I wish they would let us leave but I know why they won’t. He might leave with us.

Drudge is probably looking for some good news about The Beast’s campaign. He seems to love Hillary.

... it was 2.5 to 2.75 hours between the shootings.

That's a point they have been bringing up on the networks. If it was not related... one hell of a coincidence. If it was one shooter, he/she had much time to wander the campus and do God knows what.

NBC 10 reporter is saying that 7 total have been taken to area hospitals.

That may exclude persons receiving treatment for minor injuries.

April is historically a bad month. I’ve always found that strange. Wars stop & start, people go postal, etc. Must by something in the spring air.

Tax season.

Take this for whats its worth, its from a Hokie football site:

“Subject: Just talked to a good friend of mine who is a police officer
Posted by: HOKIEdad2005 on Mon Apr 16 2007 11:34:01 AM
Message:

He said the person arrested at the War Memorial is NOT a shooter.
One shooter has been caught but they know there is one more out
there and they think it was 2 at Norris Hall. He urged everyone to stay
inside.

He will keep getting me updates..... “

I always thought OKC and the other events had more to do with Patriots Day than Hitler.

Day of Battle of Lexington and Concord.

I pray that this number is wrong. I don’t have cable and turned on my local news. All they were blabbing about was the wind... big deal. It’s not even that windy here. I can’t believe they didn’t make a peep about this story.

Yup, you’re correct.

April 19 especially. Lexington green, Baltimore riots/mob attack of “Union” troops, etc.

Generally, Lincoln was killed, Titanic went down; and of course recently all this Waco/OK stuff.

All in this “teen” week. I only find out now that Hitler’s birthday is the 20th.

Just said something about letting some of the rescue or police folks go. Hope that’s a good sign.

Also could be something about Passover/Resurrection.
