Maryland Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary

Fox, CNN, Press Conferences | October 9, 2002 | Fox, CNN, Press Conferences

[Peach]

Another press conference due soon. To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news that comes from press conferences, thought we'd keep a live commentary thread going again today.

[archy]

if anyone wants on or off the ping list let us know...

Kindly add me to the list. What are you calling this ping list? A couple of unfortunate possibilities come to mind....

Not really, the terror comes from him not being able to be caught as he continues in the same area.

I'm not convinced. I'm not saying I'm completely ruling out the ME terrorists but at this point I must say I'm less and less convinced that the ME terrorists are responsible for what's going on in Maryland. See my post #480 above. It probably won't convince you, but what matters is that the local authorities are on the right track and will catch the @#$+#%*$...

[WRhine]

I think he is in panic mode...he knows the sniper will hit again...and he feels helpless in protecting the people...I would hate to be in his shoes...

If/When the sniper attacks again he will probably be caught. I have to believe that by now the LEOs have a plan to freeze all traffic in the area of the shooting within a few minutes after it happens. Then a car to car search begins. Of course this requires one helluva lot of police manpower but if done right they would stand a good chance at catching this POS.

And if the sniper chooses to start killing outside the greater DC area the Creep is most likely operating in unfamiliar territory which also increases the chances he will make a mistake or leave a trail.

The lady officer handled that conference better than Moose did. She didn't seem to get flustered.

[MasonGal]

Please add me to your PING list, as well.

THANKS!!

[Joe Hadenuf]

Awww, leave the poor guy alone, people. What would be the possible benefit of searching Chief Moose's background? Is up for elecion, or promotion?

Uh, this was a nationally broadcast background on Moose from FOX news. I was just relaying the information. And you can bet, if it was a white officer that made racial slurs against black officers back in Portland PD, everyone in the country would know about it.......Just my opinion....

And I predicted four days ago that if the lack of evidence and suspects, etc continued, the focus would be moved towards Moose and others. And that is exactly what is happening with the media......

This is not Columbine, not even close - this is somebody with a mission

Harris and Klebold had a mission, too. They did some very elaborate, long-term planning to carry it out, and they pulled it off reasonably well.

The difference was only that they planned to die at the end of it -- and we don't know if this nutjob hasn't got the same idea.

[archy]

I will add everyone that requests to be added..will freepmail the acknowledgement to save bandwidth space.

'preciate it Kim. But you might also post the entire list around every 50th or 100th post on this thread [or a seperate followup one titled for that purpose] as well, which would both verify that those so listed have been added, as well as make certain that name spellings are correct.

[El Gato]

but I don't find that he's been that disciplined if he can't even manage to police up his brass or refrain from leaving a message to the cops

Unless the brass and the card are some kind of deliberate disinformation. Not saying that it is, just that is could be.

[Freedom2specul8]

Hey, that's a scary thought and very observant. I'm not going to call it the "snipers list".. AAACK!

Let's call it
~breaking foxnews coverage of crazed man list~

Of course, if you have a one word title, I would appreciate it. :-]

[Dead Dog]

I continue to believe as I posted since early yesterday morning that the perps are 2 older teens or very young adults bored with violent video games

Bored with the Koran more likely. You do not learn sniper tactics or marksmanship watching TV or playing video games. You can learn a fair amount of urban combat tactics, but that's about it. We have approximately 14000 imported nutjobs hell bent on killing US citizens, for the sake of killing them, and people are still hung up on middle class whities. Amazing.

[Freedom2specul8]

"But you might also post the entire list around every 50th or 100th post on this thread [or a seperate followup one titled for that purpose] as well, which would both verify that those so listed have been added"

Great idea...will do!

[r9etb]

What are you calling this ping list? A couple of unfortunate possibilities come to mind....

How 'bout "sni"?

That way it'd be the ... um, sni ping list....

Uhhh, yes. Er, back to work....

[ET(end tyranny)]

how about beltway?

[Peach]

Lots of people on that list, Kim. Thanks again. Ignorant question - when you say just copy and paste the list - where do I keep the list in the interim? Should I refer back to your post and copy the names from there? Okay, okay, now you know how dumb I am about this stuff, but willing to learn.

[Elenya]

What egotistical young man, influenced by PS2 and Hollywood, could keep quiet given the circus around him?

If there are 2 of them as I assume, then they can talk about it among themselves all they want...

[Peach]

This mornings shooting at a motel was a domestic incident and not related to the snipers

VEY = VERY---ooops...I am no typist, by any means.

[WVNan]

The most intriguing information I've seen on this thread is the "fulfilling prophesy" theory. The talking heads make their predictions and the perp carries them out. The crumbling tower Tarrot card and the Bin Laden "Youth of God" comment is chilling also. Let's watch carefully what the "heads" say today and see if it comes true.
