They can't be sure who it is, the reason they suspect this guy, is because he has vanished from his home and family. I think that's a pretty good reason to suspect him. At least need to question him.

[agrandis]

That scares me because I own a .223, and a very vile girl I once knew knows I own it, and is very capable, just to be spiteful, of telling the 'thorities *I* could do this. At least I have an alibi, but being harrassed would be a waste of time in a busy schedule. That WOULD be interesting if that was the reason they looked for this guy.

Do I need to post the tinfoil beanie link? ;~D

What makes you think that it would be a "militia type"? They don't go around killing people. They're prepared for defense if the government oversteps their bounds.

However, you'll notice how the media (It appears that they've got to you) is too quick to pin this on a "militia type". If it said that this individual committed the crime, then he should be punished. However, given OKC, Ruby Ridge, Waco, I wouldn't doubt it if this man didn't commit these crimes, unless he was working with the federal government. If they can do it at Waco and Ruby Ridge, who's to say that it won't be done elsewhere?

Well, the best hope for catching this/these guys is someone who knows them.... I have a truck... and a friend that has a van.... I wouldn't worry if that is all she has on ya.

One thing we can be sure of: he listens to TALK RADIO.

While reading the Bible. The horror!

[HairOfTheDog]

You are right.... militia type has come to mean tattooed cammo-wearin'-freaky-fringe-type-guy to the media. What should we call them, we know who they mean. What is a better descriptor?

I can't parse your second point. And I really tried.

[HairOfTheDog]

He's putting gas in their cars???

Yeah! - You'd think SOMEONE would have spotted him doing that! LOL! You got me.

[FreedomFriend]

You know good and well that they're a bunch of liars, and that they'll do anything to destroy America.

Many of these anti-second amendment rights individuals have an evil agenda.

Regarding the second point, I stated that the government has killed American citizens before, what would stop them from doing it again?

[agrandis]

Yeah - I'm not blaming the cops for taking a tip like that serious. I know that is often their best bet.

NOT A SUSPECT per Chief Moose, live on Geraldo just now. See the live thread.

Not a suspect but in custody?

If he's not a suspect, then they owe him an apology. Just like Richard Jewell.

[agrandis]

Glad you got a ense of humor. I love exploiting grammatically awkward wordings.

You know good and well that they're a bunch of liars, and that they'll do anything to destroy America.

Who is "they"?

Many of these anti-second amendment rights individuals have an evil agenda.

Most people are in the squishy middle on gun issues, and can be swayed. They are the voters, they are the majority. I don't care about convincing their leaders. We aren't gonna get Sarah Brady to change her mind, but we can reach people. Your average Joe, even a gun-control-leaning Joe, does not think he is evil for believing that, so you are gonna lose him right at the start. It isn't that hard to present our side without turning people off. Really.

Regarding the second point, I stated that the government has killed American citizens before, what would stop them from doing it again?

Wow. Nevermind.... I didn't realize you were so far out there when I started this response. I have no response to that.

Baker was described as a drug user affiliated with various militia and white supremacist groups

Am I to assume the all the victims were of persons of color?

Anybody know?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Doesn't it boggle the mind how quickly the media will latch to the "whitey did it" mantra, but how far they will go to not mention the ethnicity of a perp if it is non-white, or gasp a Muslim?

Yep. Only whites can be oppressors. All others are "protected classes" (i.e. victims of white oppression).

"...We are dang lucky it is a rifle and not a handgun... handguns would be easier to grab than deer rifles, relax!..."

You appear to be unaware of the recent big push to ban 50 caliber "sniper rifles." Anyone familiar with this big push becomes extra alert when the media starts talking a lot about "sniper rifles."

You relax at your peril.

[HairOfTheDog]

Respond about the details and miss my main point in the rest of the paragraph? We are on the same side (I think), but my style is different. That's all.

[Who is John Galt?]

"We are dang lucky it is a rifle and not a handgun... handguns would be easier to grab than deer rifles, relax!"

I hate to say it, but the murder weapon could very well be a handgun. I once owned a scoped TC Contender chambered in .222 Remington, and that handgun is also available in .223 Remington (not that any law enforcement 'expert' in the country could necesarily tell the difference between the two, on the basis of forensic evidence)...

howdy,


shooter-military-hunter.....now then, who seriously hunts with a 223?


andisn't this an interesting little connection...
..or meme, as i would understand the term.......

i heard a cnn reporter wailing that "the community is full of fear, more so than after 9-11"...she seemed very sincere.....ooooooo.

i heard a putative chief of police plead that the shooter surrender and "stop the madness..oooo oooo

...

in disgust i reached for the radio knob..there was NO mention of outrage, or anger, just that "everyone is afraid"

the police chief did NOT say, "we will get you and hang you" ....just please surrender....


again...it is right before our eyes.....should we chose to see.
