WTF? A shot fired and the whole DC-dump goes into the lock-down mode… Meanwhile, in the Windy City, 6 separate murders have been committed TODAY alone, as of 2:26 PM. BTW, only one of’em with a gun. No lockdowns there…

P.S. Why the LOCKDOWN, they already are SHUT DOWN!!! ;-)

The entire Los Angeles area, already hospital facilities have begun to crack under the strain and civil defense authorities think the situation is much the same across the entire country.

Martial law is now nationwide.

Major cities in all parts of the country, New York, Los Angeles, report plague victims falling dead in the streets, in their homes, at their work.  The first symptom appears to be severe choking, followed by immediate unconsciousness.

You did say that. And if they keep it up eventually someone with Tea Party ties will either 1) crack under the pressure, or 2) randomly go crazy and create an actual violent disturbance that can then be pinned on Tea Party politics. It's just a matter of time. Won't even be a "false flag" it will just be exploiting the kind of common human weakness found in every kind of group. And when it happens, that will be the end of the Tea Party in the terrified minds of cowardly middle-class Americans.

Agreed...not even Barney Frank hears his own farts (and he certainly shouldn't trust his farts).

'Shots fired'? How do they know that? Someone heard a bang? What, there are no backfiring trucks in Wash DC? I hear 'possible shots fired' noises around here all the time.

I hear actual shots fired all the time around me.  No, I don't immediately jump under my desk, brandishing my personal defense scissors.  I just happen to live in farm country and the farmers are shooting the varmints.

A Repub Congressman was already threatened by a "protestor."   This shit is starting to get real.   It is all threatas and intimidation by Dems and Obama.

True dat.   They push long enough, hard enough and those old timers might up and forget that they're old.  Then the shit's in the fan, just like after they heard about Malmedy.

Quite of few of the Vietnam vets are right behind them. Every one of them I know would be pretty happy if open revolt broke out.

Secret Service grabbed Pelosi from the floor...did she got shot and go down, or was she sheltering in place.

I hope they aren't making a big deal out of someone getting her from the House chamber. Or if they were getting her, they were pushing her ass outside and saying "Here...here's your target. Aim here."

They must know that cunt is at the top of the list of any self respecting vigilante out hunting political criminals. A decent human being would throw her out the door towards the shots.

Well at least nobody is around to get hit right?  I mean, the government is closed.

Hope them fuckers are getting a bit nervous, cause once the FRN dies, all bets are off.

Maybe they will shut down until Monday ?  Take a few days off.  Maybe some will schedule necessary vacations ?   They might not start back up again until November ?

And of course the NSA intercepted communications between the shooter and tea party leadership... the tea partiers ordered this.. so now Obama must arrest all tea partiers... Just like they did in Greece with the Golden Dawn party.

Total FF event.  Why?  Because... the MFers in power (DoD) have an array of detectors and networked SW, that can do precision triangulation of snipers, in real time.

ZH is the MYTH BUSTERS of the Real World, in close to real-time.
