4/5 "Friends have said Poplawski was concerned about his weapons being
seized during Barack Obama's presidency, and friends said he owned
several handguns and an AK-47 assault rifle"
Expect to see more of this from gun nuts.

\_ Well, he was also a Neo-Nazi nut.
\_ Isn't Poplawski a RUSSIAN/POLISH name, the race that the Nazi
was trying to eradicate? It doesn't make any sense.
\_ no one said he was a BRILLIANT Nazi !
\_ I hate Vietnamese Nazis

She is now on paid administrative leave and is receiving counseling because supervisors are concerned about her well-being. The three officers killed Saturday morning will lie in state at the City-County Building on Wednesday, and all three will be honored at a memorial service Thursday. Richard Poplawski, 22, is under close observation at the Allegheny County Jail on criminal homicide, attempted homicide and other charges, said Warden Ramon Rustin. Robert Full, Allegheny County Chief of Emergency Services, said the 911 operator is too distraught to be interviewed, so officials don't fully understand why she didn't press for more information about the guns. She apparently inferred the weapons weren't a factor because her conversation with the mother was casual and because Poplawski didn't report being threatened, he said. He said she had shown "tremendous aptitude," but made a "definite error" in her handling of Saturday's call. "If we were told there were weapons in the house, we should have told that to the police officers," Full said. When officers arrived at the house, Margaret Poplawski opened the door for them. She later told police that she didn't know that her 22-year-old son was standing behind her with a gun. Police say Richard Poplawski shot officer Paul Sciullo II, 37, in the home and officer Stephen Mayhle, 29, on the front stoop within seconds. He then shot officer Eric Kelly, 41, in the street as he arrived to back them up, prompting a four-hour siege and gun battle with police, authorities said. Poplawski was wearing a bulletproof vest and was armed with a variety of weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle, although police have declined to say what kind of weapon he used to kill the officers. He is also charged with firing into two neighboring homes, injuring nobody, and at nine other police officers, including one who was wounded as he tended to Kelly. An expert on 911 procedures told The Associated Press that dispatchers generally should relay as much unfiltered information to police as possible. "Never send a response unit to any dangerous or potentially dangerous situation without some advisory about weapons," said Bob Smith, director of strategic development for the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International, based in Daytona Beach, Fla. Smith wouldn't comment specifically on the Pittsburgh shooting, but he said dispatchers should try to find out if weapons are present, if they are being used, what type they are and where they are located. According to the two-minute recording of Saturday morning's call played for a reporter, Margaret Poplawski sounded impatient as she asked for police to come take her son out of the house. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette first reported details of the call. Without answering, Margaret Poplawski mother said, "Look, I'm just waking up from a sleep. In another recording played for a reporter, a dispatcher used the information from the 911 operator to put out a call to patrolmen. The dispatcher informed Sciullo and Mayhle that it's a "mother-son domestic." An officer asked for the house number and informed the dispatcher, "Copy. Full said the call-taker is a part-time employee who received the standard 320 hours of training, covering everything from how to take a call to providing first aid instruction. County council's Public Safety committee plans to meet next week to review 911 policies to "have a better understanding of how and why this happened," Councilman Jim Burn said Tuesday. Thursday's memorial service will be held at the Petersen Events Center at the University of Pittsburgh. The 12,000-seat basketball arena was chosen because authorities expect police and other dignitaries from around the country to attend. City Councilman Jim Motznik on Monday said he and his fellow officials were at a loss to say anything meaningful to the slain officers' families. We offer our services any way we can to assist the families," he said. "But the one thing that they want is their loved ones back, is something that we can't provide."

When more people get killed by crazed gun-rights supporters, they will also scream about their precious 2nd amendment rights. Guido the Loving OBGYN Says: All the old-timer Republicans I work with are terrified. Terrified of communism, terrified Obama will abandon Israel, terrified Obama will take their guns. Obama needs to go on teevee and address this now before more paranoid Republicans go on killing rampages. muzz Says: I keep getting this really bad feeling that a bunch of these freaks are going to band together and decide to really go out and do something about their psychotic fears - mark my words - this is going to get really ugly before it gets any better. Washington Independent story is also filled with loads of scaritainment! The two boys in German hats and the "Hilter - Next time no more Mr Nice Guy" pics are truly bizarre. Maybe these people need to be investigated BEFORE somebody gets hurt. These people are McVieists who want an armed confrontation with the government because they screwed up the country and lost the election. raynman Says: The Right Wing has turned into the Party of Fear, and existed quite well when there was some huge diabolical BAD THING that it could rally against, such as Commies! When the old BAD THING disappeared, they floundered around trying to create new BAD THINGS for people to be scared of. When the people decided that fear was the wrong way to decide how to go through life, the the Right Wing decided that the new BAD THING to fear was America itself. joe cantwell Says: Sachem Says: The comments section from the Washington Independent story is also filled with loads of scaritainment! The two boys in German hats and the "Hilter - Next time no more Mr Nice Guy" pics are truly bizarre. I think I'll go listen to more Michelle Bachmann rants to settle down. tombaker Says: Poor sob's got no idea who their real enemies are... Whatever - like anyone will ever see those shirts, aside from other backwoods dive-bar and adult bookstore patrons. osage Says: SELF-EXTINCTION Today's GOP is a genetically and or psychologically depraved hodgepodge of morally and ethically defective mutants, miscreants and kamikaze loyalists who are crashing and burning all things Republican. They are the figurative buzzards and hyenas fighting over the last scraps of a carcass that's riddled with maggots and festering clumps of putrefied flesh. They are the opportunistic parasites whose very existence is and always has been dependent on the success of alpha predators. Today's GOP represents nothing more than the dying gasps of a failing species that is desperately struggling to survive in shrinking pools of their own toxic waste. dixie blood Says: #12 says Obama needs to go on teevee and address this now before more paranoid Republicans go on killing rampages. I agree that would be the first and best step to take immediately. The reich-wing is accusing him of so much sh|t that it's are to keep up. NEXT: Break up the media oligarchy and put the airwaves back into the hands of the people. Review each local broadcast license with a fine tooth comb for conflict of interest, political influence, interest in serving the BROAD community, etc. If the people have no voice in the MSM then the people are being herded into gas chamber. pastcaring ceratopogonidae Says: lurkmode Says: So these gun nuts think Hitler gave great speeches? a man who would have sent them to the gas chamber for being from the 'undesirable classes'. amish_edison Says: I honestly think that they do want to incite an armed doemstic uprising if for no other reason than to throw a wrench into Obama's efforts. Fear is the only tool they have left to try and save their fading political existance. both want armed uprising against US government, both want Obama to fail, both support kidnapping and torturing, both support violence in response to ideological opposition, etc... muzz Says: spearNmagicHelmet Says: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- if they all weren't so braindead i might actually be concerned. That's EXACTLY the reason I AM concerned - if one of the right-wing talking heads tells them to do something about this - they WILL! pete Says: Guido the Loving OBGYN Says: Obama needs to go on teevee and address this now before more paranoid Republicans go on killing rampages. Unfortunately, those who need to be reached have sworn to never listen to, much less believe, anything President Obama says. Brian Crooks Says: lurkmode Says: So these gun nuts think Hitler gave great speeches? What's most disturbing is that these things sold out in a matter of hours. I hated Bush as much as the next guy but I would never have worn a shirt that compared him to HITLER for crying out loud. both want armed uprising against US government, both want Obama to fail, both support kidnapping and torturing, both support violence in response to ideological opposition, etc... Hoodathunktick Says: I love the wing nut idea that only wing nuts have guns and understand true American ideals. I deplore the idea that they feel if it comes to a confrontation, they automatically (pun intended) win. There is a BIG surprise waiting if you even think about trying. gummble-bee-itch Says: muzz Says: spearNmagicHelmet Says: ----------------------------------------------------- if they all weren't so braindead i might actually be concerned. That's EXACTLY the reason I AM concerned - if one of the right-wing talking heads tells them to do something about this - they WILL! I have no doubt they're enraged that a Black man is running the country, but I honestly don't believe that this crowd is capable of running a real insurrection and none of them has enough courage to do so. Shooting up cars and wearing racist t-shirts is as brave as they get. Of course, it only takes one wetbrain with a gun to kill; I just hope the Secret Service has learned from previous mistakes and that President Obama does not take foolish physical risks. both want armed uprising against US government, both want Obama to fail, both support kidnapping and torturing, both support violence in response to ideological opposition, etc... pete Says: 49 deaths in 6 separate mass shootings in about a month. It has become less dangerous to be a US soldier in Iraq than to be a cop or innocent bystander here at home. christopher wiwi Says: Bonnie Says: This is racism in all its glory and shame. Then again we are talking about Reich Wing nuts that are loyal to the American Taliban who hate America and Obama because we elected a man who happens to African American. MapleStreet Says: Hitler gave good speeches too (on picture). President Obama gives very cool and collected speeches - calmly presenting the facts. Rioting in the streets (as some talk radio folks have called on the people to do). So close your eyes, and think about just the sound of speeches by Obama, Hitler, and Limbaugh. Then go to Sesame street and see which 2 are like each other and which one is different. Hoodathunktick Says: gummble-bee-itch Says: I just hope the Secret Service has learned from previous mistakes and that President Obama does not take foolish physical risks. If they try to assassinate a black president it truly will be the work of a deranged nutbag. And the deranged nutbag who can get through the Secret Service protection these days doesn't exist. aplbotm Says: I seem to remember many many t-shirts, posters and Youtube videos of Bush being compared to Hitler. So let's not get too excited when the other side does it. The more hypocritical we look, the less people take us serious. We have gained so much credibility over the years, we can not afford to lose it now over something that is so easily proved a problem with both parties. dixie blood Says: #53 Maplestreet says, Hitler whipped the masses into a fury. Rioting in the streets (as some talk radio folks have called on the people to do)... So close your eyes, and think about just the sound of speeches by Obama, Hitler, and Limbaugh. Or the Religulous, Chirstianista's sermons from the likes of James Dobso... |
