And while all this was going on, thousands of scantily clad women and
a few men walked down Alameda Blvd. and Broadway St. in the
Chinatown area north of Union Station,
Los Angeles, toward a large
field across the street from St. Peter's Catholic Church (the Italian
national 'mecca' of LA outside of San Pedro).  But I can't find any news
coverage about it.  It wasn't the LA Marathon, either, only because they
were WALKING, not running  --  but seriously, they were much less
decently attired than the Marathon runners are wont to be.  This was
on All Souls' Day, 2013, November 2nd, in the afternoon about 4-5 pm.

    Actually, the shooting was Friday morning, Nov. 1st, and the bizarre
    migration of pagan strippers on the other end of town, was on Saturday,
    Nov. 2nd in the afternoon.

    I should have put this in the post above this but the ink dried.

    I found several "Walks" going on in LA yesterday but none of them
    were in the area where I'm talking about.  One at Warner Center,
    in Woodland Hills, one near Griffith Park (about 5 miles north of
    the walk I'm referring to), and one in Santa Monica near the Pier.

    These 3 locations describe an equilateral triangle with legs 15 miles long
    on the map of Los Angeles, and the leg from Warner Center to Santa
    Monica crosses over the Santa Monica mountains west of the J. Paul
    Getty Museum center and 405 freeway by about 5 miles.  IOW they
    are far enough apart to be in 3 separate cities most places in the world,
    but in LA, it's all populated (except in the mountains, of course).

    These events took place the day after the shooting at LAX, and they
    had all been coordinated for months in advance of Saturday.

    This has nothing to do with the shooting, but it's a little surreal that
    they both happened so close together.

    It seems they are keeping information regarding how this gunman
    could have carried a .223 rifle into the terminal area of the airport.  

    Like all major and international airports in the USA, the TSA workmen
    are all over the place, and they have barricades set up to keep people
    from walking from one area to another.  To get from the main lobby
    area inside the doors from the street, all passengers for flights have
    to pass through a screening process that included metal detectors
    and x-ray of carry-on baggage.  There is no way this guy could have
    gone through that with a .223 rifle in a "bag."  

    Everyone who is not a passenger on a flight, such as family members
    or friends of passengers, is absolutely forbidden to walk with the
    passenger(s) through the screening area.

    Therefore, he must have somehow gone around that screening
    process.  But to do so, he would have had to have been a TSA
    employee, one would think.  The reports say he was not one, nor
    are they saying that he had somehow impersonated a TSA employee.

    Everywhere you go the TSA are staring at you, and they are hyper-
    sensitive to anyone doing anything out of the ordinary.  The TSA
    people are notoriously unfriendly.  "Not nice" is an understatement.
    I can only imagine how they would have literally crowded around
    a man like this if he had tried to sneak around a barricade or go
    under some cordoned-off area, different from the other passengers.  

    By the looks of this story, we might not be told the real method
    that he used to penetrate the security system.  Just a hunch.

  • Some reports say he is a TSA or he had on their shirt which would have allowed him  to move more freely around.
    He didn't get in the line for the flights.  He came in & ran up the stairs to the next level where the TSA's stand at the final checkpoint.  It all happened very quickly.

    The 'bag' was a garment bag.

    There must be some people wondering if they sat next to the
    shooter on the Shuttle Bus to Lot C.

    "Remember, Stacy, that guy that sat next to us on the Lot C
    bus, was holding a garment bag?!? Too bad we didn't take his
    picture with our cell phones."

  • Neil, where does it say that he took a shuttle bus?!!

    It says that he 'was dropped off at the airport'.   Meaning that his friend dropped him off at the terminal.

    Sorry, I was just thinking of how I go to LAX sometimes.  If I had
    been there that day I would have been thinking that (shuttle bus).  

    Anyway, I've heard 3 reports that say the "bag" was not a garment bag
    but a DUFFEL bag:

     

    The .223 cal. rifle is a partially KD version and it's quickly re-assembled.
    He carried it into the terminal area in the duffel bag, then pulled it out
    and stuck the parts together, then started shooting.

    And all 3 reports said he was "dropped off" by his room mate at the curb
    and walked in alone into the terminal area.  His room mate said he had
    had no advance request for the ride, nor did he know where the guy
    (the shooter) was planning to fly to.  It sounds like they had terrible
    communication skills!!  

    When you go from the drop-off curb to the DEPARTURES area, you can
    either go to check-in and check luggage and get a boarding pass, or you
    can go directly to the queue to be screened, which goes up an escalator.
    There are TSA agents below and above the escalator.  You can also go
    into an elevator or a stairway, but at the second floor you are not allowed
    to go to the terminal area because there are barricades set up and
    scowling TSA people all around there.  If you are handicapped, though,
    you can bypass the escalator.  For that you generally need a wheelchair
    or be using a CANE.  I'm thinking maybe this guy had a cane, but they're
    not saying that to prevent putting out the idea.  He could have just
    dropped the cane before he started his shooting spree.  

    But even when handicapped, you're not allowed to bypass the screening
    area unless you're a TSA worker.   I'm not seeing any reports that say
    he had a TSA shirt or jacket or whatever.

    TSA are the antithesis of customer service.

  • The columbine shooters were Jєωιѕн.   The Arizona shooter was Jєωιѕн.  And yet the media keeps that hush hush.

  • I was not aware of that.

    Were they Jєωιѕн?  Or did they simply have some remote connection to Jєωs or some Jєωιѕн ancestry?

    I thought one family was Lutheran (of the pair of Columbine shooters).

    Which Arizona shooter are you talking about?

    I think you are wrong about this.

    Dylan Klebold was raised a Lutheran, and received the Lutheran "sacrament" of confirmation.  I don't know about Eric hαɾɾιs.

    Jared Lee Loughner has variously been described as "anti-Semitic" and "anti-religion" in general.  On his U.S. Army application, he refused to state a religion.

    I supposed it is possible that they had some Jєωιѕн relatives or ancestors, but that would not necessarily make them "Jєωιѕн."

  • According to the Orange County Register, "Federal agents are investigating possible ties between Ciancia and a widely circulated theory that the U. S. is preparing to establish a totalitarian state."

    I guess those of us who are not mind-controlled zombies are being warned: Do not read the back of a dollar bill. Do not listen to quotes from Bush talking about the NWO. Do not research anything which is not being "reported" in the government media. Go back to sleep. Go back to sleep.

  • Well, as it turns out it was neither a garment bag nor a duffel bag but a backpack on top of those suitcases on wheels that had a hole on the bottom of the backpack & the top of the suitcase to hide the gun.

    Neil, do you really think that he took an unassembled gun into the terminal (or even just outside the door) & assembled it in front of hundreds of people before starting to shoot??!!   How could you possibly believe such a scenario?
