Eerie… With Camera Rolling, Polish Military Prosecutor Shoots Himself After Reporting on Mysterious Plane Crash That Killed President in Russia (Video)

In April 2010 Polish President Lech Kaczynski and scores of other senior Polish figures were killed in a mysterious plane crash in Russia. The Polish dignitaries were traveling to events marking the 70th anniversary of the massacre of thousands of Polish officers by Soviet secret police.

Poland’s former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski identified the bodies of his twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, and his sister-in-law, Maria after the crash. (Novinite)

Today Polish prosecutor Mikolaj Przybyl shot himself after news conference on the horrific plane crash that killed 96 Polish officials. Right before he shot himself he said this:

“During my entire service as a civilian and later military prosecutor, I have never brought shame to the Republic of Poland and I will protect the honour of an officer of the Polish armed forces and prosecution. Thank you, please give me a five-minute break, I need to rest.”

Then he shot himself in the head.

The Daily Mail reported:

A Polish prosecutor shot himself today in dramatic footage caught on film in his office after cutting short a news conference.

Moments earlier, he had defended a military investigation into leaks related to a plane crash that killed Poland’s president two years ago.

At the start of the conference at his office in Poznan, Colonel Mikolaj Przybyl said: ‘During my entire service as a civilian and later military prosecutor, I have never brought shame to the Republic of Poland and I will protect the honour of an officer of the Polish armed forces and prosecution.

‘Thank you, please give me a five-minute break, I need to rest,’ Przybyl said, as the reporters then leave the room.

With the camera still rolling, he walks across the floor and, just out of shot, a pistol can be heard being reloaded and then a gunshot sounded.

As he slumps to the ground, only his feet are in the frame.

He was immediately taken to hospital after reporters found him lying in a pool of blood.

Hospital director Leslaw Lenartowicz said Przybyl is in stable condition, conscious, and his life is not in danger. He added that Przybyl had suffered injuries to his face.

If this wasn’t staged, and it doesn’t seem that it was, then expect a torrent of new Polish jokes on incompetence,

Since this plane crashed in Russia, reports at the time said that russian officers were systematiclly going from body to body, with single gunshots being heard in the smoking debris. Other reports say that burning fuel ignited security agents sidearms in the wreckage. Ironiclly, The Polish President was there to honor those Polish Officers murdered by the Soviets in 1940 after the surrender of Poland to Hitler and Stalin. In Russia there are always 2 truths in every story.

it would seem that he has some knowledge of some official wrongdoings in regards to the ‘mysterious’ crash. if he does survive this suicide attempt, poland may be looking at a political expose that will rock its goverment.

Russia will never forget that the Katyn Massacre was proven to be their doing, so they will never countenance a Poland that doesn’t suck up to the Rodina as a proper former SSR like Byelorussia.

If this soldier had personal access to the victims and then inserted himself in the investigation….he was probably a Russian spy planting bomb to take the plane down….This is what John Boehner should have done months ago for selling us out and collaborating with the fascists and all the russian hard line communists agents who have infiltrated our government . It is time for the corrupt inept cowards to go and do it in a way that restores honor.

Poland needs a great deal of prayer – especially thanks to Obama’s part in all this – especially back when he let Russia know that he would not defend Poland from Russia.

What I gleaned from the report is that the military prosecutors probe into organized crime’s involvement in the acquisition of equipment for the army has come under suspicion. Also, the office has been accused of breaking the law while investigating the crash by seeking billing records and text messages from the media to find the source of the leaks coming out of the prosecutors office. I have to assume that he has been in charge of both investigations and the accusations, and who know what else, just became overwhelming. That’s just a theory, of course.

And Rose, you’re right. They need our prayers. Poland has suffered much for a very long time. I pray now she will be able to exist in peace.

Give it a few days. We’re likely to get information indicating that this guy was not the straight-shooter (pardon the pun) that he claimed to be.

Just like they massacred all those Poles after the war, the Russians killed off the Polish hierarchy.
As for this idiot, how do you miss shooting yourself? What did he do… put gun in mouth and then shoot sideways through his cheek?
That is like taking just enough sleeping pills and immediately calling an ambulance.

Fake. The video is cut and the dude who walks across the room is not the same guy that gave the interview. The first guy was chubby. The second guy is thin. Fake fake fake.

The gunshot to the head wasn’t lethal because the bullet got lodged in a piece of thick meat.

Instead of making stupid, tasteless jokes at the expense of a man far better than you, you might watch this short video. The cameraman was subsequently murdered. I think this has to do with the assassination of the Polish government early last year.
