DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Oct 31, 2012) - A new group of actors is now available nationwide for active shooter drills and mall shooting full-scale exercises, announced Visionbox, Denver's leading professional actors studio.
Visionbox Crisis Actors are trained in criminal and victim behavior, and bring intense realism to simulated mass casualty incidents in public places.
The actors' stage acting experience, ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary American theater, enables them to "stay in character" throughout an exercise, and improvise scenes of extreme stress while strictly following official exercise scenarios.
The actors regularly rehearse scenarios involving the Incident Command System and crisis communications, and appear in interactive training films produced in both 2D and stereoscopic 3D.
Producers Jennifer McCray-Rincon and John Simmons formed the group to demonstrate emerging security technologies, help first responders visualize life-saving procedures, and assist trainers in delivering superior hands-on crisis response training.
For example, with a large shopping center, the producers review all security camera views and design dramatic scenes specifically for existing camera angles, robotic camera sweeps, and manually-controlled camera moves.
The producers then work with the trainers to create a "prompt book" for the actors so that key scenario developments can be triggered throughout the mall shooting simulation, and caught on tape.
The actors can play the part of the shooters, mall employees, shoppers in the mall, shoppers who continue to arrive at the mall, media reporters and others rushing to the mall, and persons in motor vehicles around the mall.
Visionbox Crisis Actors can also play the role of citizens calling 911 or mall management, or posting comments on social media websites.
During the exercise, the producers use two-way radio to co-direct the Crisis Actors team from the mall dispatch center and at actors' locations.
Within this framework, the exercise can test the mall's monitoring and communications systems, the mall's safety plan including lockdown and evacuation procedures, the ability of first responders and the mall to coordinate an effective response, and their joint ability to respond to the media and information posted on the Internet.
Security camera footage is edited for after-action reports and future training.
Visionbox is a project of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center. Crisis Actors is a project of the Colorado Safety Task Force established by Colorado State Senator Steve King. . . Contact:. .

You know we can Assume all of these things, and try to piece together the information.
Wouldn't it be nice to have someone check all of the people involved (so called actors) and check their emails and correpondance for any incriminating evidence that would tie them to the above mentioned organizations.
It would be nice to put this to rest once and for all.

No not the same person hippie. I just cannot believe the tragic farce that they try to pull and most people believe it.
A lot going on behind the scenes though and also a lot of people dont buy it and are awake and aware enough to post vids.
We've been awake too long to have the wool pulled over our eyes.

Now this is interesting. The so called conspiracy theories have made 5 schools close due to the next target was named on the map after 'Sandy Hook' in the batman film.
Virginia School Closes After 'Dark Knight Rises' Shooting Rumor
Article containing conspiracy theory causes school officials to suspend classes as the sheriff says "We have to take this as serious information."
Students in Narrows, W. Va. are home from school today after an online article -- now inaccessible -- tied the name of their town to a map in The Dark Knight Rises that also shows the name "Sandy Hook." According to a local television station, an article on the Web site RevelationNow.net -- headlined โThe Next School Massacre Target?" -- caused officials in Giles County, Virginia to warn parents of the connection, then cancel classes in all five county schools on Wednesday. No specific threat had been made, but โwe have to take this as serious information,โ Giles County Sheriff Morgan Milliron told the CBS affiliate. Security has been increased, and schools will open again on Thursday. RevelationNow.net has been suspended by its Web hosting service.

...and if you ever needed anymore proof.
The Greenbergs are actors/stooges but are all either related or related thru marriage. The family is associated with a lot of hoax crime scenes.
The woman sitting with James Holmes during his court appearance (www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbuIiwv3lX4) is Jennifer Greenberg, the granddaughter of Maurice Greenberg, former CEO of AIG. She played Jennifer Sexton, the mother of Christina Taylor Green, who "died" in the 2011 Tuscon Shooting www.youtube.comwatch?v=AfScPPysADQ
Although her name isn't revealed by CNN, it definitely looks like her, and the "Nick Phelps" character looks a lot like her real life husband Richard Greenberg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc7glvJ1gEo

I just finished reading that kermie and all of it makes absolute sense. A guy like this did not have the intellectual capacity to pull it off. A set up and a big one, and definitely innocent children among the dead.
Which brings me to our neck of the woods, I believe quite a few people need to be brought to justice or dealt with one way or another. I see some death bed confessions being made before departing to see the big boss. And still Martin is rotting away in there for nothing.
I would love to be a multi multi millionaire to purchase military myself and pay them millions to track these guys down, get the truth on tape and film then depart them to their maker. Got get a hacker as well, a couple of hackers, need them too.
The world is full of total evil bastards................maybe I can be one too.

Here we go again! Does this sound familiar to anyone?
One Student Shot At California School; Suspected Gunman Arrested
At least two people were shot at a California high school this morning, ABC 23 is reporting.
The shooting was reported around 9 a.m. local time and the shooter was reportedly taken into custody about 20 minutes later.
The unnamed shooter was a student at the school who didn't show up for his morning class, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said in a press conference.
"He then interrupted the class halfway through it armed with a shotgun," Youngblood said.
The gunman shot a 16-year-old who was in the classroom at Taft Union High School in Taft, Calif. That student is now in critical condition at the hospital, Youngblood said.
Police believe the victim was an intended target.
The gunman tried to shoot a second student but an unnamed teacher and an unnamed campus supervisor began talking to the shooter and eventually convinced him to put the gun down.
The teacher received a minor wound to the head.
"When I talked to him this morning he was fine," Youngblood said of the teacher.
Police believe the second targeted student was also an intended victim.
"He had intended targets, there was no question," Youngblood said.
The suspect is in custody. When he was arrested he had "numerous rounds in his pockets," Youngblood said.
Reporters at the press conference repeatedly asked police if the suspect had been suspended from the school, citing reports from multiple parents that the gunman had a hit list. However, police would not confirm such details.
The shooting reportedly happened on the second floor of the high school's science building.
ABC 7 was the first to tweet the news, reporting that students were being evacuated from the school.
Students were evacuated to the school's football field, according to multiple sources.
ABC 23 reported it received phone calls from people hiding in closets inside the school.
Taft, Calif. is about two hours north of Los Angeles and about 40 miles southwest of Bakersfield.
The shooting in California comes almost one month after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Gunman Adam Lanza killed his mother, 20 students, and six teachers before fatally shooting himself.
Since the Dec. 14 shooting, at least 409 people were killed by guns.
Twitter users were outraged at the most recent incident and many called for major change.
Last year seemed filled with mass shootings, from the massacre at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater to the shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
There was also a shooting in August at a Baltimore-area high school. One student was shot and the gunman, also a student, was taken into custody.
While the rash of gun violence has prompted many to call for a complete overhaul of gun laws, the National Rifle Association proposed a radically different strategy the week after Newtown.
NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre suggested the best solution was to place armed guards in every school in the country.
But, according to The Huffington Post's Sam Stein, Taft High School does have a uniform deputy sheriff monitoring the campus throughout the day.
Youngblood confirmed there is normally a guard at the school but the guard wasn't there today because he was snowed in.
As 2013 kicked off, Vice President Joe Biden revealed Wednesday that President Barack Obama can take executive action in the fight against gun violence.
The last paragraph says it all......all done so Obama can now bring in Marshall law and reign in on the gun control.

We all remember this picture. It was said to be from a drill on another day.
Well after I enlarged this video from a helicoptor that day (around the 1:25 mark), I am confident that this pic is legit. Take notice of the cars (white one on the end) and the orange cones. They do match up. If you look there are two silver vehicles parked in front of the white van on end. They do match up. Later on in the vid when there is a close up of the car with tape around it, you can see the orange cones placed on the road.
The likelihood of these cars being parked identically more than one day is very very low.
We want the truth so just adding what I found.
Just proves pic was from that day. Nothing else.

Has anyone read this article in the Washington Post?
I read it and a couple of things jumped out at me.
First of all, why was the local firehall not notified with the 911 call. Here in Canada everyone (police,ambulance and fire) is notified on a call. Seems strange he heard all the sirens going by his hall and didn't know what was going on.
But here is the biggy for me.
Why were the ambulances not taking the dead out of the school? They are not considered dead until a doctor says so. A paramedic or ambulance drivers job is to get people to a hospital and work on them even if they think they are deceased. The statement that no one is coming out and to just leave the bodies in the school is totally bizarre. Think of the JFK assassination....they knew he was dead. Did they just pull over and put caution tape around his car? Of course not. They rushed him to hospital and tried to revive him.
Would not that be the reaction in a normal situation when children are found shot. Rush them to the hospital and try everything they could to help them.
Not here they just are standing around with nobody being pulled out.

Well Obviously there is reason for many angles of discussion, but honestly I think this kind of ill event is right on cue given the amount of pissed off people.
