Breaking on Fox :5 people shot to death in Montgomery Co, MD.

[Dallas]

It's at a School, is all I know.

Then you pick the upscale areas: Northwest D.C., Chevy Chase, Bethesda, Potomac.

[Semper Paratus]

If it's terrorism, why choose Montgomery County (and not the upscale parts of it either,) and not downtown D.C.?

What would terrorize more, violence in a city core or in the surburbs.

I bet surburban DC is plenty terrorized right now.

Then at 7:41 this morning, in the 1100 block of Rockville Pike, in Rockville, Demme said a Hispanic male operating a lawn mower was shot and killed...

Well this one at least makes sense to me. Sure it wasn't his neighbor?

[aristeides]

The shootings were all within a 1-mile radius, over a period of well over 12 hours, and the perps are still on the loose? What kind of lousy police work is that?

[tomkat]

'sides, if the bastards started shootin' in soccer mom territory,
they'd be liable to alienate a big part of their base ...

[Jack Black]

This tactic was in those videos CNN bought... Could you expand on what this means.

[Fred Mertz]

Very lousy police work. An informed public makes for safer neighborhoods.

[aristeides]

The places where these shootings occurred are soccer mom territory.

[LikeLight]

Anyone out there got a scanner? There has to be more info than in the pathetic news articles posted so far (no offense to the posters).

[GSWarrior]

Do we have any description of the killers?

The fact that in every report the killers are described as "two men" leads me to believe that we are dealing with brown-skinned individuals....if they were caucasian it would likely have been reported.

From the Al-Qaeda training manual...

Target location was shown as a 6 lane divided highway with the terrorist vehicle located just prior to the exit/cloverleaf (to allow multiple exfiltration routes and security overview.) There aren't any such highways in Afghanistan and damn few anywhere in the Middle East. In one iteration of this scenario the security/overwatch element was exercised firing on possible responding law enforcement officers.

Residential assassination. Innocuous looking person (weapon concealed) knocks on the door of a residence. Stands in view of the peephole and answers questions from the resident through a closed door, when the resident opens the door the terrorist draws and fires, emptying his weapon into the victim.

You're probably right that they're dark-skinned. But they might be either black or Middle Eastern (as well as various other possibilities). With the Montgomery Co. police saying they are unable to stop all white SUV's, you'd think that kind of information about the people inside might help to narrow the search.

[Joe Hadenuf]

if they were caucasian it would likely have been reported.

I tend to agree with that. I would also bet that who ever is doing the shooting is going to be caught in short order.

There must be mulitple witnesses in this area that can identify the perps and the vehicle.....

Hi, neighbor. I'm as pro-2A as they come, have several weapons of my own and the training and experience to go with them, but I have to say that, from the news reports, it sounds very unlikely that a victimn or bystander could have popped these drive-by goblins at a critical moment.

Maryland CCW laws indeed suck, and electing Ehrlich (R) governor next month will only be a start at best.

I uncovered (and I mean that nearly literally) on the MD legislature website a festering boil a few years back. It seems that the House of Lords in Annapolis were trying to develop and pass legislation to create an automatic shall-issue class of Marylanders -- which would consist of all sitting legislators (= Them). And the peasants (you and me, to name two) be damned.

This fecalith died in committee and never was mentioned once by any news organization. I called the NRA about this lapse and their excuse for not sounding the alarm (I'm not sure they even knew of this before I called them) was that Maryland NRA members were "not interested and proactive enough to justify" their activity in "The Free State."

Oh, and BTW/FYI/FWIW, ownership of protective vests by non-LEOs and other peasants is illegal in "Maryland! My Maryland!" in case you didn't know. But, as we clearly see here, "The Authorities" surely can and will protect all good peasants grovelling their fiefdoms.

Sleep well, and vote Republican -- early and often.....

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

until the perps are caught, wouldn't surprise me at all to see the media spin this against "wingnuts" some how.

[Dog]

Note the locations...I bet they are all near a major highways.....with multiple exit points....

[twigs]

Yes, we did hear that. However, at least some of these people appear to be Hispanic. If Muslims were attacking, don't you think they would go for whites? It's hard to say, though. I'm afraid anything is possible. And it is right outside of DC, which would probably be a target.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Oh the media is already hinting that this could be hate crimes of some type. They are pathetic.....

[Eastbound]

Bump for a REMEDY!
