I do not consider myself a conspiracy theorist type, however, I can not help but think about that not long before this terrible incident in Charleston took place, the general comments I kept hearing from Obama and his people were that their biggest regret up until now was failure to pass wide reaching gun control legislation.

If you study the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, Australia in 1996, one thing that is often mentioned is that Prime Minister John Howard (very anti-gun) discussed his desire six months before the incident to have strict laws nationwide created and passed. One state Justice Minister then said it would take a massacre in Tasmania to get him to support such a thing. Guess what happened shortly thereafter? There are reports that police were diverted from where Martin Bryant committed his bloody rampage due to a phony distress call, that Bryant’s shooting from the hip and directly striking many of his targets in the head would be very atypical of an amateur shooter and that Bryant was a simpleton with a 66IQ, and that peoples’ physical description of who was shooting tended to be inconsistent with Bryant’s actual appearance. I can not help but get this odd feeling about what happened in Charleston, any others with similar thoughts?

“. . . I can not help but get this odd feeling about what happened in Charleston, any others with similar thoughts?

I'm not looking at the article, so my observation does not contain a direct quote, please forgive any error or omission.

The shooter sat in Church with his victims. In light of the two statements he made after his capture:

“I almost didn't go through with it” and “I had to do it”.

I wondered if an unstable young man could have been used; threatened, intimidated, drugged.. to create this crisis?

Seeing events as they unfold now, I am quite sure this is a possibility.
