2 Officers Shot at Pentagon Metro Entrance …Update: Shooter Identified As Crazy Anti-Bush Truther- Photos …Update: Shooter Dead
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 5, 2010, 4:15 AM
UPDATE: Patterico has this guy pegged as an anti-Bush Truther.
Via Charles Johnson comes this link to some crazy ranting from the guy. It was recorded in November 2006 — when Bush was president, to belabor the obvious. I transcribed this part, in which he is speaking of criminal organizations working within the U.S. Government:
This criminal organization would use its powers to convert military, intelligence, and law enforcement bureaucracies into instruments for political control, and the domination and subjection of society, while discrediting, destroying, and murdering honest individuals within those services, that work to root out corruption, and faithfully serve their fellow citizens. This organization, like so many murderous governments throughout history, would see the sacrifice of thousands of its citizens in an event such as the September 11 attacks, as a small cost in order to perpetuate its barbaric control. This collection of gangsters would find it in their interest to foment conflict and initiate wars throughout the world, in order to divert attention from their misconduct and criminality. The true nature of such a regime would find its clearest expression in the satanic violence currently ongoing in Iraq.
So, do you suppose the state-run media will report this or will they hide it like they did when Obama-supporting wackjob Amy Bishop slaughtered three professors last month in Alabama?
UPDATE: The Shooter died last night after the Pentagon attack. He hated the military.
The Age reported:
The suspect, John Patrick Bedell, died after exchanging gunfire with two police officers.
In an Internet posting, a user named JPatrickBedell wrote he was determined to see justice for the 1991 death of a Marine in California. The death was ruled a suicide but has long been the source of coverup theories. The writer said the case would be a step toward revealing the truth behind 9/11.
The user also railed against enforcement of marijuana laws.
The screen name can be linked to the suspect in Thursday’s attack through documents about a marijuana arrest that were posted on the site, which match the date of birth of the shooter and official court records available online.
Earlier… Two officers were injured today when a gunman shot at them at the main entrance to the Metro commuter rail system.
Reuters reported:
Two Pentagon security officers were wounded on Thursday evening when a gunman shot at them in the giant office building’s main entrance to the Metro commuter rail system, Pentagon officials said.
The gunman was also shot and all three were taken to hospital, the officials said, adding that none of the wounds was life-threatening.
All entrances to the five-sided headquarters of the Defense Department in Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, were closed shortly after the incident.
“Metro is locked down until further notice,” Pentagon police said in a message over the building’s intercom.
FOX News has more on the attack:
Pentagon spokesman Layman said the suspect walked up to the main entrance of the Pentagon at 6:40 p.m. and opened fire. He hit two officers. The officers fired back, and the suspect was hit. His injures are more serious.
UPDATE: The shooter is in critical condition. Associated Press sources identified him as 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell.
A Pentagon source told Fox News the gunman was shot in the head.
UPDATE: Detoxicon found this photo:
UPDATE: Here’s another set of photos, via Free Republic–
These were taken during his pot bust.

Don’t worry.
It will be a “lone gunman” with “no ties to terrorism” even if his name is “Mohammad Al Die Infidel Pigs” and he’s carted away screaming “aloha snackbar.”

Well I hope he dies, it’s costs less that way.

It didn’t happen. Guns are not allowed in DC.

Now we are going to hear how the gun ban was struck down and this happened because of it. Actually, it happened in spite of it. The media will refuse to see the difference.

The Pentagon is across the Potomac River, in Arlington, Virginia.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What I want to know is: How many times did the officers have to shoot the clown to put him down; and Why isn’t he dead? Was it a failure of the caliber used? The clown should have been dead at the scene.

2nd person scrutinized in Pentagon subway shooting
By DEVLIN BARRETT and MATT APUZZO
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) – Law enforcement officials say they’ve got one person in custody and are investigating whether a second was involved in a shooting at Pentagon subway entrance
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still unfolding.
They say there’s no immediate signs of terrorism but, with information coming in quickly, they haven’t ruled anything out.
Two police officers were shot and critically wounded in the shooting.
wtd commented:
Name too common. Lots of guys online going by the name John Bedell mid 30′s in US and UK, black and white, ranging in career choice from home decorators, West Point Librarians, Photographers, Real Estate agents . . . it’s anyone’s guess at this point.

Consider the following report posted at Drudge earlier this afternoon:
Pentagon approves hacker training for cyberwarriors… via Drudge
and the following link from Freep . . .
J. Patrick Bedell
“The principal investigator for the proposed research is J. Patrick Bedell, the chief executive officer of DNAputer Research, Incorporated. In addition to a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of California at Santa Cruz, Mr. Bedell has an intense desire to contribute to the national security of the United States.”

Opus #6 commented:
If he attacked the Pentagon, doesn’t that make him an anti-military activist? By definition? Not a Tea Partier. Tea Partiers send Hallmark cards to our troops.
Jo commented:
He is a democrat, because he mistook the Pentagon for the White House. He voted for Bozo but now hang his head in shame b/c Bozo actually was a liar and dummies who voted for the buffoon could not make this out, thus their reaction to stop the voices in his head — he blames Bozo b/c of his stupidity. Typical liberal reactionism.
IndieJones commented:
Looks as if John Patrick Bedell was Amy Bishop’s prom date.
ann commented:
wtd, (post #15) you are good!! DNAputer Research is in Hollister, CA. Media is now reporting that John Patrick Bedell is from Hollister, CA.
Buzz commented:
There’s lots of info on this guy on Free Republic (also lots of info about a couple of guys with slightly different names, so read carefully). Bottom line – the guy is a pothead and a Bush-hating 9-11 Truther. But he’s also a fan of Lew Rockwell, which is all the media needs to call him a “right winger”. Count on it.
Kenny Solomon commented:
P.O.S. shooter dead.
But wait, there’s more……….

There are emerging signs that the suspect in a Pentagon subway station shooting may have harbored resentment for the military and had doubts about the facts behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The suspect, John Patrick Bedell, died after exchanging gunfire with two police officers.
In an Internet posting, a user named JPatrickBedell wrote he was determined to see justice for the 1991 death of a Marine in California. The death was ruled a suicide but has long been the source of coverup theories. The writer said the case would be a step toward revealing the truth behind 9/11.

Well, that settles things then…… It’s all George W. Bush’s fault because of his father causing global warming allowing Haliburton and Blackwater to profit. So now, all civilian-owned guns must be seized in order to prevent Israel from attacking the peace-loving Iranian new-kew-lahr program.
That about sums it up, yes ?
Oh wait…… I forgot to include something……. “It’s for the children”.
Cheers !

Report from scene at the Pentagon:
Quote: ” . . .The man was calm as he approached the officers at the main entrance around 6:40 p.m., Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevil said at a news conference. The officers asked to see his pass to enter the building; he started shooting without saying a word. . .”
Going back to GWP’s link to Detoxicon you’ll find a thread with a previous arrest of this suspect (marijuana activist) from 2006 with a similar description:
“. . .Bedell stood there staring at Detective Anderson.” “Bedell just stood there in the doorway refusing to move or even acknowledge that he was being spoken to.” “Bedell acted as if he did not even hear what was being said to him. . .”
“Hothead”, “pothead” which probably ‘left’ (pun intended) JP Bedell “braindead” long before the incident at the Pentagon.
Thank heavens the injured will be o’k.
Andreas K. commented:
I hope the officers will be fine.
Not going to shed even one single tear over the terrorist.
William Teach commented:
I love how Charles tries to to insinuate that Bedell is a right wing crazy, which sent his 10 commenters and all their sock puppet personalities into a frenzy of right wing blame.

Not to pick your nit, but the Pentagon be located cross da river in Va.
Sarcasm well taken, though.
NC Cop commented:
No doubt that Olbermann, Maddow, Matthews, and the rest of the left wing media will condemn the attacks that have been stirred up by the violent left. Right?
Oh, that’s right. Only when they can pin it on a conservative do they do that.
What was I thinking?
Marsh commented:
Thief in Chief’s best friend Billy Ayers would be proud.
Callipygian1 commented:
“Never let an opportunity go to waste”… a local radio host stated just a few minutes ago that by noon, JP Sedell will be labeled a Tea Bagger. I disagree, since we can play their game right now… He is in fact, A close friend and associate of Van Jones. According to the press:
>He is from California
>He is well-educated
>He is well dressed
>Like Van Jones, he is also a truther
True? Maybe… but let THEM deny it.
Charles Mochael Couch commented:
Wow, how “lucky” for the police state. Couldn’t have come at a better time what with all the crazies wanting actual trials with actual evidence for KSM. If they weren’t so “lucky” the Illuminati Bankster Government Puppets might have actually falsified such an event for the manipulation of the masses.
Oh, and what a marvelous piece of journalism to get all the useful facts overnight like that. And finding that Toyota at the local mall right away. He only shot at the cops who killed him? Such a neat little domestic terror attack by those crazy 9/11 Truth people that ask all those embarrassing thoughtful questions.
And at the Pentagon where all the truth is found, like 757′s that can fit through 16ft holes, fail to be captured on dozens of cameras, crash into buildings without breaking windows and disappear.
