No huge surprise there, I should think. The end result of sorting out how and when the AR jammed (if it was indeed the AR and not something else) is yet to be told. The publicized shot showing the AR on the pavement is clearly a 30 round mag, leaving me to wonder if there wasn't some extrapolation by a numbnuts reporter. But the jam is no surprise, either, no matter what it was. He didn't have any of his weapons long enough to have satisfied any reliability testing or break-in without some diligent range time, about which we've heard nothing I've seen. Then there's that statement about squirting out 200 rounds in under 2 minutes someone (probably an anti) made. I wonder if even a well practiced AR gunny could do it needing to switch mags. (Now, were it an M16, well, even then mag changes would be slowing it down.)
First Confirmed Military Death he died a Hero in the end Protecting His girlfriend from the bullets. full story at link. ‘He Provided Me the Opportunity to Survive’: Woman Describes How Military Boyfriend Took a Bullet for Her During Shooting A woman who survived the deadly Aurora, Co. movie theater shooting said her military member boyfriend laid on top of her during the gunfire, taking a bullet and sacrificing his own life to save hers. Jansen Young said she didn’t realize at first what was happening when alleged gunman James Holmes opened fire on the theater where she was seeing “The Dark Knight Rises” with boyfriend Jon Blunk, according to NBC’s “Today.” She described an object first sailing into the theater over the audience, which police have said contained an unknown gas. “It flew up behind us…and it just went boom,“ Young said Saturday on ”Today.” When the shooting started, she said Blunk immediately shoved her to the ground. “He pushed my hips to the floor and he’s like, Jansen, Jansen get down and stay down,” she said. “He kind of pushed me in under the seat and pushed on me real hard and he was laying up against me, he kind of whispered in my ear, ‘There’s someone with a gun and he’s shooting people.’” “I didn’t know, but he knew immediately that it was real,” she said. Young said it wasn’t until she tried to get out of the theater herself that she realized Jon was lifeless. “I tried to shake him and was saying his name, and like Jon, Jon we’ve got to go,” she said. “I kind of poked my head up at that point and realized oh my gosh, nobody’s in here, it’s just us. There were like a few other heads here and there I could see leaving the theater but really the theater was empty…that’s when I got out and I kept thinking that was…oh my gosh, I think Jon just took a bullet for me.” “I was thinking about what a great hero he was and he provided me the opportunity to survive,” she said. “He wasn’t just a hero last night, he has been a hero forever,” she said. She said Blunk had planned to re-enlist in the military, telling her once, “Jansen, I was born to serve my country.” “He was re-enlisting it was just what he wanted to do and he loved it,” she said. “He saved me and he gave me the opportunity to live, he would have done it for anyone that day…that’s just who he was.”
It looks like the Airman didn't survive his wounds. Jessie Childress SSgt, USAFR 310th Space Wing Rest in peace, brother.
Make that 3 confirmed military deaths Another of the fatal victims was John Thomas Larimer, a service member in the Navy who was serving at his first post, said his father, Scott Larimer. A Navy notification team officially informed the family in Crystal Lake, Illinois, around midnight Saturday, a statement from the family said. Petty Officer Third Class Larimer joined the Navy in June 2011. "I am incredibly saddened by the loss of Petty Officer John Larimer––he was an outstanding shipmate, "said Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski, Larimer's commanding officer. "A valued member of our Navy team, he will be missed by all who knew him. My heart goes out to John's family, friends and loved ones, as well as to all victims of this horrible tragedy." On Saturday, an Air Force spokesman confirmed the death of another service member, Staff Sgt. Jesse Childress. Childress was an Air Force reservist on active duty with the 310 Force Support Squadron. Massacre: 'Oh my God, this is really happening' While relatives endured a day of anguish Friday, racing between Denver-area hospitals and trying to learn the fate of their loved ones, some already knew the answer.

This looks nothing like the boy in the video doing the science camp. Not sure what happened between then and now but he looks like he has been brainwashed. Who Financed this operation? Jason
George Zimmerman is probably the only person that's happy about this tragedy. A week from now, people will ask "George who?".
Back to the question of CS or Tear Gas. Isn't it true that why this stuff is effective is that it is heavier than air and it settles after initial dispersal. If that were the case how could so many of these potential victims laid low and played dead. They would not have been able to lay there playing possum if it truly were CS or Tear Gas. They would have been forced by the gas alone to run screaming to an exit, and in his gun sights. Seems to me this was nothing but a SMOKE grenade. Any comments or input on this from the experts here LEOs or Military who have used CS or Tear Gas.
Numb Nutz is in court, watch the video at the bottom, and his facial expressions.. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/aurora-shooting-died-bullets-sweeties-article-1.1119395
BTW if anyone cares, I just read all 137 posts, watched every video link, and guess what? The only mention of CS gas was here at Survival Monkey by Guit-fishN and me arguing with him. NO DEFINITE VERIFICATION OF CS OR TEAR GAS WHAT SO EVER. post #1 Smoke, #3 prison planet link - Smoke or Tear Gas, #21 some kind of gas, #24 "fire alarm went off" ", did you smell tear gas or smoke? NO, #26 gas cannister, #114 two cannisters thrown into crowd POSSIBLY containing Tear Gas. . I searched hard for anyone treated for Tear Gas or CS gas and found nothing what so ever. . We need to be more careful about the speculation we start. ..... jus sayin ..... thus endith the sermon
No kidding! You would have to immediately shut down the site and open under a new moniker. Libtards snooping around would just fan the flames of oppressive govt. intrusion into every aspect of our lives--from milk and eggs to hot lead.
WE...by which you mean ME, didn't START anything. I saw this several times in different news stories, or else I wouldn't have mentioned it. Why didn't I say he shot everyone with a Gatling gun? Perhaps you should be 100% sure of something before YOU start pointing fingers. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...ar-gas-hospitalizations-health_n_1689963.html http://www.10news.com/news/31291391/detail.html http://www.breakingnews.com/item/ah...nisters-found-on-scene-no-evidence-of-an-expl I could keep going.....
Please do. If anyone besides me reads these and checks the links, it supports my position. I said we because you started it here and I jumped right in. WE, you and I. . Huffington post link ...... speculation, nothing conclusive. channel 10 news link ..... ditto, mostly about access to getting tear gas, supports my earlier position @marcambinder .... are you kidding me! a freakin TWEET. if I were to believe this person with no creds what so ever, two Tear Gas Cannisters were found .... YOU Have to do better than this, so yes . Please do go on and provide us with clear cut evidence. Please.
