I agree. If we don't strike back, immediately, these terrorists will get the upper hand. I think that is the reason that the Middle-Eastern connection has been down played. We heard on Friday that they were looking for two Hispanic type men, who could have been Mid-Eastern, and after that, nothing, no description.

Now I do wonder, the child was 13, was his mother walking him into school? Do parents do that for a 13 year old? I think they do it when they think there is a serious danger that the child may be shot. This sniper is showing that, even then, he can shoot and get away with it.

Boy's in surgery, I thought Fox upgraded him to serious but I'll wait for the press conference by the doctors. It appears that Mom may have been a witness. Hopefully, she saw the shooter(s). She's probably in shock too though. I can't imagine the horror of what she went through this morning.

I hope it is terrorist related. The quicker this crap starts to happen the quicker it becomes open season on them.Yep.
In either case, the prayers should be that we catch the worthless SOB's ASAP...

but if this turns out to be terrorist related, and if it escalates or moves to other areas, I'm going to go gun shopping and I will carry concealed and I will teach my kids how to handle guns safely, how to shoot and protect themselvesGood for you! (the kids, too!) May I suggest clicking here and finding a nearby NRA class?
To: browardchad
Amen here, too.
To: WRhine
"The police have continually emphasized that the schools are safe since the beginning of the killing spree. Seems that the Evil SOB(s) involved here took a cue from this. As an ex-FBI profiler said today, the sniper is saying "In Your Face"." Yup. It may be time to get the media to help set up a situation. (false info, if you know what I mean.)

Of course this may not be the same bad guy/guys.......But at this point, the ensuing concern and panic will have the same effect.......
To: twyn1
Only if this is terrorism related, frightening and awful though that will be, will the libs and others wake up in this country and deal with the issues that need to be dealt with.

No real reason, but those guys rounded up in Oregon were into "target practice" that's how they had been training. You don't practice shooting if you're going to use a bomb or chemical weapon. Pretty interesting coincidence.
When were they arrested? Before the shootings started or after? Perhaps they were supposed to do the same thing on the west coast. Perhaps their arrest prevented a simultanous series of events?

LOL, when he stated, "I think it may be *disgrumbled* Michaels employees, I almost fell over...... I hope you're kidding.

I would have thought that anyone who frequents FR would recognise sarcasm when they see it, but I could be wrong.

Many NSA types live in Bowie? If so, they may get some interesting new tasking now.

Now I do wonder, the child was 13, was his mother walking him into school? Do parents do that for a 13 year old?Two answers - first, if you're concerned about your child's safety, then yes, and secondly, if you have business at the school at the same time (talking to a teacher, et. al.), then also the answer is yes. I've done the latter with both my school age children plenty of times. This didn't seem unusual to me.

I am not yet convinced that this is terroism. I still lean towards a Son of Sam or Zodiac type killer So do I. This has too many earmarks of a Zodiac Style killing. People were frightened to death when that killer was out and about. I also remember Son of Sam. People were afraid to be sitting in their cars when he was loose.
To: Judith Anne
Thank God the kid will be okay.
FOX said that the bullet hole is about the size of a coffee cup, that is one brave kid!
The Mom did the right thing IN THIS INSTANCE with the hospital being 1.5 miles away knowing the route and not probably having to move the child.
I don't think anyone would recommend doing that otherwise

Well, Jesus is in the Koran so maybe Michael is. I made a note. I bet the Koran is on the internet. I can do a search under Michael and see what happens unless someone else beats me to it. I have to get off the net for awhile. Fregards, FV
