members.

Interviews with faculty & staff suggest that while the building was in lockdown, the mood was calm. The report of a gun did not have the campus is a state of panic, but as Christopher Swanson, a student and former Airborne Ranger in the Army said, "Some of the Somali women were a little freaked out when the SWAT team showed up with guns", "Men in uniform with guns don't make them feel real comfortable."

The StarTribune would have you believe that the problem lies with the fact that “properly permitted visitors” can carry a gun onto the unarmed campus. Like most main stream media reporting, they would also like you to think that military style SWAT responses to every sighting of a gun is the only logical & safe solution to keep people safe. They even justify the extensive police response by noting that the legislative intent of carry laws was not to “allow people to wave a gun around.”

Obviously there’s a high probability that the mysterious gun toting, Bluetooth talking assailant did act irresponsibly, however to say that “a gun in hand = intent to use a gun” as one commenter on the StarTribune site wrote, is absolutely false. Furthermore, to do so is in NO violation of the law. While highly advised against, an unconcealed weapon is not illegal. Also, they are assuming that there was in fact a gun. For all we know the guy had some toy, or electronic device and the entire incident is nothing more than a false alarm.

The vast majority of Americans know, agree, and advocate that if we simply allowed armed students & faculty , the mass school shootings would be eradicated, and the need for ridiculous police state takeovers would be zero. By having a society with a mentality that is fear driven, we essentially give a ‘green light’ to ‘yelling FIRE’ in crowded buildings. For what? Fear of Death? Fear of terrorism? Fear of Anti-Government speech? Fear of Domestic Terrorism?

There is no doubt that many people who are in a dazed trans, suffering from mal-nutrition, 'doped up' on pharmaceuticals and brainwashed by the constant propaganda, lies, disinformation, and lack of information, are easily becoming acclimated to the tyrannical police state.

The rest of America however, awake and informed, understand the undeniable lessons of history that dependence on a militarized police state leaves us far more vulnerable. They understand that the Patriot Act, I & II put a match to Constitution & Bill of Rights. They see how the ‘War on Terror’ is really after You, the American people. They see Homeland security openly announcing war in the domestic front. You are on the Battle Field now.

While you will not hear about it from CNN, Fox, or the StarTribune, Many People would not be surprised if tomorrow we learn that this entire incident was staged. Many are noticing the convenient timing of this recent school scare, and the treasonous violations of Posse Comitatus taking place around this country. And let’s not forget about all the propaganda demonizing “Right wing extremists”, or Anti-government perps. Then there are the countless examples of staged provocateuring (here, here, here, & here) giving a pretext for the troops to descend upon the protesters at events like the G20. Does this ‘scare’ not coincide with the staged domestic terror bomb plots in Dallas & Illinois? Do you notice concerning all these supposed terror plots, it comes out every time that the Feds were the ring-leaders behind the culprits, and every time the story is then used by the media to hype fear of Iran?

True Patriots question their government. Dissidence is the highest form of Patriotism
