Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

"The terrorists are demanding one thing - the end to the war in Chechnya

No problem. Let the hostages go and we'll shake hands and we'll forget the war and we'll all just get along. We will teach the world a lesson on how to solve the problem of war.

Laying land mines in the theater, I hope the poor souls are paying attention to where they are putting them. Prayers for these poor Russians trapped in there with the madmen.

I know - the lack of news coverage is kind of amazing. The thread that's been running on FR (link Below)has had far more information than any news outlet I've monitored. You would think that even without video footage, they could get some more information to us. [I know this got off topic, sorry]

Who is Don Abrams? What did he say? Also, when 'native' American, does that mean so-called "American Indian", or homeland-born Americans? Confusing.

They know who he is. They know he is Georges Radosavljevic.

For some reason, they think its in out best interest not to know what he looks like, or to "officially" release his name.

They can't release his name because they can't pronounce it!

MSNBC, sorry. I should have said Naturalized but then they are announcing it again, saying NATIVE American, hispanic orgin. Guessing it means the killer was born here and parents are Mexicans, or from somewhere in South America.

Crimeny! MSNBC just broke to my local Seattle news station with an overhead shot of two guys in a parking lot, with the words "Local Connection?" Talking about a search in Seattle related to the sniper. No information, no clue, no preparation, ,no research of what it is about, just live cams and off the cuff reactions of who don't have any idea what it is. Makes me crazy.
