In Bethesda, Mary Patterson said as she leaving home for a hair appointment: "I'm not afraid. After all, I'm 81 years old - my time could be anytime."
Gotta love her for that comment.

"Police pulled over white vans Friday and plastered orange stickers on the back to show the vehicles had been checked."
Nice of them to advertise this pertinent bit of info.

There is a gun collection being auctioned near here next Saturday. It looks like over 75 various long guns/shotguns. Everything from 30-06 to .243 to a double barreled Daisy BB gun (I have never seen one of those). I wonder if the ATF will be present? It is the same weekend as the Knob Creek Machinegun shoot so there will be plenty in the area.

We should be encouraging the populace to be armed. An armed populace is the first line of defense in homeland security. Armed victims and bystanders make terrorists "jobs" much more difficult. Israel has had considerable success in stopping many terrorists incidents as they start. We should be encouraging the same. It is not hard to notice that these shootings occured in "Gun Free" danger zones.
The second amendment is the original homeland defense system.

"We implore him to surrender"
Right.. I am sure your do, because you can't catch this sick bas**rd! I often shudder to think what 10 or 20 terrorist snipers could do in the US if they wanted.
Chief Moose, what you need to do is figure out how to handle a threat like this and make use of your civillian reasources. You need more eyes on the ground and a plan.

I have a complementary copy of a software program called
Ad-Aware. Everytime I visit the Drudge site, I get a "cookie," which my Ad-Aware software flags. The file is as follows:
C:\windows\cookies\MY HARDDRIVE NAME\@fastclick[1].txt
The file remains on my PC until I remove it. I was told that Ad-Aware flags hidden add related files that could be broadcasting information from my PC. I wonder if this is an accurate accessment, or if Ad-Aware is just another program to fascinate computer dummies like me.
To: SLB
I heard from one source that the perp(s) are supposed to be Hispanic, but why couldn't they be Arabic? Isn't this the type of activity to expect from terrorists?

Chief Moose....as long as he is heading it up, they will NOT find them.
He couldn't find a crack dealer in NE Portland if one walked up to Moose to turn himself in!!

"I was petrified to even go to the store last night," Saez said. "My kids were scared. They didn't even want to go outside. They're more scared now than on September 11." If this is terrorism, then mission accomplished.

"We implore him to surrender, stop this madness," Moose said.I'm sure the sniper will take this advice and surrender immediately.
What the hell do they put in the water in Maryland!

I heard some "expert" on Fox news last night saying that the shooter has Guns and Ammo magazines in his place of residents and that the ppolice should question every gun owner in Montgomery County..
I've been told that what you read, may put you in prison one day, even if it is legal...

I heard from one source that the perp(s) are supposed to be Hispanic..."We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatamela, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take five to ten million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans.
-- Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister, as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985.

In Dallas, El Paso, and Houston, we kill 'em back, whoever they are.
Might explain why they're up around that bastion of gun control, Washington DC.
I guess I'll have to add my rifle to my vehicle accessories list.

We in the US are in a safety trough between bimodal points of perceived "safety" -- 100% civilian gun ownership ban (like Japan) and 100% civilian gun ownership (like Kennesaw, Georgia). The point we are in now is naturally unstable. People lack the training to know where a shot comes from and what to do (contrast this with the situation in 1963, when people were hitting the deck the moment they heard a shot, and afterwards knew where it came from, near the Grassy Knoll in Dallas). Of course, the far better stable point is everyone owning and familiar with guns.
To all this I would consider adding, in this case, possessing and willing to use a bulletproof vest.
