Hey man, some of us are brainstorming this, looking for possibilities. I haven't leaped to a conclusion, but I'm leaning that way.

[freeperfromnj]

You are right. I physically connected the dots and they clearly form the numbers 4 and 7. Could something be planned for the 12th?

[freeperfromnj]

Make that the 11th.

Ghost,

Thanks for the info. Living in flyover country I have no perspective of the local environment there.

Look at the timeline. The distance you have to make in 25 minutes is from Aspen Hill to Leisureworld. That too is easy to do.

[aristeides]

Didn't that imam at the Laurel mosque have to leave the one in Arlington, Texas because he was considered too radical?

[Hatteras]

"But can you get there in 25 minutes?"

You can travel that distance in less than 10 minutes at that time of the morning. Two or three lights, straight shot on 3 lanes of road. It only takes a second to pull the trigger.

Your description of the area sounds pretty accurate to me. I have heard some people joke that the real Mason-Dixon line runs through Fredericksburg, VA.

In my opinion, whoever is doing this qualifies as a terrorist, but I agree that it is way too early to make any assumptions about the race or ethnicity of the perpetrator.

[Fred Mertz]

That sounds vaguely familiar; you're the one with the best memory around here.

[John H K]

It's no doubt changed radically since I've been there. Lots of mover-inners, strip malls, etc., far less rural than it used to be.

But basically when you see the DC suburbs rapidly expand you're getting highly-paid government workers moving in from all over the country, becoming an overlay on top of a pre-existing Red-Country NASCAR-lovin' WASP farming population that's been there for 400 years.

And within this overall migration, you have the sub-migration of whites out of the Eastern DC suburbs in Maryland into the Western DC Suburbs in Virginia, while simultaneously those blacks that can move out of DC itself into the Eastern DC suburbs in PG County.

I honestly can't think of a DC/Baltimore community or neighborhood that's KNOWN for being Jewish; unlike NYC we don't really have an Orthodox Jew/Hasidic community at all; you'll simply be more likely to see more Jews the wealthier the community, and offhand I'd guess most would be in NORTHEN Montgomery County (away from the shootings) and in Fairfax County in VA.

[Hail Caesar]

Thanks for straightening out muawiyah. He/she appears to have an anti-Muslim agenda at heart.

I hope outsiders and others reading your postings now have a better idea what we are dealing with here in MoCo. I also happen to concur with some of your observations, too.

[Hatteras]

Actually, the White Oak area (Lockwood Drive/Burnt Mills) has a rather prominent Jewish population.

[Hail Caesar]

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

No. But, there are a number of JDL members, and foreign operatives with close ties to the Israelis, who frequent the gun shows and gun stores in the DC area. If anything, MoCo would more likely be a Zionist recruiting ground rather than a hotbed of "radical" Muslims.

[Fred Mertz]

I've got a feeling it's female shooter too.

[Shermy]

Prosecutors question Laurel cleric (Sept. 20, 2001)

Laurel imam's attorney rejects claim client knew of attacks (But He Won't Talk To FBI)(Sept. 18)

Laurel Arab sought for questioning (9/17)

[Boiler Plate]

The Islamofascist taxicab driver doing the shooting has managed to put a Jewish angle on every single shooting except 1 - that's when he killed the only witness - the Indian taxicab driver who could probably identify him! 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.
It's just like the anthrax attack down in Florida. The next facility "downwind" of AMI was a state college with a predominantly Jewish student body.
Clearly this is an AlQaida thing going on here.
We just had another shooting near "Lily Pons".

I have no idea whether or not these are Jewish neighborhoods . . . but IF true, then that's yet another Al Qeada warning we got during the past year (targeting Jewish neighborhoods) . . . Curious to find out if any accuracy to the characterization of these areas These are not primarily Jewish neighborhoods, especially not Fredericksburg. So you can forget this line of reasoning.

And yes I leave right in the middle of all of these shootings.
