Montgomery Co has a large Jewish community.

Look again.....Fred ....the number 4 and the number 7 are in the pattern..

[Boxsford]

I posted on another thread how a guy on FOX being interviewed mentioned a pipe bomber several years ago in the midwest bombed out a pattern of a smiley face over the course of several states. This guy seemed to think there was a 'wedge' pattern going on at this point. Don't know what the value of a wedge pattern might be however.

[abner]

Which pattern?

[Dog]

Follow the shootings 1 thru 5 ....as they progress from start to finish ....it draws out the number 4.....and the number 7 is in there with shootings 6 thru 8.

See my 25.

The #4 and #5 from the list you reference are NOT the #4 and #5 from the map.

Then the poster/auther must be a C programmer...

[abner]

Which means what exactly?

Most conspicuous Jewish presence in Montgomery Co. is the orthodox synagogue north of Colesville Rd. and east of Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring. You can see lots of people walking to and from it on Saturday. There's a kosher restaurant, supermarket, and gift shop in a complex on University Ave. in Wheaton. None of the shootings has happened near either of these places.

No, it's that this Muayiwah person is insane, a blatant liar, and/or knows nothing about Maryland and Virginia.

In no way, shape, or form are ANY of these locations known for being Jewish neighborhoods or Jewish-oriented.

Bowie is only notable for being an island of whites in a county that is increasingly becoming overwhelmingly black; but the whites that are there are largely a remnant of the pre-expansion-of-DC-suburbs Southern Maryland old-time funny accent redneck WASP Tobacco farming community (and before people flip out and get insulted, that's 1/2 my family, who grew Tobacco in Southern Maryland for decades.)


Fredericksburg is pretty far out in the sticks in VA, actually too far to really be a DC suburb, and while like many rural towns it's getting built up, I suspect you'd be hard pressed to find more than a handful of Jews there; it's basically NASCAR country, really. I have spent far less time in that area and haven't been there in years.

Regarding Montgomery County, being largely a wealthly white suburban community for DC, obviously it's going to have SOME Jews, but actually the areas where most of the shootings occured are close to the DC line, and certainly have no reputation whatsoever as being Jewish neigbhorhoods.

I was referring to the printed copy. The cute graphic leaves out the first shooting.

"— 5:20 p.m. Wednesday, 10/2: Windows shot out at craft store in Aspen Hill area. No one hurt."

Given a choice, I'd rather cite from text instead of graphics.

Whoever's behind this should be guillotined.

Not just the head, but the rest of the body as well.....

[dd5339]

But can you get there in 25 minutes?

[Dog]

Your guess is as good as mine.....I don't know.

[LikeLight]

How about a crescent moon and a star . . . isn't that from one of those Islamic flags (need one more shot to fill out the crescent moon almost perfectly)?

[Fred Mertz]

Are there any of those radical Muslim clerics/Mullahs/Imams in the area? The ones that recruit for the cause.

[John H K]

These locations are either Jewish neighborhoods (for the most part), or Jewish owned businesses, or businesses commonly believed by Middle-Eastern types to be Jewish owned.

How true this is...you can hardly turn around without seeing Anti-semitic propaganda about all those thieving Jews owning all the arts & crafts stores, auto dealerships, and gas stations.

(Sarcasm OFF)

[John H K]

Well, I'm sure there's a Mosque somewhere in the DC area.

And I bet there's at least one Jew that lives or works within 50 miles of each of the shootings.

That conclusively PROVES the shooter must be an Islamic terrorist, doesn't it?


(If you can't spot sarcasm at this point, you're beyond hope...no more warnings :-)

[Boxsford]

Thanks for the info. This is not a time to be jumping to conclusions without facts. Thanks again.

It's not out in the sticks as much as it used to be. And much of F-burg would now be considered bedroom community for DC. But I do believe you're right that there's not a large Jewish population there.
