Robert sends us a link to Oklahoma’s News9<\/a> which tells the story of Devin Rogers who took 3 hostages in a Norman, OK law office last week. New9 says he was a veteran;<\/p>\n

Rogers is currently being held on complaints of kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm and using a weapon in commission of a felony. Norman Police say Rogers had a California license in his possession at the time of his arrest and they are reasonably certain he is who he says he is.<\/p>\n

News 9 checked and learned Rogers is from the Los Angeles area, has no criminal background, and trained at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, that may be true, but they did a follow up story<\/a> and talked to his former room mate;<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t imagine how he must’ve felt going through that traumatic experience in Afghanistan, being captured, watching your whole squad die in front of your eyes and him being strangled,\u201d Lopaka Kauakahi said.<\/p>\n

Devin Rogers is a marked man, now a criminal, but his friends say he was once a decorated prisoner of war, forever bearing the scars on his neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose scars were from when he was in Afghanistan. He was a prisoner of war,\u201d Kauakahi said. \u201cHe said there were like six other people, seven other people. The only thing about it is he ended up being the only one making it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Those who know Rogers claim he is a very decorated war veteran and spent 10 years in the army in three tours of duty, and it was his last one where he ended up getting captured and tortured. However, back at home they said he had no enemies and was a courteous, gentle man, not a kidnapping gunman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, now he is a kidnapping gunman. He wasn’t a prisoner of war in Afghanistan. DPMO doesn’t list any POWs from Afghanistan, but we all know the name of the only American serviceman to be held by the enemy in Afghanistan – Bowe Bergdahl. So unless Bowe changed his name to Devin Rogers, Rogers was lying to his former room mate – you know, the first time that ever happened, so good job, there, News 9. Anyone with two working brain cells could have figured that one out. So, at this point, I doubt he even served given the research abilities of New 9. <\/p>\n

There is a Devin Rogers in the Army, but it’s not this guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
