It's story time.

The Dallas sniper fire shootings that occurred on July 7, 2016 really had me on
the edge of my seat. I began watching the live broadcast around 8:30pm.

When I began watching, the shooting was still a very active situation. The news
reporter was crouched down behind a car with a couple of police officers. All
I could think at this time was when will the heavy armored vehicles arrive from
the police state.

Within the next few hours, they arrive and you can see them on the live
broadcast. Insurgents with gunner positions on top were deployed to the area.
For those who are unfamiliar, an insurgent is a class of armored vehicle.

By 10:30pm, I was scared in my own apartment. All it would have taken for the
government to enforce martial law and detain everyone to their homes like they
did in Boston, was for the snipers to escape into the city away from Downtown
Dallas. Police already had the FAA ground all air traffic over Dallas, a
precedent that has never happened during an active shooting situation before.
With no air traffic and everyone detained to their homes until further notice,
this would have been all the government would have needed to strip us of our 2nd
and 4th amendment rights. A manhunt would have ensued that would have been worse
than the Boston Marathon shooting. The city would be locked down. Americans
would have to defend themselves against the government with either guns or
knives, both of which would have proven unsuccessful in light of the police
using a remote controlled bomb to murder the suspect.

It was at this point that all of this was going through my head at 10:30pm at
night. I called my parents to tell them that I was safe, but they weren't even
aware of the situation going on in Dallas. It was around this time that Facebook
also setup a safety check page for those in Dallas where I marked myself safe
there too. I fell asleep in my chair watching the live broadcast that night, not
knowing what would happen next.

This is real. What happened in Dallas on July 7th is a chilling effect. They did
not need to ground air traffic, it's never been needed before in the earlier
U.S. shootings. The next morning, after getting ready for work and heading out,
I finally stop at a red-light intersection and have a moment to grab some
thoughts. I do not believe that this is the end of what happened. Sure, the
situation is "fluid" during a shooting, but some of the facts are purposely
being skewed by police and media. Let me explain my reasoning a bit more.

What started in Downtown Dallas as a peaceful protest/rally, ended with sniper
fire. The protest was 100% peaceful start to finish. It is not unreasonable to
think then, that the government forced the hand, by realizing that no one was
aggressive during the protest, so last minute before everyone was dispersed,
they opened fire on their own to start this huge event. Police performing crowd
control were already in place during the rally. How did they miss the snipers
in place at the rally? Donald Trump was in Dallas only weeks before, and there
was no sniper fire then, nothing tragic happened, despite the huge number of
individuals who strongly dislike Trump, want him dead, and have even tried to
assassinate him already (Google it). How can the police handle a big situation
such as Trump but not a simple rally/protest? How is it that nothing happened
DURING or before the rally but only AFTER it was over?

Cheers all. I hope I've been informative or at least have given you something
to think about. America dodged a bullet so-to-speak simply by those snipers in
Downtown Dallas not escaping into the city.
