So you spend 8 years building an elaborate endoftheworld survivalist bunker that will sustain you through the worst that could happen... and you kill your family (whom you would assume you were building it for to protect them) and then go there alone?

Quote:Washington Police Surround Bunker of Survivalist Suspected of Murdering His Family

Authorities are planning their next move today after they pumped tear gas into the hillside bunker of a survivalist who allegedly shot his wife and daughter in the head and set the family home on fire.

Three dozen SWAT officers hiked through rugged terrain and undergrowth near the Rattlesnake Ridge trail in the Cascade foothills of Washington Friday to reach the elaborate bunker where authorities believe Peter Keller, 41, is hiding.

Authorities have not seen Keller since they responded to a fire at his North Bend residence on Sunday.

Inside, responders found the bodies of Keller's wife, Lynnettee Keller, 41, and daughter Kaylene, 19.

Keller is believed to have spent eight years planning and building his bunker, as well as stockpiling food and supplies, police said.

SWAT officers told King County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Cindi West that photos of the bunker "don't do it justice."

"They said the fort appears to be amazingly fortified," she told the Associated Press.

After pumping tear gas into the bunker, authorities heard movement inside but did not enter the structure, which they believe could be booby-trapped.

They are just making an attempt to CONCOCT a psychological connection in people's minds between preppers and people who murder their family hence the amount of attention this will be given...

Interesting note for the record, City of Seattle SWAT teams have surrounded the bunker, which is about 30 miles from the Seattle city limits. It seems they are out of their jurisdiction, wonder how that works?

How does that work? Is this permitted under the law?

Who wants to bet they find out and mention, that he is a Ron Paul follower.

Methinks it would be a perfect MSM fit, no?

Oy. I don't know if I should believe official news reports anymore, but sometimes I gotta' take the stories at face value, and if I've been misled, then maybe I'll find out about it later (or not!).
Sounds pretty rough. This is another troubling trend I've seen reported on though (stand-offs between police and holed-up citizens). I guess if the guy killed his family, I don't really have sympathy for him, but again, sometimes the whole truth doesn't get out into the public arena...

So they use "circumstantial evidence" to concoct a BS storyline, that paints him as a lunatic with an overabundance of weapons, and a desire to survive the very thing that is happening to him?..

This stinks of intel operations...
