Morning Peach.

my post from another thread:

Check out the Google result for "Dear Mr. Policeman" + "I am God": The whole page is quite interesting, but go to the 2 highlighted parts, both further down the thread. I think the perps are too smart to leave the police a message with stuff they wrote on the internet, so I'd assume the perps have been lurking on that site and got the idea for their message from the posts . They could be trying to set them up too...

**SNIP**

I've said all along "Dear Mr. Policeman: I know where you live, where your wife shops and where your kids go to school. Have a nice day!" ......

Do ya'll remember Detective Mark Fuhrman during the OJ Simpson trial? (He's the one who lied about saying the "N" word)...Remember what he said? "Out there I AM God!".... ALL cops think alike. Those who don't, quit.....

Fox news anchor asked another reporter if they'd read USA Today article that says a note was found at the Virginia shooting two days ago. Reporter responded she had not heard that. I get USA Today and will check the newspaper when it is delivered by mail later today, or when I have time to scroll through their web site.

Morning, George. Interesting google search. Hopefully it will be a quiet day today.

Good morning Peach, can I be added to your ping list?

As I have not read all the posts on this, I may have missed someone else offering this opinion.

Just 2 weeks ago, wasn't there was a massive Pro Pali(anti American) (near) riot? In my mind there is a great possibillity that this "Sniper" is someone who stayed behind when everyone else left.

Comments?

Del, consider it done.

The sniper is smart. After his spectacular debut he is down to killing one person every two days. This could go on for a while.

Does a wimpy state like Maryland even have a death penalty? Well it seems it does.

Having a death penalty on the books and acually using it are two very, very different things.

Does a wimpy state like Maryland even have a death penalty?

YES, but rarely enforced and often overturned on appeal.

USA Today article that says a note was found at the Virginia shooting two days ago

Now that's news! the perps are bound to unintentionally leave more clues to the police with that note.

BTW, did Furhman really said "Out there, I'm God" or is it an urban legend? It sure sounds like one....

[Elenya]

OOps shoud read : Did Furhman really say...

Too early...

[Peach]

That might be news - we'll have to check USA Today to see. I'd like to think the police would be able to hold something back to check out the nuts that come forward to "confess", without media interference. Will check out USA Today online later - have to leave for a while in about 15 minutes and there's so much to read on FR this morning!

[Peach]

I don't know if that's urban legend or not re Furhman.

Hi, Peach - thanks for the updates.....is there room on the ping list for one more? :) thanks

It's still raining around Maryland....parts south....a lot of soccer games scheduled for this weekend (Columbus Day Tournaments, regular games, etc.).

[Peach]

Hi, ZinGirl. Consider it done.

John Miller on GMA reported that at the latest shooting, police found a piece of paper with the words "I am". Police are trying to determine whether this was left by the shooter.

JPFO ALERT: OUR READERS COMMENT ON THE MARYLAND-DC SHOOTINGS

[Peach]

As reported late yesterday by another Freeper, the driver of the white Dodge Caravan who was seen leaving the scene two days ago has been cleared.

[Elenya]

Does it mean the next note will have "God" written on it? Weirder and weirder...
