Who thinks the Shark attack was done by Bush Special OPs?
Edited on Wed Aug-20-03 12:51 PM by ThorsteinVeblen
Was the BFEE behind the Shark attack in California to distract from the chaos in Iraq?

Radio Controlled Shark?

Special Forces Shark?

Mercenary Shark hired by Brown & Root?

What was it?

1. Diversionary shark
Haul out the sharks and missing kids when you
want the sheep to look the other way.

2. I liked the SEA LION twist - "not sure its a shark - might be sea lion"
per talking heads last night.

First Sea Lion accusation I have ever heard!

5. Normally I don't go in for conspiracy theories,
but then I've never heard of a shark attack on a grassy knoll.

6. You've got it all wrong
There are shark attacks everyday. The only reason it's NOW being reported is because the BFEE told the media "Distract! Distract!"

9. Actually,
no, there aren't shark attacks every day. They really are a rather rare occurrence, especially one leading to a fatality.

It's also relatively rare along the California coast (thank Zeus, cuz I scuba dive here all the time.)

I don't see this story getting a whole lot of attention. But it's worth a mention on the news.

7. I doubt Brown and Root was involved
They're not in the business of hiring animals to do their dirty work--thats more of a Raytheon tactic. These were obviously militarized nuclear-powered sharks.

8. I vote yes
Just like they put brain implants in rats to control them by radio.

Quite obvious, really.

11. The victim had a name -- Deborah Franzman.
Franzman was someone's daughter, someone's friend, someone's teacher.
She died a horribly violent death. I'll leave it at that.

Autopsy: Great White Shark Killed Swimmer
August 20, 2003

A 50-year-old college instructor taking a morning swim bled to death after she was attacked by a great white shark 15 to 18 feet long, preliminary autopsy results showed today.

Deborah Franzman of Nipomo was killed Tuesday as she swam 75 yards offshore alongside a group of seals. Witnesses reported seeing a large fin as Franzman screamed for help.
<snip>
Franzman likely bled to death after her left femoral artery was severed in the attack...
<snip>
Franzman was a sociology instructor at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. She swam in the area by the Avila Beach Pier several times a week, friend Andrea Sanders said through tears.
