Chief Moose said the shooter stepped over the line by shooting a child and that now it's personal. What was that about? Have they received communications from the shooter? Did they get a terror note or a ransom note or do they know something more about this than they're telling us? Remember, they locked down the schools on Thursday.

Most cops put the shootings of children in a much higher status than shootings of adults, for a number of reasons--most cops are parents, children are more defenseless and vulnerable than adults (even though the adults in these cases were just picked off by the sniper & equally defenseless & vulnerable). It's like the prisoners who kill or rape children at being at the bottom of the prison pecking order--cops have the same attitude towards those who kill or attempt to kill children.

But I can tell you that when our neighbor's child, a kindergartener, was murdered, the investigation was intense--and when the EMT testified at the trial of the murderer that he had to pry the child's body out of the arms of the mother, the EMT was crying, the hard-bitten homicide detectives were crying, the jury was crying, just about everyone in the courtroom was crying--except the defendant and his lawyer, of course.

Police across three US states were searching yesterday for a 33-year-old whitesupremacist from North Carolina who they believe may be linked to the shocking series of random killings that have terrorised the Washington area over the past few days.

According to a bulletin from the North Carolina office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a man named Robert Gene Baker III was believed to be around the American capital armed with a handgun and a high-powered rifle, and should be considered extremely dangerous. The ATF said he was driving a white GMC truck with Maryland registration plates and heading south towards North Carolina.
