AND the Bowie Health Center is closer than any of the fire stations so she got him to the hospital BEFORE any ambulance could have responded.

While intellectually what you say might make sense, I doubt I would see it that way if my child lay bleeding at my feet.

[kcvl]

That's EXACTLY what the LE on Fox News is saying. He is trying to stay one step in front of police. Cat & mouse game my *SS!

[ladyinred]

Exactly. Of course we know that this is the work of the Democrats again. We better get our priorities straight and fight this terrorism in this country as well as Iraq.
There is now a report that another shooting has possibly happened.

[mikegi]

Yep, if I knew there was any type of medical facility nearby I would definitely drive my daughter there. Any doctor would know more about immediate treatment than I would (how to stop the bleeding, etc.).

But maybe not a Muslim.

The cab driver was a Seventh-day Adventist, a Christian Protestant denomination.

[Jennifer in Florida]

Muslim extremist or not, I think this is "terrorism." Look what it is doing to the community. Just last night I was saying to my husband that if we lived up there, I wouldn't be sending the kids to school today. All weekend the police were on the TV saying how the schools are safe, even that they would be allowing outside recess today! Is there any REASON why this should be broadcast throughout the country?

[areafiftyone]

You have a point there. I can't believe the police don't have any IDEA what this guy looks like! There have to have been some people around who could have seen something. They had over 2000 calls the other day on their hotline and NOT ONE gave them any important info?

While intellectually what you say might make sense, I doubt I would see it that way if my child lay bleeding at my feet.

Oh I can't blame her. If there was a hospital close by I'd have done the same thing. I just hope he's okay.

[ET(end tyranny)]

It wouldn't even have to be nearby, if there were coordinated attacks in multiple cities that targeted schools,

That's NOT what I said. Reread my post. I specifically implied one city near your child's school, with multiple shootings. NOT multiple cities, just multiple shootings near your childs school.

Still no worry?

[spectre]

Really? And what military training or cultish devotion did the kids who shot up a few schools awhile back have? For that matter, what reason did they have?

The profilers on TV, for what it's worth, are leaning toward the "thrill" kill, rather than organized terrorist attacks..Cat and mouse.

It's all just profiling and speculation at this point.

The school doesn't want parents to pick their children up! Well, tough *hit! They are now at code BLUE.

Ahh--it was August 7th I was thinking of--that's the date that American soldiers set foot in Saudi Arabia (after the Kuwait invasion by Iraq)--this began OBL's rage at the infidel "desecration" of the land of Mecca and Medina

Home grown terrorists - would target government, politicians, LEOs, etc.
KKK/Nazi types - would target ethnic groups.
Snapped Nutball - lots of shots into a crowd, killing a bunch at once.
Serial Killer - Usually kills the same "type" of person, over and over again, like prostitutes, women who look similar.

This terrorist sniper fits none of these. The targets are varied, they are not government associated, and have no similarities.

Excelent analysis

[blau993]

Maryland issues CCW permits, but they are not easy to get. If our RAT Attorney General had his way, even the few that are now issued would become unavailable. He has publicly stated that he would like to see private ownership of handguns outlawed in Maryland. Our RAT Gubernatorial Candidate chooses her words more carefully, but few doubt that she shares his agenda.

"God" hit me, too but UBL did use it many times....but turn it a bit this time to "youths of dog"....I believe they use it "dogs" interchageably with infidels.

However, I really think UBL means the "terrorist trained" young students of radical Islam (call for suicide crews), not what is happening right now.

[harpseal]

Could it not also be a person or group of persons that want it to look like Islamic terrorists? As long as we are guessing....

One guess may be as good as another.

The school was right beside US 50. Its a freeway from New York Avenue in DC (practically the MD/DC border) to the Eastern Shore. Connects with the I-95/495 and I-295/MD 295. I-495 takes you right to Montgomery County, and is about 7 miles from the school.

That's what makes me think "Muslim terrorism." Just because there's no info. It seems as though they'd have more, doesn't it? Maybe not, but geeez. during rush hour there's got to be someone who saw something.
