Hi neighbor. I was nervous about coming in on 23, but of course I wasn't going to let it stop me. The trip is necessary.

Should have known it was either a Hatfield or McCoy. ;)

"When I saw the picture I thought they had caught him. Where did they get the picture? McCoy huh? Go look in Ky. LOL"

The breaking clue for police that every vehicle that was shot was driven by someone named "Hatfield"....

NeverGore :^)

Hi girl. LOL. I guess a lot of them migrated north to the big city. I really shouldn't disparage either of these fine families. They were both hardy pioneer stock who didn't take kindly to being meddled with. Every family has a few black sheep, including my own.

"His name is Charles A. McCoy Jr., age 29. Doesn't look like they have him yet but hopefully by tomorrow morning they will."

I wonder if he'll commit suicide now that his name and pic are out there.

Shep on FoxNews just read off the vehicle plate id number, but I didn't catch it.

Maybe those in the area got it and will locate this guy. [Another trucker, maybe, like the one who discovered Muhammad and Malvo.]

I have been driving through Columbus on the outer belt every day for weeks now coming from Chillicother to Newark. WNKO and WHTH in Newark are beta testing my new software.

The guy was shooting from overpasses. He only used overpasses that had little traffic because he had to stop on the over pass and then shoot at the cars. There are a limited number of overpasses with little traffic. If he used one with traffic someone would get his car and license number. Mostly the shootings have been on the south side of Columbus. There are more little used overpasses on that side of the city. But one of them was east of Columbus near Newark. That is where I have been going every day for weeks.

I watch every over pass as I approach it. If a car was stopped on one you can bet I would do a U turn faster than you can say THAT IS ILLEGAL.

For quite some time, I have noticed that by nearly every overpass that is not heavily traveled there is either a cop car or a Sheriff parked where he could see the overpass bridge.

For some of the most recent shootings the shooter has outside of Columbus a few miles. I have also noted that both the Police and the TV station Choppers have been in the air a lot more than normal.

But it does make you think. The funny thing is the outer belt has been just as busy as ever. Perhaps like me the locals have just gotten over being afraid.

McCoy drives a dark green four-door 1999 Geo Metro with a black hood with license plate number CGV7387.

Where did they get the picture?

Looks like it could be his Department of Motor Vehicles 'mug shot'.

Hey Tator. Funny you should mention Newark. That is where the Freeper girls are going to have their next meeting. That is, if I can get them to settle on a date in April. Our meeting place is to be the Cherry Valley Lodge.

I think you are a little too worried about driving in Columbus.

You should be more scared about driving in Ohio with out of state plates. For some reason they attract cops to pull you over for speeding.

Everyone I know's been pulled over. Everytime I go through the state there's always a couple of people pulled over.

since he's obviously a white guy, supremist or similar, can we safely assume the real shooter or shooters are islamic terrorists a la cheif moose and the fbi crowd of last year?
