When I read earlier about the DC shooter having told police he thought he was being pursued by multiple people who were beaming microwaves at him to keep him awake I just assumed it was something he explained to police during a traffic stop or other police-initiated conversation. Actually, he called the police to get them to do something about the (imaginary) microwave people. They just told him to avoid the microwave people, and then contacted Naval Station police. (the second report)
Strange story all around.

See the Rachel Maddow thread. A third cop sent the information to the Navy.

(68,644 posts)I'm glad they forwarded reports to the Navy.
But did the Navy then do anything with that information, if we know?
So many important things fall through the cracks.
Even 911 could have been prevented if people had paid attention to reports.

I remember reading that they tested their brains while schizophrenics reported hearing those kind of things and the same parts of the brain lit up when you DO hear things. Difficult disease.

(10,960 posts)is what I find most noteworthy here. He called the cops on his imaginary enemies. That is intense.
(I agree with your comment.)

It's called gang stalking. Makes people crazy.
Also, lots of mentally ill people think it's happening to them when it's not.

There's even a professional organization for it.

The world is a real place, rdharma. There are 7 billion people in the world, countless governments, powerful corporations, affiliations, consortiums, agencies, fraternities and a whole lot of stuff going on you've never come across before.
Yes. It's important to be skeptical. It's also important to consider the fact that no matter who you are, you are de facto living in a small reality bubble. By you, I also mean me.
Welcome to the information age. There's a lot of delusion and propaganda out there, no doubt. There's also a lot of fact coming to light that has existed outside the narrow information streams of the past.
Put on your thinking cap. Nobody's asking you to be an idiot.

Anyone that knows even a tiny bit about this occurrence can surely figure out who is being talked about, and who is doing the talking.
I have seen many redacted documents, both on the web and in my hands.
It appears no one made an effort to cover the A or the s - in fact, I believe they are being made purposely visible,
for what reason, I am not certain.
But it sure makes me suspicious as to the validity of these "documents".

(11,065 posts)They didn't do such a thorough job of redacting his name because everyone already knows what his name is. It's silly that they redacted his name at all since everyone already knows who it is. Why you think that somehow makes the documents suspicious is beyond me.
