| SOCOM over Denver |
| 2008-06-18 |
| U.S. military Special Operations commandos will be conducting airborne counter-terrorism training from early afternoon until 11 p.m. through Friday night. Tuesday, two Blackhawk and two Little Bird helicopters were training at the old Children's Hospital in Denver, circling the building before landing on the roof and parking lot, then taking off again. Two Denver firetrucks and two Denver police cars were also on hand on Downing Street near the hospital. "It's a great opportunity to learn how a premier organization functions in this event," said Sonny Jackson, spokesman for Denver police. "The officers are soaking up the information like sponges." Couple of comments follow that are posted to the comments section of the online article - these peopela re seriously mentally ill. Or liberal (same thing) AngelontheSidelines writes: This is done to make citizens accustomed to military hardware, and martial law easier to accept. Don't accept it, Posse Commititus puts citizen protection under police authority. Blending police and military is what tin pot dictators do to control their population. schutz323 writes: This is just great...we now accept the military in our cities...the more we accept this the easier it will be for our government to imprison anyone it deems a "terrorist." We need to fight back NOW The_Punnisher writes: FOUR DEAD IN OHIO....says it all And of course the sneering ultraliberal projecting his problems bandelier writes: Nothing but a sheepish show of GW Bush "BOO" power. Remember, kiddies - Colorado is now in play in November. So the McStain department of justice has to wave their collective juevos over the voters to make 'em think twice before voting for someone who might not support the killing machine. Snore. Take your tiny-peckers elsewhere, nazi stains. You BORE me with your little boy games. And the Ron Paul tinhatters make an appearance too: mannaman writes: We are prepping you for MARTIAL LAW. What are you doing reading anyways, you should be watching the sports games like all the other mindless sheeple who have given up their liberty and freedom for a FALSE Security and who revel in being lied to. Franklin said that YOU deserve neither. So go and vote, doesnt matter to us in the CFR and bildaberg group who OWN both political parties! Yep, we got it all here in Colorado. Link goes to Slideshow - note slide 3 with the arrogant idiot Democrat Denverite. This Link goes to the article from which I picked the comments. |

| #12 Actually SOCOM says no - they had an identical set of exercises in Boston a little bit ago. They wanted to work near the sea and a harbor(Boston), and then in an arid high altitude climate (Denver). Gee, what nation has both those kinds of environments and modern cities... (Pakistan) |

| #10 ION RIAN > US PLANS [Euro Missle Shield-GMD/TMD] TO NEUTRALIZE RUSSIA's MISSLES 2012 -2015. Analyst IVASHOV - US desires to emplace BMD in UKRAINE + GEORGIA after these success join NATO. Argues that RUSSIA IS "WASTING TIME",+ SHOULD WARN THAT IN ANY US-RUSS MIL CONFRONTATION, ANY AND ALL NATIONS THAT SUPPOR US MISSLE SHIELD PLANS RISK THEIR NATIONS + INFRASTRUCTURE BEING TARGETED AND DESTROYED BY RUSSIAN NUCLEAR STRIKES. *IMO, also a SUBTLE WARNING that Russ should strike at CONUS-NORAM targets. |

| #9 It is a treat after dark to watch the 16's lift, pop the afterburner, and roar nearly straight up like a rocket into the dark sky. They don't do it often, but as I tell my son: that's freedom you are seeing and hearing. |

| #6 I suppose the Moonbats have some right to be concerned, in that 99.2% of the US military are Republicans. Which probably rises to 99.8% in SOCOM. Maybe it's those Karl Rove Brigade shoulder patches they find so disturbing. |

| #5 There is nothing like the sound of a J-52-408 at high power at twilight; the sound of freedom echoing off the tranquil Puget Sound waters as another day of freedom comes to an end. As so elquently stated by another airplanemaniac: "The smell of burnt JP makes me horny." |

| #3 That would be soooo cool. All we get here are helicopters and airplanes flying so high we can just hear them. I imagine they fly out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base up in Dayton... or the Blue Ash airport. ;-) |

| #2 Also a lot of the idiots are completely unaware that the 3/19 Special Forces is a Colorado National Guard unit. And that many of Denver metro area police department SWAT Teams have officers who are in the Colorado Guard in that SF unit. There is decent helicopter lift capability as well as SOCOM qualified pilots in the Guard at Buckley AFB, in addition to F-16's, just outside Denver (at Buckley AFB). I live near Buckley, so I get the privilege of seeing and hearing the F-16's doing their job. And the occasional F-15, C-17, C-5, and Canadian and Marine/Navy F/A-18s transiting, that use Buckley as a stop off top off point. They keep a low profile, which is why most of the Boulder hippies and Denver dumbasses don't realize they are there. |

| #1 Of course its not all loonies here in Colorado: Some people were thrilled to see choppers in action... Becky Alfrey watched in amazement as the whirlybirds whizzed by her 13th-floor flat, "darting in between the buildings downtown." "I waved at one of the copters and someone waved back!" she said, adding that the tethered, camouflaged commandos "were literally hanging half out of the helicopter." |
