The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department and the UCSB Police Department announced Wednesday that a man taken into custody in Isla Vista on Tuesday evening is believed to be the person who sparked a lockdown and floor-to-floor search of South Hall on the UCSB campus on Monday.

UCSB police officers responded Tuesday to calls of a suspicious person at various locations on campus.

About 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, UCSB police and a sheriff’s deputy responded to a report of a suspicious man outside a UCSB sorority house in Isla Vista. The man was identified as the suspect involved in the South Hall incident.

Officials determined that the man did not have lawful business on the property, and he was issued a citation for prowling. Because of his comments and demeanor, Santa Barbara County Crisis & Recovery Emergency Services was contacted, and the man, who is a UCSB student, was transported to its facilities for psychiatric evaluation.

Police said that because he is being treated as a psychiatric patient, and has not been arrested, he will not be identified by name.

Meanwhile, campus officials announced that the UCSB Alert emergency notification system delivered more than 270,000 messages to e-mail accounts on Monday, and more than 130,000 messages were delivered to cell phones. Several messages related to the event were sent. The UCSB Alert system now has more than 30,000 subscribers, and campus officials said there has been an increase in subscribers since Monday’s incident.

Having contemplated various engineered strategies and tactics for completely destroying the UCSB abomination, I observe with interest the quality of the response local law enforcement makes to increasingly frequent “man with gun” calls at schools.  The recent San Marcos High and UCSB incidents have provided an abundance of citizen descriptive narrative and photographs that reveal woeful shortcomings in the performance of law enforcement agencies. Especially at UCSB. 

First, UCSB is an unaccountable, unacceptable, unethical and unelected criminal mafia organization that should not receive the protection of any law enforcement until they demonstrate responsibility for their crimes and accountability is restored as a requirement of its leadership. All UCSB police should refuse exploitation as unaccountable mafia muscle and immediately resign.  All other agencies accountable to elected officials should refuse to respond to any UCSB mafia protection call until the warrant is received to arrest the criminal controllers of the university.  Any authoritative demands placed on outside law enforcement agencies to respond to UCSB should be met with immediate resignation unless accountability by the criminal UCSB mafia organization is forthcoming.

Second, revealed by their blatant disregard of UCSB’s clear collaboration with the murders and cover-up of high 9/11 crimes, law enforcement should understand that many of the students attending UCSB have been sent by corrupted parents with the distinct hope that a Virginia Tech-style massacre will take place. Most UCSB students represent the degraded dregs of spoiled, shallow sots and sluts of California’s most solipsistic spawn and the best many of their devious culpable parents can hope for is a fortuitous return on investment with any State financial settlement paid to families of victims. It’s difficult to believe that any parent of a UCSB student would still be ignorant of UCSB’s most disgraceful and wretched treasonous participation and cooperation in the homicides of 9/11. For a parent to condone the shameful stain on their son or daughter from attending UCSB is probable proof that they find their odious offspring expendable.

Third, for a very high up front price, my services as a consultant to law enforcement are available on the condition that UCSB be restored to accountability to the Citizens of California. Law enforcement has a distinct lack of imagination, fails to appreciate the creative lethal power of potential opponents as clearly demonstrated by its recent under equipped, sitting duck, impotent posturing by first responders, and fails to understand the post-911 transformation of the average American male psyche into the most extreme nihilistic condition expected in a once-beloved country traumatically revealed as nothing more than a murderously absurd Zionist-controlled simulacrum.
