I live near the HS Wells graduated from recently- huge memorial ceremony this past Tuesday. A close friend served with another of the guys that died. This one is debunked - two different people in the pictures.

Its not the same picture and not the same person... lol? Clearly you can see a difference in the face when you compare them side by side.

Seriously. They look similar but are clearly different people. It boggles my mind how quick people in this sub are to criticize and question any information provided by mainstream media, but will take something like this hook, line, and sinker just because it affirms the evil government narrative. Unless the government gave Larry a nose job, altered his ears, and gave him a new jaw bone, Skip isn't Larry.
The second one is even worse. There are 150 people listed in the white pages as Thomas J Sullivan, and 3,171 Thomas Sullivans in the country. Not exactly a rare name. Somehow that didn't warrant verifying that the J stood for Joseph as it did for the marine killed in 2009. A very brief google search shows the Chattanooga marine's father's name is Jeremiah though. I wonder if that could be what the J stands for. Admittedly just a guess. But the only proof needed is pictures of the two marines, which the video didn't bother doing. Probably because they look nothing alike and clearly are not the same person. Here is the one that died in 2009.

So I looked up tons of different websites trying to see if there was an error with this video... someone please prove this wrong... i don't want to believe this...
I'm looking for more list of Iraq casualties, and hes not on this one
http://antiwar.com/casualties/list.php
http://icasualties.org/iraq/fatalities.aspx
And a few other sites don't list this guys name.
Here is the website from the video: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/national/fallen/444/larry-wells/
This guy's name is larry wells but its the same picture...

They are clearly not the same picture, look when he compares them side by side, they are similar but def not the same. Plus lance vs skip so....

What surprises me most is not that this is happening but that they are such amateurs about it.

I really hope more people see this, I'm so tired of people being called crazy for shit like this.
It would be crazy, if this wasn't happening.

No, these Marines and Sailor have not been dead for five years. These men were known in the Chattanooga community, especially by the marines they worked with.

I really hate this autoassumption of a shooting being a hoax of some kind.
If these people have been dead since 2009 how come my brother's coworker had his brother be one of the ones shot dead? But i guess it's going to be easier to call me a shill or something like if i posted this back on that-site-which-shan't-be-named.
Also is it so beyond reason as to think these news sources just misreport who died? Fuck it,let's knee-jerk and shout HOAXXXXXX and FALSE FLAG at the first sign of shit.
This is just one of the youtubers who like to shout hoax to get more subs from the tinfoilers.
I believe in enough shit to be lumped into the tinfoiler category but jesus, some times bad shit just happens. Will it be co-opt'd for someone elses purpose? sure, probably. Doesn't make it a hoax.

ok i haven't done any research on this. AT ALL, but he did make a case for this being a hoax. it might not be, but if it was it would not surprise a soul who has eyes and chooses to look at today's world. There are so many documented lies and deception that have come from not only these news networks, but the very government that rules us. The power structure that controls every day life for most of the world has a LONG and RICH history of deceiving the people. so with that in mind you will excuse those of us who stick our noses up at ANYTHING the US of A puts in our faces. If Fox or CNN or MSMBC or a White House Correspondent all were shouting at me that the sky was blue, you know what I would do. I would walk outside and go fucking CHECK

I am aware of the history and frequency of lies from msm and tpbp. I honestly entertain hearing any theory regardless of how weird it sounds or unlikely it may be. Except flat earth,that shits bonkers.
Again,i only came in here to say my position. Proximity just tells me otherwise. But i'll withold final judgement til there isn't any doubt left.

...do you realize what sub you're in?
[–] Montresor ago
yes i do and i think it'd behoove us to try to be rational instead of reactionary in regards to things happening in the world. Just jumping to hoax at every shooting is only further detriment to people not taking us seriously in any capacity.
Go figure,i get downvotes for not towing the line.
So by this post and youtubers line of logic should i run up to this cowrker and say his brother's been dead for years and HOAXHOAXHOAX?
Fuck it. DIS SHIT IS HOAX. To say otherwise provokes them downvotes.
I foolishly hoped we could be better than 'that site' in regards to this reactionary bullshit from shitass YTers.
