Iowa Safety Drill Portrays Mock Shooter as 'Anti-Immigration' Pro-Gun Student


An emergency drill set to take place in an Iowa school Saturday is drawing outrage after organizers revealed the mock scenario involves an “anti-immigration” pro-gun student shooting dozens of students in a racially-motivated shooting spree.

Operation Closed Campus is designed to ensure school officials, emergency responders and support organizations are prepared in the event they face a school shooting, according to the Pottawattamie County Emergency Management Agency.

The agency, along with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program, distributed an exercise plan Wednesday to detail exactly how the drill -- to be held at Treynor High School and involving roughly 300 people, local police, hospitals and the Red Cross -- would be carried out.

Along with logistics, the exercise plan also details the fictitious backstory behind the mock shootings, which begins with the premise:
“In the past 6 months, the City of Treynor and Treynor Community School District has received a significant influx of minority residents,” causing “controversy regarding national immigration policies as well as racial tensions with a few embedded, typically silent, white supremacy affiliates.”

Based on those tensions, a white 18-year-old high school senior who “has been seen with anti-immigration demonstrators” and whose family “is known to be firearm enthusiasts, if not fanatics” starts a fight with a group of minority students “blurting racial slurs and that he is tired of them moving in and stealing jobs and money from Americans” then “pulls a handgun from his waistband, shooting one of the minority students.”

A 17-year-old friend of the shooter then joins him in "firing upon anyone in their path and chasing down anyone who is against their ill-perceived stand,” the plan says.

Critics say organizers are clearly using the drill as a way to portray gun owners and opponents of illegal immigration as terrorists.

"I believe it's politically motivated, it’s wrong and it’s a slap in the fact to any person that loves our country and is concerned about our border security," Robert Ussery, state director of Iowa Minutemen, a group against illegal immigration, told FoxNews.com. "We’re going to contact our legislators to put a stop to this."

Kevin Elwood, superintendent of Treynor Community Schools, told FoxNews.com he started receiving complaints from all over the Midwest after the plan went out.

“I’m getting a few emails today saying, ‘Are you crazy? Are you really doing this in school?’” Elwood said Thursday.

Elwood said he was as surprised as anyone to see the scenario in the Exercise Plan.

“It hadn’t been discussed at any previous meetings leading up to this event or any of the planning sessions we’ve had," he said.

In a follow-up memo distributed Wednesday afternoon, Doug Reed, the lead exercise planner for the county’s Emergency Management Agency, said the scenario was only constructed for the purpose of securing Department of Homeland Security Grant funding, which requires the drill simulate a terrorism scenario.

“This scenario and supporting suspect profiles are only in the plan in order to define this FICTITIOUS INCIDENT as a domestic terrorism event and to provide simulated intelligence that responding law enforcement would want and/or eventually request during the event,” Reed wrote. “There will be NO role-playing of racist protests, slander or hate crimes during the actual exercise … the only thing being exercised is the RESPONSE to a shooting, we are not exercising events leading up to the shooting.”
Reed added that the exercise and scenario have “nothing to do" with the continued political debate over immigration laws.

"There is no political party that was or is in charge of planning this exercise," he said. "This exercise has nothing to do with intimidating or preventing any American citizen their rights or liberties.”

But Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, said it “bothers” him even more that the federal government would encourage that kind of a scenario.
“They ought to be pushing for making it so that people who have concealed carry permits -- maybe teachers, principles, janitors -- can be armed,” Pratt told FoxNews.com. “Right now this would be a terribly inviting target because schools are -- stupidly -- a criminal-friendly zone and nobody would legally be able to protect themselves if something his horrendous were to happen.”

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment.

Elwood said he hopes the controversy surrounding the Exercise Scenario doesn’t compromise the exercise itself.

“We’re excited about this drill," he said. "We hope it’s not ruined by this one little one page-and-a-half that describes a scenario that really doesn’t apply to anything we’re doing.”

Eva Fisher, an administrative assistant at the Emergency Management Agency, said the drill's organizers were on a conference call Friday morning, but that she believed it was still set to take place as scheduled.

That's a hell of a specific fear to be addressing in this manner.

Personally, I am afraid of what will happen if our office is overrun by homophobic, radioactive penguins with switchblade knives. I'll have to see who within the organization I need to bring this concern to so that we can formulate and rehearse a response plan to deal with this threat.

Bureaucracy 101.

When selecting a racial, socioeconomic, or cultural group to stand in as the hypothetical bad guy, select the group least likely to actually respond with violence to the insult of being stereotyped.

******* retarded asshat liberal fucktarted bitch **** **** **** ****!

**** like this makes me want to pull a gun out and kill ******* for being so god damn retarded. It's a mother ******* EXERCISE meant so simulate a SCENARIO that could possibly occur in order TO VALIDATE THE READINESS OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE. Good ******* god, what the hell would these insolent morons say if we simulated a mass shooting by a "muslim" on a "military installation"??? OMG THE ******* WORLD IS ENDING!!! A god damn "anti-immigration" pro-gun student is absolutely the most politically correct "shooter" that anyone in the face of emergency management has EVER come up with, and they want to whine and complain about this bullshit!?!?!?!? I've worked with the Ohio EMA before, and agencies have to practice SOMEHOW.

****!

I heard this yesterday. Again, the Caucasian male conservative proves to be the biggest threat to America. Why not use the Ft. Hood shooting as an exercise...it was real, ya know.

One again we're making something out of nothing. We simulate these types of situations fairly often. The goal is to have EMS, Fire, and police work together, practicing skills, so that if something ever happens in their town, they are at least somewhat prepared, and have an idea of what kind of challenges will arise. The actual scenario is just an afterthought. Someone was tasked with coming up with a scenario that would qualify them for federal $$ to help defray the cost of the drill, and they picked something.

Usually its the tree huggers that whine, this time it's the gun guys. Jeeeze! Relax!

Ah, not with such a blatantly leftist bullcrap scenario. It's only pushing the left's agenda. The scenario only had to involve "people" who were "angry" and did whatever the agency wanted to train for. I'm usually one of the "just get the job done" types, but this plain smacks of political agenda from the left.

The bible says some pretty fucked up stuff too.
Deuteronomy 23:2:
"No one born of a forbidden union may enter the assembly of the Lord. Even to the tenth generation, none of his descendants may enter the assembly of the Lord.

Corinthians 14:34:
"Women should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says."

"Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ." (Ephesians 6:5)

"Slaves, obey your human masters in everything; don't work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord." (Colossians 3:22)

"Slaves are to be submissive to their masters in everything, and to be well-pleasing, not talking back ." (Titus 2:9)

"Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel. " (1 Peter 2:18)

For disobeying parents:
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21

More people who should get stoned until dead

Point being, some follow the Bible to the letter, some follow the Koran to the letter. The vast majority don't, so don't be an ignorant, you should know better.

The difference is you don't have Christan's blowing them selves up in the name of the Bible, Jesus, or God... Honestly there is fanatics on both ends of the spectrum, however, I don't see mass killings in this day by Christan fanatics.

muslims seem to love to die in the name of allah...(yes I didn't capitalize on purpose) They are the fastest growing religion and a true threat to sociality--in my opinion. Burn a bible in America, no big sweat...we burn their holly grail and they kill dozens. Funny how it works.

Your making some huge generalizations, your associating Wahhabi Islam with the rest of Islam.
The klu klux klan is/was a Christian organization, they exploited Christianity to spread a racist message, they killed thousands. I know you said "in this day" but you can not ignore the Crusades, do you think spilling the blood of innocent members of a different religion then appeased God? **** no. That idea is silly now to modern mainstream Christians, just like the idea of jihad being about blowing up non-Muslims is silly to modern mainstream Muslims.
Islam and Christianity have much more in common then you'd think:

The Holy Grail is a Christian symbol, not Islamic.

“That which you want for yourself, seek for mankind.”
-The Koran
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
-The Bible
You'd do well to follow the above.

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

Fools like me,who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep,for their beliefs
Do you kill on god's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased,no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near,it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to israel
It might be your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium,as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang,uphold the law
Up on my soapbox,a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holler
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of god

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks,repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die

They killed my wife,and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake|
Paid by the alliance,to slay all the giants
Next mistake...no more mistakes|

Fill the cracks in,with judicial granite
Because I don't say it,don't mean I ain't
Thinkin' it
Next thing you know,they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said,now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings

Religion was made to subdue the masses, and now it backfires.

People should really listen to George Carlin, and his revised commandments:

"Thou shalt always be honest, and faithful to the provider of thy nookie, and, thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than the one you pray to.

Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his ******' pocket, and I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment: Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself."

I never understood how people can believe in this bullshit.
Thank god they've removed the christian education from the Norwegian schools, now they just teach about the different religions. They no longer teach a specific religion.
How ******* stupid does a teacher look when he tells the tales of this dumbass book as if they were facts.
To be honest, the closest I am to a religion is Scientology, it carries more weight then any other.
Imho, aliens are more realistic then some supreme power getting BJ's from angels.

And yeah, let's have everyone working at schools carry concealed weapons. THAT will fix it!
