"Colorado prisons chief shot, killed at home" by P. Solomon Banda | Associated Press, March 21, 2013
MONUMENT, Colo. — Colorado’s top state prison official was shot and killed when he answered the front door of his house, setting off a hunt for the shooter and raising questions about whether the attack had anything to do with his job....
The killing stunned officials in both states....
At a news conference, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper was red-eyed and somber, speaking haltingly as he said he did not think the killing was part of any larger attack against his Cabinet, members of which stood behind him, several of them crying. Others dabbed their eyes....
While the motive of the killing was not immediately clear, similar attacks on officials have been on the rise in the United States, said Glenn McGovern, an investigator in the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office in California who tracks such incidents globally. He said there have been as many in the past three years as the entire prior decade.
Here comes the agenda that needs to be furthered.

How vile, huh? No wonder I'm so confused.
The attacks are often motivated by revenge, said McGovern, who has documented more than 133 attacks, including 41 homicides, against judges, prosecutors, and other justice and police officials since 1950.
Not to make light of it; however, the attacks have averaged TWO a YEAR for the last 65 years
And you wonder why I suspect my paper of shoveling bulls****?
‘‘It’s often taking place away from the office, which makes sense, because everyone’s hardening up their facilities,’’ said McGovern, adding that he advises prosecutors to constantly assess the safety of their residences....
Gee, and who benefit$ there? Which home security company gets the call?
It would have been simple to find Clements’ home. It took two clicks to get his correct street address through a publicly available Internet locator Wednesday.
Oh, I see. So now PUBLIC OFFICIALS and their residences, etc, will be CLASSIFIED! That's one purpose of this mind-manipulating psy-op.
Excuse me while I give the sieg heil salute.
And why is this cut from the web version of my printed pos?
"While Clements generally kept a low profile, his killing comes a week after he denied a request by a Saudi national to serve out the remainder of a Colorado prison sentence in Saudi Arabia. He cited al-Turki's refusal to undergo sex offender treatment. Homaidan al-Turki, a well-known member of Denver's Muslim community, was convicted in state court in 2006 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion and sentenced to 28 years to life in prison. Prosecutors said he kept a housekeeper a virtual slave for four years and sexually assaulted her."
You should know by know that is how Saudis treat their women.

And can it just be coincidence that on the very same day:
"Colorado governor signs sweeping new firearms law" by Ivan Moreno | Associated Press, March 21, 2013
DENVER — The bills thrust Colorado into the national spotlight as a potential test of how far the country might be willing to go with new gun restrictions after the horror of mass killings at an Aurora movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.

Pittsfield Spitball
Fired from Connecticut.
The approval by Governor John Hickenlooper came exactly eight months after dozens of people were shot at the theater, and the day after the executive director of the state Corrections Department was shot and killed at his home.
I'm sorry, it's all just a little to coincidental in the staged and scripted world of the AmeriKan media. Something really stinks.
The bills require background checks for private and online gun sales and ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
Two ballot measures have already been proposed to try to undo the restrictions.
I love democracy, even if I suspect a rigged vote.
At the signing ceremony, Hickenlooper was surrounded by lawmakers who sponsored the bills. He looked around with a solemn expression before signing a measure requiring buyers to pay fees for background checks.
Yes, you will pay for your own enslavement, Americans.
Each time he signed a bill, applause erupted from lawmakers and their guests, who included Jane Dougherty, whose sister was killed in the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.; Sandy Phillips, whose daughter was killed in Aurora; and Tom Mauser, whose son was killed in the 1999 Columbine shooting.
Did you know there are questions and discrepancies regarding Columbine, too?
Nothing is what you were told, American.
Phillips, who lost daughter Jessica Ghawi, reminded Hickenlooper that it was the eight-month anniversary of the theater rampage.
‘‘You’ve given us a real gift today,’’ she told the governor.
Later, Phillips added: ‘‘Thank you so much. You’re leading the entire country.’’
Mauser also expressed gratitude.
‘‘I knew it would be a long haul,’’ he said. ‘‘But I had faith in the people of Colorado.’’
Democratic Representative Rhonda Fields, who represents the district that includes Aurora, said the governor had signed ‘‘common-sense legislation that reduces gun violence in our communities by keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic violence offenders, and the seriously mentally ill.’’
We already have common-sense laws that are not enforced.
The shootings led Hickenlooper and other state Democrats to take on the issue of gun control. They succeeded while members of their party stumbled in other states.
Washington state’s Democrat-controlled House failed this month to pass a universal background check bill. A bill requiring background checks at gun shows in New Mexico also stalled in that Democrat-led Legislature....
Republicans have warned that voters will punish Hickenlooper and other Democrats who voted for the measures.
‘‘I’m telling you, they have overreached, and there are going to be electoral consequences,’’ said Republican Senator Greg Brophy.
Republicans have said limiting magazine sizes will drive jobs from the state, and ultimately won’t prevent criminals from getting larger magazines in other states.
Unfortunately, they are right.
One Colorado-based manufacturer of ammunition magazines disclosed plans to relocate because of the new restrictions.
Some county sheriffs opposed the new background checks, arguing the move is unenforceable and endangers Second Amendment rights.

On behalf of the Second Amendment, I say thank you to all the good sheriffs out there.

"Colorado Senate OK’s gun control bills" Associated Press, March 12, 2013
DENVER — The Democratic gun control package in Colorado is being watched nationally to see how a politically moderate state with a gun-loving past responds to the recent shootings in suburban Denver and in Newtown, Conn.
Democratic Senate leader Morgan Carroll said lawmakers have no excuse after those mass shootings not to tighten gun rights. Her district includes the Aurora movie theater where 12 people were killed....
Republicans tried in vain to stop the package....
Two proposals in the Democratic gun package were pulled last week because of lack of support. Those were a liability measure for gun owners and a concealed-weapons ban on college campuses....
But the magazine limits made it through, and that's all that really matters. Guns aren't much good without bullets.

And now over to Texas:
"Texas shootout may be tied to Colo. official’s killing" by Angela K. Brown and P. Solomon Banda | Associated Press, March 22, 2013
DECATUR, Texas — A paroled Colorado inmate who may be linked to the slaying of the state’s prison chief led Texas deputies on a 100-mile-per-hour car chase that ended Thursday after he crashed into a semi-trailer truck and then opened fire before being shot down by his pursuers.
Oh, no, I have a REEDITED REWRITE that is called an update on my hands!!
That's the hallmark of false flag psy-ops, folks!
Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, was driving a Cadillac in Texas that matched the description of the vehicle seen leaving the neighborhood where Colorado’s prison chief, Tom Clements, was shot. Authorities said Ebel was not expected to survive and was hooked up to equipment for organ harvesting.
Were the parts sent to New Jersey? And once again a shooter is dead.
Colorado investigators immediately headed to Texas to determine whether Ebel was linked to Clements’s slaying and the killing Sunday of Nathan Leon, a Denver pizza delivery man. Police in Colorado would only say the connection is strong but would not elaborate or say whether they believe Ebel killed Clements and Leon.
‘‘We don’t know yet exactly whether this is the guy,’’ Governor John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. ‘‘There’s some indication. I hope it is.’’
If true it's an interesting connection.
The Texas car chase started when a sheriff’s deputy in Montague County, James Boyd, tried to pull over the Cadillac around 11 a.m. Thursday, authorities there said. They would not say exactly why he was stopped, but called it routine.
The driver opened fire on Boyd, wounding him, Wise County Sheriff David Walker said at an afternoon news conference in Decatur. He then fled south before crashing into the semi as he tried to elude his pursuers....
That's about as close as the web gets to giving you the printed article I see before me on my desk.
What the revised edition added:
The car is so far the main link authorities have given between the Colorado case and the Texas shootout. El Paso County sheriff’s investigators have been looking for a dark, late-model car, possibly a Lincoln or a Cadillac, that a neighbor spotted near Clements’s home around the time of the shooting.
--more--"
No mention of the Saudi national/CIA asset that is referenced in my printed paper, or that the guy they shot had no identification.
But hey, the AmeriKan media have confirmed the identity and we all know they would never push a staged and scripted lie as truth:
"Shooter linked to Colo. case; Casings same as in prison chief’s death" by Angela K. Brown and P. Solomon Banda | Associated Press, March 23, 2013
DECATUR, Texas — Shell casings from a Texas shootout with a white supremacist parolee from Colorado are the same make and caliber as those found at the home of Colorado’s prison chief after he was killed, according to legal papers....
I guess the Saudi terrorist angle didn't take so they turned into a domestic terrorist.
If I didn't know better I would swear they are making this up as they go along.
Authorities also found a Domino’s pizza bag and a jacket or shirt in the trunk of the car Evan Spencer Ebel was driving when Texas deputies tried to pull him over — a link to another slaying, that of a pizza deliveryman whose body was found Sunday.
I've been told it was so he could get the uniform to use as a disguise(?).
Ebel, 28, was a Colorado parolee with a long record of convictions since 2003 for various crimes including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. He was a member of a white supremacist prison gang called the 211s, a federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
So which government handler was running the organization?
Colorado officials would not confirm Ebel’s gang ties or say whether they had anything to do with the death of prisons director Tom Clements, 58. But they locked down prisons Friday for the second time since the slaying of Clements without giving a reason and said troopers are providing extra security for government officials.
“We are at a heightened alert,” said Steve Johnson of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation on Friday.
This really is starting to stink like a psyop.
Denver police said they are confident Ebel was involved in the death of Nathan Leon, 27, the pizza man found Sunday.
They have been less forthcoming about Ebel’s link to the death of Clements, aside from saying the car Ebel was driving, a black Cadillac, is similar to one seen at the home of Clements....
The FBI and local officials were also examining another case similar to the Clements killing — the Jan. 31 slaying of a prosecutor in Kaufman — about 100 miles from where Ebel got into the shootout. Mark Hasse was gunned down near the courthouse.
Authorities have investigated whether Hasse’s death could be linked to a white supremacist gang.

"Inmate is suspect in official’s death
DENVER — Colorado investigators said for the first time that a former inmate who was killed in a gunfight with Texas officers is a suspect in the death of Colorado’s state prison chief. The evidence gathered in Texas after the death of Evan Spencer Ebel provides a ‘‘strong, strong lead’’ in the slaying of Colorado Department of Correction director Tom Clements, who was killed at his front door, an El Paso County sheriff’s spokesman said Saturday."
"Parolee’s gun linked to Colo. shooting" Associated Press, March 26, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS — Gun evidence links a Colorado parolee fatally shot in Texas with the death of Colorado’s correctional chief, investigators said Monday.
The El Paso County sheriff’s office said that ‘‘unique and often microscopic markings’’ found on shell casings in Texas and Colorado lead investigators to conclude that the gun Evan Ebel used to shoot at authorities in Texas was the same gun used to kill Tom Clements at his home last Tuesday....
That ties it up I guess.
What remained unknown though was why Clements was killed Tuesday night and whether Ebel acted alone.
‘‘There are no answers at this time surrounding motive, and gaining these answers could be a lengthy process for investigators,’’ sheriff’s spokesman Lieutenant Jeff Kramer said in a statement....
I'm not expecting any, either.

Nothing yet from the Globe on how the dead guy got the guns; however, it coincidentally bolsters the case for a bill before Congress.
Hmmmmmm.

"Colorado theater shooting suspect offers guilty plea" by Dan Elliott and P. Solomon Banda | Associated Press, March 28, 2013
DENVER — Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes has offered to plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty — a deal that would bring a swift end to the sometimes wrenching courtroom battle and circumvent a prolonged debate over his sanity.
And it would keep him quiet.
Of course, he's supposed to be insane so how he could make on offer like that is....
Prosecutors haven’t said whether they would accept the offer, and victims and survivors of last summer’s massacre were divided on what should be done....

"Police storm home, kill gunman inside
AURORA — A gunman fired shots at police from a second-story window before he was killed as SWAT officers stormed his home Saturday. Inside, they found the bodies of three other adults. The suspect held officers at bay for nearly six hours after neighbors reported gunfire at 3 a.m. inside the modest townhouse. The shootings occurred about 4 miles from the movie theater where 12 people were killed and dozens wounded by a gunman on July 20 (AP)."

"Hunters seek to boycott Colorado over gun laws" Associated Press, March 28, 2013
COLORADO SPRINGS — Hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.
Colorado last week became the first Western state to ratchet back gun rights in response to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Connecticut.
The fact that those two incidents are incessantly flogged keys you to their agenda-pushing, false-flag nature, folks.
Opponents warned that the gun controls would hurt hunters, especially an expansion of background-check requirements for personal and online gun sales.
Republican opponents of the new background-check law said it would make criminals of hunters lending one another weapons for weekend hunting trips. In response, Democrats changed the bill to give people a 72-hour grace period to share guns without triggering background-check requirements. Republicans then said the bill would imperil weeklong hunting trips.
Gun rights advocates who said hunters would boycott Colorado say hunters are following through on the threats.
Michael Bane, a freelance producer for the Outdoor Channel, announced he will no longer film his four shows in Colorado.
Hunting outfitters say people began canceling trips after the legislation passed, The Gazette of Colorado Springs reported.
Northwest Colorado hunting guide Chris Jurney expects more defections in a major tourism industry. Out-of-state hunters accounted for 15 percent of hunting licenses last year.
