Late yesterday AlJazeera America had the best/most detailed account so far. It was a janitor who first heard the Pearson kid calling out for teacher Murphy. He passed the word and Murphy split for the tall grass according to the sheriff. The school apparently had at least one full time security person but no word on whether he/she was armed but in any case was ineffective. The punk lost his cool and took a random shot at a girl-—serious but not lethal. Not only was the dumbass no good at debate he must have been flunking triggernometry also. His own head was the only target he could acquire.

Here’s my problem: the school knew this kid was nuts and they didn’t do a bleeping thing about it. The whole Denver neighborhood has californians in the water. At least some folks connected to reality are recalling the dunderheads who tried to disarm the whole state.

Liberals will never admit he was one of their own..just like all of the shooters, from the Washington Naval Yard to the Aurora Movie Theater shooter they were ALL liberal..and I wonder, the teacher that the student was after, he supposedly kicked him off the debate team, maybe that teacher is a Republican and that is why the shooter wanted to confront him, because he was the one that kicked him off the debate team for some reason

His parents went to Bible study classes. He probably worshiped more like rastafarians.

He was recently kicked off the debate team because he was a constant disruption with his left wing political fanaticism. That's not how debate team works. They actually had to lock him out of the debate class, but he pounded on the door crying and pleading to be let back in.

I'm sure that he deliberately planned this attack on the last school day before the one year anniversary of the Newtown massacre to reignite the national debate on gun control.

After all, gun rights advocates in Colorado had just recalled two state legislators in special elections and just last week forced the resignation of a third. In his mind, the bastards were winning. He had to do something, so he chose to try to murder his former debate coach in a school shooting, and best of all right on the eve of the anniversary of the Newtown killings.

First they tell us the kid was booted from the debate team and suspended from the school. Then we find out he was NOT booted from the debate team, and NOT suspended from school. Is some kind of false narrative being laid down? Hmmm...


There has been a lot of speculation that Pierson was some kind of leftist, based on his pro-gun control statements and actions:

http://www.krdo.com/news/CO-gunman-liked-debate-but-acted-weird/-/417220/23489324/-/11oqwfr/-/index.html
“He was a weird kid,” (Senior Chris)Davis said. “He’s a self-proclaimed communist, just wears Soviet shirts all the time.”

Though the same link seems to imply he was as much an anti-government patriot:

Junior Daylon Stutz: “He always kind of talked about how America was a communist country, how the government was, like, trying to take us over and stuff.”

Pieerson’s leftist—and anti-government— attitude is even more strange, as he was allegedly hoping to join the elite Air Force Academy once he graduated. Surely he must have known his politics would have counted against him. Or, maybe like Oswald, he was deliberately encouraged to play the part of a dissident to build a ‘legend’ of himself as some kind of malcontent agitator.


As an aside, here’s an example of the strange lessons taught in American schools nowadays:

“...the two shared a human behavior class when Stutz was a freshman and Pierson a sophomore. They worked on a class experiment together in which they went into the community and [b]tried breaking unwritten rules[/b], Stutz said.”

There may have been yet a drill being conducted in the town of LImon, CO, an hour’s drive from Arapahoe, on the same day of the high school shooting:

www.glocktalk.com...
I did look at TAC-ONE’s calendar, like you suggested. Here’s what it says:
Lone Wolf*
When: Friday, Dec 13, 2013
Where: Limon, CO
Lone Wolf
When: Saturday, Dec 14, 2013
Where: Arapahoe Community College, South Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, CO, United States

*Lone Wolf appears to refer to a a single officer response to an active gunman, just like at the high school.

The shooter’s mother was described as working for the Douglas County School District.

Apparently she is a teacher, though she doesn’t teach reading, writing, or ‘rithmetic. She teaches a “Responsible Ethical Citizenship” class, which sounds like typical social engineering.

http://www.lonetreevoice.net/stories/Teacher-empowers-students-by-introducing-issues-of-today,61534
Working with first-graders to sixth-graders, (Barbara)Pierson spends three days a week going to different classrooms. Each class lasts about 40 minutes. The philosophy she uses is SOLE, for respect for self, others, learning and the environment, all of which ties into Douglas County School District’s vision to produce responsible residents.

And it sounds like mommy is high enough up in the pecking order to have received special gub’mint training, including a junket to Wash DC:

http://www.talkleft.com/story/2013/12/14/20111/557/Colo_News/Arapahoe-Shooting-5-Shots-1-Min-20-Secs-Start-to-Finish
Barbara Halverson Pierson has been keeping busy in a whole host of areas. She has two children; Karl in fourth grade and Kristen in second. ... Barbara recently graduated from Leadership Douglas County, a 10-month program that provides training on various aspects of the county. Its scope covers government, education, open space, water (a critical topic for all of Colorado), law enforcement, transportation, economy, etc. to potential community leaders. ... She participated in the Allard Capital Conference in Washington, DC. Hosted by Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) for his constituents and co-sponsored by Denver University and Colorado State University, it is a bi-partisan conference on Capitol Hill with presentations by government leaders and Senate colleagues.

Thanks for the follow up. How close to Arapahoe HS is this “University Area?” Why was one of them carrying a gun? Shame we have no follow-up from the cops. It could have been nothing, or it could have been something....
