Suspicious Shooting at Texas Capitol Results in Lockdown

The Texas Capitol building was placed on lockdown Thursday after a man fired shots on the south steps. A call to the Texas Department of Public Safety by the Alex Jones Show identified the suspect as a 24-year old man from Houston.

Police arrest man accused of opening fire at the Capitol in Austin, Texas. Note officer at left with handgun, presumably a Glock semi-automatic.

“His name has not yet been released to the public, and a motive for the shooting was not immediately known,” MyFox Houston later reported.

State Senator Dan Patrick posted on his Twitter account that the man had entered his office at the Capitol prior to the shooting incident. “An individual came into my Austin Senate office today acting strangely, staff called security, moments later shots fired on Capitol steps,” Patrick wrote. It is not known if the man acting strangely in Patrick’s office was the same man who fired the shots moments later.

A witness on the scene said she heard police say there might be another suspect on the building’s third floor, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Alex Jones said on his nationally syndicated radio show today he believes it is highly suspicious the police did not shoot the man. Police commonly take out individuals firing weapons and endangering the public, especially at government buildings.

The shooting may be used as an excuse to install naked body scanners at the Capitol, Jones said. In 2008, authorities installed a body scanner at a courthouse in Castle Rock, Colorado. Earlier this month, a man went on a shooting rampage at a federal courthouse in Las Vegas, Nevada.

VA: 8 Dead
The number of shooting incidents has increased dramatically in the USA since the Fort Hood incident. Whether the reasons are the copycat effect, behavior contagion, media reporting increase, or coincidence doesn't matter. It is happening and we are in the midst of a major cluster. Another shooting has occurred.

Texas Gun Shows Organizer Targeted by the ATF Makes His Case on the Alex Jones Show

Darwin Boedeker of Texas Gun Shows appeared on the Alex Jones Show today and provided details of the criminal conspiracy by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (abbreviated ATF) and the Austin police to shut down the show last week.

Under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the ATF has absolutely no authority to regulate gun sales between private individuals on the state of Texas.

In a classic case of Mafia intimidation, the ATF in league with the Austin Police Department leaned on Boedeker in a brazen and illegal attempt to scare away participants and ultimately close down his business.

On Thursday, January 14, Mr. Boedeker was asked to meet with representatives of the ATF and Austin police at a building in Austin used for police interviews and interrogations. In addition to Boedeker, the two hour meeting included the participation of HEB, an Austin grocery retailer. HEB holds the lease on the building where the Texas Gun Shows events are held on the third week of every month.

Police, under the direction of ATF, told Boedeker he would be required to follow their recommendations or they would close down his event. Boedeker said he was told you do what we say or we shut you down. He said the ultimatum was recorded by the police and ATF.

Mr. Boedeker indicated enforcing the ATF recommendations would destroy his business. He said he would not issue a public notice unless it indicated the so-called recommendations were issued by the Austin Police and the ATF.

In order to make their case, the ATF and APD cited numerous alleged criminal cases associated with a previous gun show organizer. Mr. Boedeker said the ATF and APD did not seem aware that he is not associated with previous gun show events at the location.

Boedeker said he is far down on the totem pole of gun show events and he believes this is why the police under the direction of the ATF engaged in criminal racketeering against him.

Boedekers flier issued under government coercion and the demand of the event center building lease holder states:

At the direction of the Austin Police Department and the The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms anyone selling a firearm at this show location will be asked to comply with the following: 1. Any person selling a personal firearm must go through a licensed FFL Dealer in the show to transfer the firearm to the new owner. 2. Selling of Firearms in the parking lot will not be permitted. Thank you for your cooperation!

Police officers dressed in street clothes attended the event and watched participants, according to Boedeker. The police admitted to him they are interested in forcing gun shows to provide background checks on buyers.

From 23 in the "Ron Paul: CIA runs the U.S. government" thread:

Hey, elfismiles. Since you're busy keeping Austin and RI wierd, I'm curious if you have any feelings re. your Governor's comments here. TIA.

Hi 23. Thanks for asking.

I actually played that and another clip on Sunday's night live episode of PsiOp-Radio.

To be honest, as with so much of the weirdness going on, I'm not sure what to make of it.

I've not had a chance to read all those articles I linked to above. Nor have I heard all of that AJ interviewing the Gun Show proprietor yet.

But the timing of this recent Capitol shooting and all of these local (and not so local) crackdowns seems suspicious to me.

Nearly every public parapolitical activist in Austin has spoken over the years of feeling like they were targeted by the BATF / FBI in attempts at gun-sale related sting operations.

And in fact DEA Drug Running whistleblower Cele Castillo was recently sent to prison in what many consider to be such a sting:

On October 22, 2008, on my attorney's advised, I plead out to two counts Superseding Information:

" Count One: Conspiracy to Traffic in firearms without a Firearms License;

" Count Two: Trafficking in Firearms without a License.

I was sentence to 37 months incarceration. The Honorable Judge Royal Furgeson had at first order my self-surrender for March 5, 2008.

So I don't know ... but again, it seems awfully suspicious.

It reminds me of the other Austin based Snitch-Shenanigans:
