1/4/12 Ogden Shootings Update: Affidavit: Shooter Said He'd 'Go Out in a Blaze of Glory'

We'll continue to play the role of a news story aggregator and keep rounding up these stories and planting them on WCF's front page, however, so our readers won't have to hunt them down themselves

As a followup to yesterday's news, the Standard carries in its hard-copy edition front page an expanded story this morning, together with two interesting companion pieces which add background to the facts which continue to develop in the 1/4/12 Ogden Shootings case:
Although the latter story refers to a letter to the editor to the editor submitted to the Standard by "a small group of female Weber County Jail inmates" who offer "special praise for Jared Francom," weirdly enough the letter doesn't seem to be yet available for viewing on the S-E site.

And here's another interesting and timely background piece from the Salt Lake Tribune, wherein regular Trib contributor Joseph Campbell reveals that "board members of the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists sent a letter to Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Christine Durham asking court administrators to review rules governing access to search warrants."
"Journalists say warrant rules are too vague, leading judges to seal records for trivial reasons. The rules also make warrants nearly impossible to unseal," according to Nate Carlisle, Tribune crime reporter and SPJ board member.

We'll continue to play the role of a news story aggregator and keep rounding up these stories and planting them on WCF's front page, however, so our readers won't have to hunt them down themselves.

Update 1/14/12 8:15 a.m.: One sharp-eyed and alert regular WCF Reader who goes by the handle Howee took the trouble to send us a short email this morning, which includes a link to a KSL story and video on this topic:
Howee remarks that he "Can’t wait to hear both sides of the story," to which we'll offer our retort, "We couldn't be in more agreement."

Seems there had to be few clips handy for that 9mm

So as to the police claim that he had a bomb and was a terrorist, and that he had a 9mm, we now find that per the affidavit actually filed, none of these were true.

What does that make the odds than any of this is true?  This guy needs a good lawyer and a civil trial to take Weber County by the 'nads for what the police have done to him.

If the government can spend millions of these gestapo tactics, and a million dollars on their Kim Jong-Il funeral parade complete with forced mourners and masses of government hardware on display, then they can pay Matthew Stewart a million for the trouble they have caused this poor sick man.

I meant to say that the police claimed he had a AK-47, which we now find, he did not, along with the bomb that he also did not have.

Strange isn't, Danny, when the police STATE   POLITICAKAL FORCES COMPLETELY CONTROL THE MEDIA?
