Rush's fill in says police have BOLO for two hispanic men. When asked could they be M.E.'ers, source said - could be. Then the host went on to tie Gertz's book on 9/11 where a known Al-Qaeda cell was active in Prince George's County in the same town as one of the shootings.
Considering the recient court case there -- go figure! Birds of a feather flock together.
First shot fired at a store...named Michaels (arch angel???) shot most likely fired from the "symbolic" cemetery (GATE OF HEAVEN) that has a CROSS in the center of it. RED circle represents 900 ft diamter - see scale in the upper right hand corner in all little maps.
WEDNESDAY first of two shootings |
|
Second shot FIRST victim - safety of a park again? WEDNESDAY second of two shootings |
|
Third shot - 2nd victim - the "comfort of a park??? THURSDAY FIRST shooting
|
|
Fourth shot - 3rd victim - BACK at the first scene...is it symbolic? "Gate of Heaven"??? Felt safe there? Wanted to practice LONG range shots??? THURSDAY second shooting |
|
Fifth shot - 4th victim - hmmmm 2 parks to pick from....3 THURSDAY third shooting |
|
Sixth shot - 5th victim- Parks near by but suspect shots were fired from the railway tracks...possible walked from one of the parks. Suspect probably has a knapsack and field strips the gun to conceal it ??? THURSDAY fourth shooting (another PERP that doesn't need to use a park???)
|
|
Seventh shot - sixth victim- walking near a ....PARK! THURSDAY fifth shooting |
|
Friday - one assualt victim - out of state...seems to break pattern...BUT the target has shot victim at a Michaels store...wonder about the surroundings...wonder if area is surrounded by trees to allow "cover", I suspect entrance to the area was alond the stream/river from I-95 heading WNW towards the red star. (another PERP that doesn't need to use a park???)

MONDAY - one assualt victim - BACK to the "park" pattern. | |
Maryland has one of the largest percentages of moslems in the US, I was trying to find the chart I saw yesterday, but there are 70,000 in Maryland, though I don't know what the actual percentage is at the moment.
None of the articles I saw on FR mentioned that. I posted one over here.
On the evening of Sept. 29, 2001, a citizen called the Skamania County Sheriff's Department to report that gun shots were heard at a gravel pit on private property.
Skamania County Deputy Sheriff Mark Mercer discovered Battle, Ford, Ahmed Bilal, Al Saoub and several other men of Middle Eastern descent at the gravel pit target shooting.
They were using a 12-gauge Remington 870 shotgun; a 30:06 rifle with scope; a Chinese SKS 7.62 assault rifle; a Kel-Tec 9mm, semiautomatic pistol and a Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistol, according to the indictment.
...
Bryan said the group was discovered shooting at the gravel pit wearing long, flowing white robes that are often worn in Middle Eastern countries because of the heat.
"It was two weeks after 9/11. You don't see men dressed in that sort of attire with those weapons around here. It just stood out," Bryan said.
When asked why they weren't charged at the gravel pit, Bryan said, "Technically, they were trespassing, certainly, that's not the crime of the century."
I looked up the addresses. Here's a map from Yahoo. 1 = Freeway Airport, 2 = Benjamin Tasker Middle School. Maybe there's somebody here who knows the area who can confirm this? (Maybe aristeides?)
Good thought. This would tie up law enforcement resources while more important stuff was happening.
The feds took over the case this morning. Is that fast enough?
