About Brady Allen

by Erik on February 22, 2010

Brady Allen is a student at Colorado State University (CSU).  As the Collegian, CSU’s student newspaper, reports: When the schools weapons policy became the subject of heated debate, Allen became concerned about the accuracy of information on both sides, and set out to do his own research.  His quest for knowledge resulted in a 12 page report to the CSU System Board of Governors that details the factual inaccuracies of the International Association of Law Enforcement Administrators’ (IACLEA) report justifying the Board’s decision.

by Erik on February 19, 2010

It didn’t take long after Joe Stack’s suicide terror attack on a Texas IRS building before two distinct story lines began to emerge.  The first attempts to link Stack to the Tea Party movement and would have you believe he was one of those “right-wing extremists” Janet Incompetano was trying to warn us about.
