Corrupt Government Title: Apple Valley couple, child dead in apparent murder-suicide (made movie about FEMA agents spying on and killing hundreds of Americans -VIDEO) Apple Valley couple, child dead in apparent murder-suicide (made movie about FEMA agents spying on and killing hundreds of Americans-Video below) The bodies of David Crowley, his wife, Komel Crowley, and their 5-year-old daughter, Rani, were discovered in their home at 1051 Ramsdell Drive, Apple Valley, in an apparent murder-suicide. (Pioneer Press: Scott Takushi) A couple and their child were killed in an apparent murder-suicide in Apple Valley, police said Sunday. The three bodies were found Saturday in their rambler home on Ramsdell Drive, after Apple Valley police were called about 1 p.m. Police would not identify the victims Sunday. A neighbor who discovered the bodies said they were David Crowley; his wife, Komel; and their 5-year-old daughter, Rani. The neighbor, Collin Prochnow, said he had a passing acquaintance with the family. His wife, Judy, said, "Our grandkids would go over and play with their daughter." It isn't known exactly when the three died, but the Prochnows believe it was near Christmas. That's when they stopped seeing signs of life in the house. "I assumed they had gone somewhere for Christmas," said Collin Prochnow. The neighbors became suspicious last week when they noticed the same lights on in the home day and night. Collin Prochnow decided to check on them Saturday. As he approached the front door, he noticed Christmas presents sitting unopened on the doorstep. He peered into the house and saw three bodies and a handgun on the floor and then called police. According to police radio messages recorded by MnPoliceClips.com, police reported finding the "obviously deceased bodies" on the first floor of the home, along with a "very angry dog." "That dog looked thin, and he was already skinny to begin with," Prochnow said. According to David Crowley's LinkedIn profile, he served in the U.S. Army. "After five years I had had enough, and left to pursue filmmaking," the profile says. Crowley, who attended the Minnesota School of Business, wrote and directed a movie, "Gray State." The trailer for the film shows FEMA agents spying on and killing hundreds of Americans. The tagline for the film is "The Second American Revolution may not be remembered." YouTube videos show him promoting the film at several events, including at a Ron Paul rally in Florida in 2012. Twin Cities actor Charles Hubbell starred in the trailer for "Gray State," which appears to appeal to conspiracy theorists. Hubbell said he doesn't believe that Crowley, whom he described as efficient, disciplined, passionate and inspirational, believed fully in all the conspiracy theories of government takeover that make up his film. "When we talked about 'Gray State' I told him I'm not really into conspiracies," Hubbell said Sunday. "I told him I'm a Buddhist/atheist/tree-hugging liberal, and with a wink in his eye, he said, 'I'm just trying to get something out there.' He always had that wink in his eye. He told me he had found a niche, a target audience and could feed off that niche." The Crowley family would come to the Hubbell house for dinner and when they left at the end of the night, Hubbell said he and his wife would stand in the doorway watching the couple leave and say, "It's always great to have young, gorgeous people come to our house and look as happy as they are," Hubbell said. "They were gorgeous, and they had this happy and bubbly and talkative child." David and Komel Crowley met and married within three months, Hubbell said. The pair met in Texas, where Komel lived and where Crowley was stationed. They married shortly before Crowley deployed to Iraq. "They knew right away that they were a team and that their marriage was going to happen," Hubbell said. Crowley's LinkedIn profile shows he was in the military from June 2004 to August 2009 and was stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Germany, as well as Texas. After the couple moved to the Twin Cities, Komel, who was a registered dietitian, received a master's in public health in nutrition from the University of Minnesota in 2012, according to her website, www.mindbodydietitian.com. The Crowleys had talked to the Hubbells about moving to Los Angeles, where Komel could pursue a career as a dietitian and Crowley could work as a writer and filmmaker. Hubbell said he was "blindsided" and "shocked" by news of the deaths. "He seemed more grounded and focused than would lend itself to anything chaotic," Hubbell said. "The entire time I worked with him there was nothing aggressive or chaotic or strange or abnormal. He was one of the ones I was hanging my hat on, one who was going to succeed." Twin Cities director and filmmaker Paul von Stoetzel said that David Crowley and his colleagues were good people and had huge dreams for their film careers. Von Stoetzel had met with Crowley early on about possibly writing the script for "Gray State." Von Stoetzel said people liked and respected Crowley and his business partner, Mitch Heil, who ran a video production company with David Crowley and also co-owned with Crowley the Bullet Exchange, a company that trained actors to use weapons and military and police gear in film. Heil said Sunday he was "heartbroken" over the deaths. "He's been one of my best friends since high school," he said. He said the couple had a "great marriage." The two men were friends in high school and then joined the Army together. After basic training, they were stationed in different places but came back together again in the Twin Cities to form their actor-training company. Heil hadn't spoken to Crowley since September when they parted ways in business. He said it was normal for Crowley to hunker down to write and then surface several months later, so he didn't think it was odd that they hadn't spoken. Crowley was a charismatic leader and creative person, Heil said. "When it came to business stuff, he was the brains behind everything. I was just there assisting him to reach his vision." Although Crowley had met with people in California about getting "Gray State" made, nothing had panned out, Heil said. "He was a great person, a great friend," he said. Police didn't issue any other details about the crime. The investigation continues, with the help of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Dakota County sheriff's office.

David Crowley was a filmmaker, who wrote and directed a recent film about the militarization of the U.S. called "Gray State." Crowley appeared in an online program two years ago to promote the film, which has not been released. The film's website states a crowd funding campaign raised more than $60,000 to make the film. In a YouTube video, Crowley is credited as writer and director of a movie- in-progress, "Gray State." The trailer shows scenes of a militarized police force, much gun violence and some kind of citizen insurgency. The trailer solicits online donors to help finance the project. David Crowleys last entry on Facebook: changed his profile picture. November 9, 2014.
Thank you, I had read all the news stories you linked to me. Listed among the keywords he used are some interesting word associations: Why did David Crowley list Alex Jones and Infowars among the keywords?
I know, those were all the same story. In your own post, there was an extra space inserted in the URL you posted. This is a recurring problem on the forum, exactly as it was over at LP. But it is hard to replicate reliably. So I was just trying various combinations to see what trips the forum's trigger to insert that extra space. It appears to be strongly connected to the TEXTAREA having 80 columns and the attribute of WRAP=HARD. Not really a bug exactly. When the forum software was written, both IE and Netscape accepted this parameter. Over the years and through HTML 3, HTML 4 Transitional, HTML 4 Strict and now HTML 5, the browsers interpret these attributes differently. So now they stick a hard CR/LF at the end of a line instead of wrapping properly. That CR/LF shows up in your browser as an unwanted space, most often in the middle of a URL. I think it should be WRAP=SOFT instead. Not sure if that might make a different problem. There are four instances of TEXTAREAs using WRAP=HARD in the forum software (mailpost.cgi, postcomment.cgi, editcomment.cgi and the unused postmail.cgi). It's maddening how inconsistent this error is and how hard it is to reproduce. It seems this is due to the way CGI and repeated Previews affect the TEXTAREA. This is far from the first time I have spent time trying to find the exact cause of this little bug. No doubt, it worked fine years back but they changed the browsers over the years and created this bug. Frustrating! : )
Thanks, this has happened to a few times. When I could not get the link to work, I edited it just posted the html. Good find....
It's such a minor issue but it just bugs the crap out of me when I see it. The problem isn't lack of browser standards. It's that they keep changing the standards over the years. I think this is why Neil seems to hate HTML. Can't blame him. It really is frustrating.
I have noticed a number of things where HTML will not work here, but as you say it's so minor that I did not even mention it. I did a work around.
