Alright. This is about the Batman guy.
Denver's police force has been asking for something like $3,000,000 in funding every year. And every year they get told "NO!" and receive something like $300,000 instead.
This year they REALLY thought they were going to get it, due to Occupy. But again the Colorado government told them "No" and gave them not much more than usual.
According to some stuff I've read, the shooter:
Was unemployed
Had weapons that together were valued at around $20,000 not including ammunition
Spread his purchases out over only 3 MONTHS (even Bin Laden planned for years and years, on the other side of the planet, and we knew it was going to happen)
Now...
Say YOU were the chief of police, or some other high ranking PD official.
Here's what you've recently gone through:
Weed has been legalized in your state, so you can't fuck with stoners
DUI testing for weed was denied, so you can't fuck with stoners
You have Freemasons all over the place, and probably are one yourself, so you KNOW they can give you more money
Occupy came and you couldn't do shit about it at first, then once it was over, you are bored
Occupy season (not cold weather) is coming back, and you really don't want that to happen again
How do you make everyone afraid of the "fringe cultures", while also getting more funding???
How?
How?
The same way the FBI caught that "terrorist" in Dallas trying to blow up that building.
(By telling the kid you're Al Quida and giving him everything he needs to do it)
MAYBE Denver is full of only amazingly wonderful, outstandingly integral police.
But I doubt it.
And especially in the city. People will claw their way to the top, making the top a crazy bunch of clawed maniacs.
