-Lurid Crime Tales-
Atlanta Bus Hijacking - explained 10 different ways.
2024-06-13
[DuckDuckGo] How to expose the slanted media as it plays agendas.

Google / Duck-Duck "Atlanta Bus Hijacking".

Depending on the media sources you will read as many as 10 different tales of the incident. Each spinning its own narrative for agenda purposes.

However, having spoken to 1st Responders who were at the scene, here are some facts:

A Bipolar drug addict, off his mental meds, with a pistol boarded and Hi-Jacked an Atlanta - Gwinnett co. bus. A passenger attempted to take Joseph Eric Grier, the Hijacker, down. But Grier shot and killed the passenger.

Spike Strips were used and deflated 5 tires. Yet it continued to flee for many more miles. Lesson Learned: Spike Strips are useless against larger vehicles with tons of weight behind them.

The Bus hijacker rammed and caused about 2 Dozen car accidents with injuries, tying up police and 1st responders at each accident scene.

Eventually, DeKalb Police SWAT rammed the bus head on with a tactical vehicle hidden in a residential area waiting for it. Then Breached the bus door Delta-Force style and took the hijacker alive.

Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Ga Hwy Patrol (GSP) aka Gods Special People were all involved.

#9  There were 2 shooting on that day.
The Bus shooting was the second incident.
A man boarded a Gwinnett County Transit bus and shot a passenger before forcing the bus driver to lead police on a 45-minute chase across at least two counties. The bus was eventually stopped, and the hijacker was taken into custody. Unfortunately, the passenger who was shot died. No other passengers were injured.

Actually, a 1st responders I spoke with, said other passengers said he brought the gun on the bus. THE Passenger tried to disarm him and failed.

But I can understand how the LEFT ANTI GUN media would want play being armed was useless.

Either way the media is controlling the narrative 10 ways like I said.

#7  Happy travels, my dear.

And so the question becomes: How did he get his hands on a gun?

Abu Uluque, the same link as my comment above reported that he took the gun from the passenger who stood up to him, and turned it against its owner — one of the reasons regularly given by those against private gun ownership.

Thanks TW....
I totally agree.
I got ahead of the "released" data.
Leaving the area tonight, more later.

#5  According to one of the articles listed at NN2N1’s link, the miscreant has 19 prior arrests and diagnoses for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

And so the question becomes: How did he get his hands on a gun? Did any of the "10 different tales" explain that? Probably not a part of their agenda.

With my tin foil hat on, it's enough to make me wonder if this is just another disturbed individual who was programmed to do what he did and handed a gun to do it.

Removing the tin foil hat, it certainly does prove that we don't need more gun control laws, we need to enforce the laws that are already on the books, hold people accountable when a nut case like this one "slips through the cracks". But don't count on media or government to do that. It's not a part of their agenda.

#4  According to one of the articles listed at NN2N1’s link, the miscreant has 19 prior arrests and diagnoses for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. There is no indication he thought he was committing jihad, so I’m moving this to Page 3: Non-WoT. It’s definitely a lurid crime, though.

Nice summary plus original reporting, NN2N1.
