CASCADE MALL SHOOTING AN ‘ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILL’?

Memory Hole

Victim Corpses Remain in Mall Overnight

Witnesses Sequestered from Press

Photograph depicts porta-potties, hugs and smiles at scene

As we have sought to document at MHB on a routine basis, ‘active shooter drills’ are now common occurrences across the US. Such “training” is a consequence of the heightened federalization of local and regional law enforcement.

The September 23 Cascade Mall shooting north of Seattle in northwest Washington State took place shortly before 7:00PM local time, and has certain suspect features evident in photos, particularly evidence of tents and porta-potties on the scene, as observed by a MHB reader.

There is an absence of footage of wounded or deceased victims in triage or being given ambulatory services away from the scene. Instead, news media were told victims remained in the mall awaiting the local coroner. The Washington Post reports,

“As of Saturday morning, the bodies of the four female victims were still inside the mall, Skagit County coroner Hayley Thompson said at a news conference Saturday. Thompson said when she gained access to the scene, the four female victims would be taken to Skagit Valley Hospital and undergo autopsies.”

Such events are reported on by major news media uncritically, thus supporting the call for strengthened gun control measures while ironically stimulating gun purchases by a public that fears such restrictions.

The Cascade Mall shooting’s police spokesperson for the event is Washington State Patrol’s Mark Francis. A press release was issued over 18 hours after the event transpired.

  • Whoa, If such small incidences are reported worldwide, then it might be true. However it raises some questions, coz the incident itself is not worth so much attention.

    Maybe someone is using such news to communicate in codes. I had witnessed similar rehearsals here in India itself, and never realised till the end when someone with ghastly wounds came over at a restaurant nearby for some snacks. After that, it seems the world is always trying to cause anxiety, depression & other mental disturbances.

    However I am 50, and have witnessed & got accustomed to loss of many acquaintances, who leave every year (2-3% of the persons, I have known to be exact) and life moves on.

    So I would expect the journalists/volunteers associated with your organisation to verify the facts, before publishing them. And regret to comment here, that your reports are confusing. Do you wish us to mourn their loss or make fun of this report.

    And do me a favour, One of my friends Billy Ariel Sharon is buried in the First Shearith Israel Graveyard (Chatham Square Cemetery), Chinatown, Manhattan. Please drop a note (& few flowers, if you will) there, that we all still miss him.
