Apparently unarmed man arrested on Washington, D.C., street for stalking Vice President who wasn't even near the area

 

Suspect had been a drone operator discharged by the U.S. military several yeas ago  ---  and recently under treatment at the VA for mental health issues


Gun and ammunition found in car parked in a Washington, D.C., public parking garage about a fifteen minute drive from the place outside the VP's residence where the suspect had been detained by the Secret Service prior to his arrest by the DC Police


All of it is supposed to have been the result of a BOLO from Texas about a man experiencing "paranoid delusions"


On Wednesday, the U.S. Secret Service reported that a suspect named Paul Murray, 31, a former military drone operator, was detained by its uniformed officers on a street near the government complex that houses the U.S. Naval Observatory and the official residence of the Vice President of the United States.  

Murray was observed on Massachusetts Avenue which encircles the northeast quarter of the grounds that house the U.S. Naval Observatory and the official residence of the vice president;  and he was detained at that location by a uniformed detail of the Secret Service.  At the time, the official residence for the Vice President was unoccupied, because it is undergoing renovations. Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff currently are staying at Blair House near the White House.

Later, the Washington Metropolitan Police Department said that its officers arrested and charged Murray with carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition and possession of a large-capacity ammunition-feeding device.  Also according to the D.C. police, a rifle and ammunition were recovered from Murray's vehicle.​  

According to local news reporters and picked up in the national media, Paul Murray was charged with the weapons and ammunition offenses after he told the authorities that his car was parked in a garage several blocks away, and that it contained a semi-automatic rifle, over one hundred rounds of ammunition, and five 30-round magazines. 

Multiple reports indicated the arrest was sparked by an "intelligence bulletin that originated from Texas."  A Texas law enforcement bulletin said Murray had been experiencing "paranoid delusions" that the military or government wanted to kill him, and that he had sent his mother a text message saying he was in Washington and was going to "take care of his problem."  Local reports from Texas indicated that Paul Murray had many police involved incidents consistent with a person experiencing mental health problems.  

There is no explanation as to how Murray allegedly recently obtained an AR-15 rifle with a high capacity magazine.

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:59 AM"

THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ARREST OF PAUL MURRAY YESTERDAY MIGHT SEEM MUNDANE TO SOME --- AND IT MIGHT BE A GOOD JOB OF COORDINATED POLICE WORK FROM TEXAS TO WASHINGTON THAT HOPEFULLY GETS THE MAN THE HELP THAT HE NEEDS AND SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AFTER FOR SOME TIME

ON THE OTHER HAND, BOTH THE COMBINED MEDIA REPORTING AND WHAT SEEMS TO HAVE GONE DOWN WITH THE MURRAY'S ARREST >>> ACCORDING ALL THE REPORTING I'VE SEEN <<< SEEMS NOT QUITE RIGHT.....

I ONLY ASKED ONE QUESTION IN MY MAIN POST ABOVE: HOW DID THIS FELLOW WITH SUCH AN OBVIOUS AND WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES RECENTLY OBTAIN AN AR-15 AND FIVE (5) HIGH CAPCITY MAGAZINES.....

There are many more questionable and very problematic aspects of this real news story and how it's being reported.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "ADDITIONAL DETAILS" EDITION

THERE IS MUCH MORE HERE THAN MEETS THE EYE.....

A local TV station KBTX in Texas reported Paul Murray's most recent address was in Bryan, Texas, which is outside of College Station; and that Murray had attended Texas A&M University, where he was enrolled as a graduate student at Texas A&M. However, A&M University officials told the TV station that {au; Murray was not enrolled for the current semester.

Other reports indicated that the U.S. Army has confirmed that Paul Murray served in the U.S. Army from March 2010 to April 2014 as an unmanned drone pilot.

According to a San Antonio newspaper, on March 3rd, the College Station Police Department released an Intelligence Bulletin on Paul Murray after the Brazos County Sheriff's Department had conducted a "wellness check." At the time, Murray told officials he didn't want to hurt himself, but could hurt someone else "if it was justified," according to the widely spread bulletin.....

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "NEW CONGRESSIONAL PLAN FOR A $2 BILLION WALL AND OTHER SECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" EDITION


The security measures are expected to include some kind of permanent fence or wall around the Capitol, funding for additional officers to be added to the Capitol Police force, the purchase of improved emergency communications equipment, and additional and more varied weaponry. There will also be funding for enhanced protective equipment and procedures for the lawmakers jointly and severally.

Congressional leaders are in the process of crafting a $2 billion special funding bill to strengthen security at the U.S. Capitol in the wake of the January 6th insurrection.

The congressional security proposals haven't been finalized. The discussions and crafting of the legislation are incomplete, the total dollar amounts to be spent for each aspect of the program are still only approximations, and all of it is subject to change.

SHOW OF HANDS !!! WHO THINKS THAT IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT THIS STUFF WILL COST MORE THAN $3 BILLION, THAN THAT IT WILL COME IN UNDER $2 BILLION ?????

None of this matters since Nixon took us off the gold standard.

EXPLANATION OF A "FAILURE" TO BLOCK BOB: THE "METHOD TO OUR MADNESS" EDITION

TO/ ABOUT: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 1:07 AM"

WE LET THIS ONE BY BEER-CAN-IN-A-BROWN-BAG BOBBY BABY GET PUBLISHED, BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH LOW HANGING AND VERY DELICIOUS FRUIT >>> IT CONTAINS AN ADMISSION BY BOB CAPANO THAT HE "WALKED AWAY" FROM THE BROOKLYN GOP AND THE REST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER HIS HUMILIATING PERFORMANCES DURING THE 2017 GOP PRIMARY AND 2017 GENERAL ELECTION.....


Since Bob openly admits that he "... walked away from the GOP..." why would that GOP ever take him back ???

Not only did Bob Capano walk away from the Republican Party, he spent a couple of years actively undermining the Brooklyn GOP to benefit a "third party" in which Bob claimed to have been the Brooklyn County Chairman (something that he still proclaims unashamedly).....

Bob was chair of a party that has gone from irrelevant to non existent.

Liam controls the banner of a club that don’t exist no more. Only three other people voted with him for Mateo at the club meeting and no one else. He get preferred treatment here cause he’s the only one who stills feeds Gale bits and pieces.

Except for his personal demons, that are presently being controlled, Liam McCabe is a giant compared to Bob Capano, who is closer to resembling a Bambuti pygmy than a Bantu warrior. Politically, Liam recognizes realities that Bob dismisses out of hand with magical fantastical thinking. Even Craig Eaton, when he was more active locally, had long wished to have Liam McCabe on his side.

If Liam can keep his nose clean he could be a contender for city council in 2040

I saw Bob "last place" Capano talking to Vito "Coke is it" Bruno about supporting Curtis "the dropout" Sliwa. Word on the street is Curtis is forming a new party to secure a place on the ballot in November. The new party wont be called The Tea Party but may be the Brown Bag party.

Anonymous said...

If Curtis Sliwa is relying on Bon Capano and Vito Bruno for campaign advice he’s gonna have smooth sailing from here on out all the way to a last place finish in the primary. But if they start petitioning now for a new line they can play spoiler again like they did in 2017 and 2018. Curtis Bob and Vito maybe the party can be called the three stooges?

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "BOB CAPANO AT SIXES & SEVENS" EDITION

SOME MIGHT CALL IT "A FRENZY" --- WE PREFER SAYING BOB IS CAUGHT OUT BEING "AT SIXES AND SEVENS".....

IN THE PAST SIX HOURS BOB CAPANO HAS ATTEMPTED TO MAKE SEVEN "COMMENTS" ON THIS BLOG --- MOST OF IT IS JIBBERISH --- BUT SOME OF IT IS ROUTINE RECOGNIZABLE CAPANO STYLE LYING

AS FAR AS THIS BLOG IS CONCERNED --- HE'S STILL LIKE THE TREE FALLING IN A REMOTE FOREST SO FAR AWAY THAT NOBODY CAN HEAR HIM


Somethings never change. However, a little change of the jargon and patter might help to keep it fresh, like Bob's fruits and vegetables in his day job.....

Bob had no pull in Brooklyn when he lived here moved to Staten Island and came back still had no pull. Now he live upstate and want to be a player again. If he's serious about becoming deputy to the mayor he better start kissing democrat hinie because the operation he put together for Curtis is embarrassment this is publicity stunt perioud.
