2 'Hispanics' sought in D.C.-area hunt: Be-on-lookout alert describes shooters' race

Drudge should post this old news tonight as a "flashback" to make it clear how Moose endangered D.C. residents by being PC about profiling

When profiling is OK

If we exported all the Mexicans, the Texas economy would collapse.

So are you saying that the area in Tacoma is a mexican neighborhood?
From the local news showing people going on to the lawn of the site today its a mixed white/black neighborhood.
I see NWCN (NorthWest Cable News) is running the story where they interview an ex military sniper saying that you shouldn't call this guy a sniper, rather a killer. Then they go back to calling him a sniper. They don't even watch their own broadcasts.

I believe the stump is still in the garage at the Lakewood police station, south of Tacoma.

A small college town. They have a web site for the town.

Pardon my ignorance, but where is Bellingham?

Not sure, but Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle nuked it in Footfall.

"Marion, Alabama is about 50 miles west of Montgomery, about 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa."

Isn't that where the ME terrorist training base was reported (here on FR) to be?....yes it was!!!

[ApesForEvolution]

Only if I get to go with!

[Professional]

Yes, we have tons of retired military. We have one of the best hospitals in the country for military. Madigan.

They said on the news that the person of interest, who lived in the home in Tacoma at one time was of hispanic descent, it didn't say if the entire neighborhood was hispanic, but from what I saw of the neighbors who were interviewed, it seemed to be a very diverse neighborhood, with most of the people interviewed being white, non hispanics.

[commish]

BINGO!!!!! That is where the TERRORIST CAMP WAS!!!!!!!

[kcvl]

Military bases
Gunter AFB - Maxwell AFB - CGATC Mobile - Redstone Arsenal - Other Military bases in Alabama

"Could those be the similar murders WMAL was talking about? Were they sniping-style murders?"

Yes, the whole family was gunned down...and the daughter and her boyfriend took off to places unknown!

[tinamina]

Al Fuqra - Are these the Muslims in America that have communes in CA (near Fresno), VA, NY, SC which are surrounded by Black Muslims?

[Palladin]

The people interviewed on Proctor Av. in Tacoma were a diverse group.....white, Pacific Islanders, Hispanic. So I would say it is a mixed neighborhood, like many in the Northwest.

Had an idea, which probably isn't true, but I'll throw it out.

The sniper's complaint regarding being hung-up upon, and the apparant recourse of another 5 deaths due to the lack of communication.

Some of us were considering conjecture of an AQ connection and multiple snipers.

I was wondering if it would be consistent if there were multiple sniper teams, partitoned, given prior guidance but not interconnected. They simply followed a round robin protocol on which team struck in order.

The sniper's muffled phonecall, might have been pre-recorded, a contrived conversation to throw off any investigation.

If any one team was suspected, another would hit and apparantly provide an alibi.

Some of the hits if I recall were stretching the travel distance/times. Also, at this pace, if an individual, then the sniper would simply be full time sniping. Not much time to get so prepared,...pssible, but questionable.

The thing that might throw people off is perhaps one of several teams thought they had an opportunity to distract or fulfill their mission by an out of the ordinary communication.

The perceived threat of another 5 or 20 hits as the alternative, might be 1 or four cycles in the round robin until that particular sniper has opportunity to control the cycle again.

Probably too complex, but just a thought, which didn't seem overtly invalid.

Of course this is nothing more than armchair quarterbacking from media information,...i.e. not too reliable.

[Alas Babylon!]

No, Marion was not where that whole family was shot. That happened MANY miles south of Marion. Down by Greenville.
