Any more, as farfetched as it seems, I wouldn't doubt that they had the entire event planned. They were so fast to react to the shooting that they almost seemed to pre-act. As if the whole thing was orchestrated.
I wouldn`t be surprised if the guy they`re looking for, in connection to this, was a leftist operative. Funded by some leftist shadow group, he could have groomed him for this operation expecting a “death by cop” outcome to silence the only witness. Question is, will this guy get the Lee Harvey Oswald treatment and how many other “useful idiots” do they have waiting?
The perfect coordination between politicians and the press in their standardized responses is very creepy. I think this is how the 'Journo-list' thing was supposed to work. Generic, universal group-think, instantly adaptable to any situation. The first 'answer', no matter how foolish, is the one that sticks in the public's mind.
