I don't think the perp phoned in a call threatening the ADA.
Most likely a nutjob "piling on" to the hysteria.
Why didn't a phone trace at least give us an idea where the bad guy is?
Also, since this is an attack on the authorities, they may be going into hyperparonoid mode and "circling the wagons" to protect themselves.
This is a -very- dynamic situation. Expect lots of emotion and very bad information to be disseminated right now.
What if this were a five man cell of foreign troublemakers?
It's been what, -six- hours now?
OMG
According to mhking, who was driving near the courthouse when this occured, the shooting was at 9 AM EST. It's now almost 7 PM EST. That's 10 hours and Nichols is still at large.
Could I be the first to speculate (in the total absence of ANY supporting information) that he's a jail house conversion møøselimb?
If so, KEWL!
