Re: Waco-Type events (Reloaded)

RED LAKE, Minn. -- The FBI was called to investigate a shooting today at Red Lake High School that may have killed six people and injured 14, according to police and broadcast reports. At least four people have been hospitalized.

Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, said the shooting occured about 3 p.m. at the school in Red Lake. He said that as many as 14 people were injured. He said he did not know if any of the victims had been killed. \"We don't know that yet,\" he said. \"Our information is just too sketchy right now.\"

Red Lake High School principal Chris Dunshee called his wife Cathy shortly after the shootings occurred. \"He called to let me know he was OK and that was a relief,'' she said. \"He didn't want to tell me any details, but said he thoughht five or six people were shot and that one was dead.''

KSTP-TV and KARE 11, quoting a Red Lake reservation official, said that six people may have died and many others were injured.

Lyons also said the shooter was in custody. He did not identify the assailant or say how the suspect was caught. He also said authorities are investigating the possibility that there may have been more than one shooter.

Sherri Birkeland, a spokeswoman for North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji, said at about 5 p.m. that four people hurt in the shooting were in the hospital's emergency room. She said it was possible, but had not had a confirmation, that others might be brought in.

She did not know the victims' condition.

Both KSTP-TV and WCCO-AM reported the FBI had been called to the scene, and a news conference was planned later. An FBI spokesman didn't immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press, and officials with the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and the city police department said they had no information.

Red Lake High School, on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, has about 300 students, according to its website. The reservation is home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.

The Red Lake Indian Reservation is in far northern Minnesota, about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities.

Audrey Thayer, who lives in Bemidji and works as a researcher for the American Civil Liberties Union's Minneosta chapter, said the reservation was locked down by police with roadblocks. \"They have got it closed off,'' she said

You are correct that something is stirring and things seem to be accelerating in the last few days, but the ski lodge was a bad propane tank, thats fairly common. Besides I don't see why that would be a target for anyone.

Re: minuteman project... waco type event???

We have been discussing this on the Waco type events theread. I think that if Titor's war is going to happen the most likely starting point is the border situation in general, and this in particular.

A couple of things lead me to that conclusion. First this is getting alot of media coverage where similar things in the past have not. That is kind of similar to the coverage that was given to the cult at Waco in the weeks before the initial raid. Second, there are many factions present. The minutemen, the MS-13 pukebags, and the La Raza/Aztlan activists have all stated that they are going to be armed, naturally so are the government agents. This is a recipe for a firefight if I've ever heard one. Not only that, but MS-13 has directly stated their intention to start one and the La Raza people have made vauge "warnings to the militiamen"
Third, the open border seems to be something that both the Bush anmins and Clinton tacitly encouraged. These citizens have recognized the problem, and are bringing direct pollitical pressure against the administration. This has percipitated most of this type of incident.
Hang on folks this ones going to get nasty.
 
Re: minuteman project... waco type event???

Now THIS is actually a job for the Govt. they need to step in and do something Intelligent. We could hope for a oxymoron to prove itself wrong.
 
Re: minuteman project... waco type event???

I've merged the minuteman thread with the Waco Events thread because it's the same subject. Somebody stop me if I'm "doing it wrong." LOL

Ok, heres another reason why this is going to get nasty.

WASHINGTON - Maybe it?s the Texas-twangy Spanish he speaks, or his pro-immigrant views, or formerly governing a state that shares a border with Mexico, or even his Latino-heartthrob nephew. But whatever the reason, George W. Bush seems to have been more popular with Latino voters than any other Republican presidential candidate before him.

In 1996, two years after Republican Gov. Pete Wilson of California championed Proposition 187, which barred illegal immigrants from receiving health and social services and which infuriated the Latino community, Bob Dole received support from just 21 percent of Latino voters, according to exit polls. But in 2000, Bush increased that amount to 35 percent. And last year, exit polls showed him winning the support of 44 percent of Latino voters ? although a later analysis by NBC News lowered that figure to a still-impressive 40 percent.

That standing will certainly be on display Wednesday, when Bush meets at his Crawford ranch with Mexican President Vicente Fox to discuss, among other things, Bush?s plan to grant legal status to millions of undocumented workers who live in this country. The meeting will also give Bush another opportunity to practice his Spanish and call Fox ?un amigo de mio y tambien un amigo de los Estados Unidos? (translation: a friend of mine and also a friend of the United States), as he did when the two men toured Ohio in 2001.

Growing numbers
But can future Republicans duplicate Bush?s success with Latinos? It?s a question, so far, that few political observers have asked. But its political importance shouldn?t be understated: According to the William C. Velasquez Institute, a Latino think tank, there were nearly 10 million Latino registered voters in last year?s election who cast approximately 7 million votes, and it projects that those numbers will double in the next 16 years.

Latino advocates note that the Democratic Party, which historically has attracted the bulk of Latino voters, has given the Republicans an opening. In the 2004 presidential election, ?the Democrats fielded candidates who don?t know the Latino community, who didn?t relate with the Latino community, and who don?t work with the Latino community,? said Cecilia Munoz, the vice president of public policy at the National Council of La Raza, a Latino civil rights group. In addition, Bush has appointed some Latinos to key positions in his Cabinet ? such as Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, and former HUD Secretary Mel Martinez (now a U.S. senator) ? something probably not lost on the Latino community.

Even so, Munoz and other Latino advocates argue that the upcoming debate over Bush?s immigration proposal could influence the GOP?s future success with Latino voters. ?If the anti-immigrants win this debate, that?s going to leave an impression,? Munoz said. ?But if Bush signs credible reform that?s going to leave an impression, too.?

Sorry about the ads and stuff, coulden't get rid of them.
Latinos are the fastest growing voting block in the country. Both parties want to corner that vote. I think that the gvt. will be more than willing to burn a few patriots to corner the market on those votes.

EDIT: Got rid of the ads, left the links ;)
