YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP, EVEN IN YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION !!!!
THIS DAY STARTED OFF ROUTINELY ENOUGH FOR THE BLOGGER. THE BLOGGER LEFT HIS HOME AND PROCEEDED ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND HEADED TOWARD MEDINA FOR A SCHEDULED ROUTINE MEDICAL APPOINTMENT. NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT.
THE FIRST CLUE THAT SOMETHING WAS AMISS WAS THE FACT THAT TWO OHIO STATE TROOPERS FLEW PAST THE BLOGGER, LIGHTS AND SIRENS. THE BLOGGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THAT THESE TROOPERS WERE RESPONDING TO DUNKIN DONUTS FOR A FREE DONUT GIVEAWAY! ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT.
AS THE BLOGGER ARRIVED AT HIS MEDICAL APPOINTMENT, A FEW SHORT BLOCKS EAST OF MEDINA HOSPITAL ON ROUTE 18, THE BLOGGER RECEIVED A TEXT REPORTING THAT LOCAL "LAW ENFORCEMENT" WAS RESPONDING TO A REPORT OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER AT MEDINA HOSPITAL.
FUNNY THING ABOUT THAT, THE BLOGGER DID NOT HEAR ANY GUNSHOTS! HOW MANY SHOTS WERE FIRED BY THIS "ACTIVE SHOOTER?" HOW MANY WOUNDED? HOW MANY FATALLY INJURED?
NOW, THIS REPORT MAY HAVE BEEN ALARMING TO SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE QUALITY OF MEDINA COUNTY "LAW ENFORCEMENT." THE BLOGGER'S INITIAL RESPONSE TO THE TEXT WAS, "SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT TO ME!"
READERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE BLOGGER HAS HAD MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS OF FEDERAL REAL LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATING VIOLENT CRIMES, INCLUDING SHOOTINGS!
IN THE BLOGGER'S EXPERIENCE, AN INITIAL REPORT OF AN ALLEGED INCIDENT NEVER TURNS OUT TO HAVE BEEN ACCURATELY REPORTED AND NEVER TURNS OUT TO BE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE EXPECTED. PRUDENCE AND CAUTION ARE WARRANTED BEFORE CALLING OUT THE CAVALRY FOR A FULL-FLEDGED RESPONSE RESULTING IN ALARM AND INCONVENIENCE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
THAT IS A LESSON THAT HAS NEVER BEEN LEARNED HERE IN MEDINA COUNTY, AND LIKELY NEVER WILL.
AS THE BLOGGER SAT IN THE PHYSICIAN'S WAITING ROOM, HE CONTINUED TO HEAR THE WAILING OF SIRENS FROM THOSE "OFFICERS" WHO WERE LATE TO THE PARTY. THIS WAS GOING TO BE JUST A SUPER OPPORTUNITY TO WAVE AROUND ALL THOSE FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AND A DISPLAY OF BRAVADO FROM THE COMFORT AND SAFETY OF THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT, MUCH LIKE THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES IN FLORIDA WHO REFUSED TO ENTER A SCHOOL WHEN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER WAS THOUGHT TO BE INSIDE A SCHOOL, SHOOTING DEFENSELESS STUDENTS.
AS THE BLOGGER SAT IN THE PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE, HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT THIS MAJOR MEDINA COUNTY INCIDENT WAS GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE A BIG NOTHING.
SURE ENOUGH. THE BLOGGER RECEIVED ANOTHER TEXT REPORTING THAT LOCAL "LAW ENFORCEMENT" WAS NOW REVISING THEIR ALARM DOWNWARD AND WERE NOW REPORTING THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IN THE HOSPITAL.
WELL, THAT BIT OF INFORMATION CAME AS ABSOLUTELY NO SURPRISE TO THE BLOGGER AT ALL! THE BLOGGER HAD NO DOUBT THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ONE MORE KNEE-JERK OVERREACTION TO NOTHING. THE BLOGGER WAS RIGHT, AS IT TURNS OUT.
THE REVISED "ALERT" WAS CHANGED TO ALLEGE THAT THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH A GUN IN THE ADJACENT MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.
NOTICE THE CHANGE? NO LONGER WAS THIS AN "ACTIVE SHOOTER IN THE HOSPITAL," BUT WAS NOW SUDDENLY "A WOMAN WITH A GUN IN THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING."
THIS WHOLE LARGE-SCALE FIASCO WAS CLEARLY HEADED IN THE DIRECTION THE BLOGGER HAD ANTICIPATED FROM THE START.
OF COURSE, EVERYONE AND HIS BROTHER IN THE MEDINA COUNTY "LAW ENFORCEMENT" COMMUNITY TURNED OUT FOR THIS NON-EVENT. READERS CAN BE SURE THAT HINCKLEY CHIEF (F@@KUP) PINOCCHIO CENTNER(D) WAS THERE, OFFERING HIS EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE, GLEANED FROM HIS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A RADIO ROOM SUPERVISOR AND MEDINA COUNTY PARK RANGER.
OF COURSE, THE MEDINA COUNTY SHERIFF MUSTERED HIS TWAT TEAM JUST IN CASE ANY INNOCENT BYSTANDERS REQUIRED MANHANDLING AND INTIMIDATION. AFTER ALL, WHO IS GOING TO ARGUE WITH A MEDINA COUNTY MORON WITH A FULLY-AUTOMATIC WEAPON IN HIS HANDS?
FOLLOWING THE MEDICAL APPOINTMENT, THE BLOGGER HEADED HOME AND HEARD ON THE RADIO THE THE "ALL CLEAR" HAD BEEN DECLARED AT THE MEDINA HOSPITAL. THAT ANNOUNCEMENT CONFIRMED THE BLOGGER'S ASSESSMENT OF THIS NON-EVENT AND ACTUALLY EVOKED AN AUDIBLE LAUGH.
LATER, "LAW ENFORCERS, " WITH NO SUSPECT IDENTIFiED AND NO SUSPECT IN CUSTODY, DECLARED THAT THE REPORT WAS A "HOAX."
THAT IS MORE BULLSHIT, AND AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN AWAY, AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE, THIS EMBARRASSING "RESPONSE" TO A NON-EVENT.
THIS INAPPROPRIATE ACTIVITY TO THIS NON-EVENT WAS NO MORE THAN A "RESPONSE" TO AN UNFOUNDED COMPLAINT THAT WAS NEVER INVESTIGATED OR CORROBORATED BEFORE CALLING FOR AN ALL-OUT ASSAULT ON THE HOSPITAL BY THE "CAVALRY."
EVEN NOW, THE "BRAINS" BEHIND THIS "RESPONSE" HAVE GATHERED FOR DINNER AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE WHERE WELL-ROASTED CROW IS ON THE MENU, WITH A HEAPING HELPING OF HUMBLE PIE SERVED FOR DESSERT, ALL THE WHILE AS THEY COORDINATE THEIR NEXT PLANNED RESPONSE TO ANOTHER NON-EVENT.
A SAD REALITY PRESENTS ITSELF HERE. THESE "LAW ENFORCERS" ARE MORE THAN ACCOMPLISHED AT CREATING "CRIME" WHERE THERE IS NONE. TODAY'S RESPONSE TO A PURPORTED "ACTIVE SHOOTER" AT MEDINA HOSPITAL IS RIGHT ON POINT. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN PRESENTED WITH A REAL CRIME, LIKE THE HOMICIDE OF LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE BRYON MACRON, THEY ARE AT A COMPLETE LOSS.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO RIGHT THIS SHIP!
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!
