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.

While he does make a four and seven, find triangles instead.

If you connect this in just a little different way, it almost looks like the Lightening bolt on the Tower card.

Would you like the long dissertation?? or can you see what I see??

It sounds like the Prince William County police have closed off surrounding area. WMAL now saying 'fatal shooting.'

[EverOnward]

I'm listening to WMAL too -- police pulled over white van.

[relee]

Shootings in Manassas are not unheard of, however, they are far less likely in Manassas than in PG County.

Can you post the links to your local news sites.Out here on the left coast we don't get much of the real news.Now if you want to know about spotted owls or medicinal marijuana....

[Elenya]

They could have easily pulled a few choice quotes from the FR, referenced them in the planted evidence, and all of a sudden the coppers are looking at the "Vast Right Wing".

Just read your post. I happen to agree with you. See my #812.

The last WMAL caller said the Sunoco station is 100 yds. from the I-66 entrance ramp. He's right, if I recall correctly. That's the I-66 WEST (back towards DC) entrance ramp.

[PureSolace]

Might just be another typical fatal shooting.... But keep us posted... I'm stuck in my programming cubicle in Redmond, Washington.

[AGreatPer]

On the lighter side, as a kid in the car going south, we used to love to hold our toungs out with our fingers and say Manassas.

[relee]

The gas station is right at the 234 on this map.

[Ligeia]

Someone has started a new thread on this shooting.

[relee]

You must have had even more fun if you kept going south into Fauquier County.

[harpseal]

I agree about the strange sound of that usage. Further, I would point out that at the same crime scene there was a spent case and the tarot card. One indicating a rush to get out (if it was not a deliberate plant to lead police astray) the second indicating plenty of time to get away. This case is a long way from being solved and as of now I am unwilling to rule out any possible suspect/theory maybe even including a transsexual Patagonian alpaca is doing it.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

[Elenya]

How far is it from the other shootings?

[Sacajaweau]

My guts: I think they're watching TV but get advisory calls from friends watching the police activity and web activity. I don't believe this is a lone nut but a couple of guys doing the dirty work (the driver acts as a spotter and the sniper is on foot) with advisors calling in as to where the cop concentrations are.

Because of the line made by 7 & 8 (It lies along the east boundary of DC.) they may be using GPS to pick travel routes to avoid confrontation.

This is a well planned, well executed, "no witness" operation IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, IN PUBLIC VIEWABLE AREAS with no observable motives except to kill americans, cause chaos, fear and put our police/FBI resources on the run. Notice they are careful to stay in Maryland with Moose at the helm (or head). Can anyone get the GPS data on where the hits were and post it. 100 ft+- is okay for looking at numbers

Sometimes I just want to quit following that case...the wild speculations, and crazy claims...

No slight here Kim but lets not fool any one. I think you thrive on this sorta stuff.

The wild speculation and crazy claims.

Have you found a new cause yet? Is this it?

[ET(end tyranny)]

It's Wayne, not Wesley, lol.

I agree. I don't think its them. I think he may have seen that page, or maybe he knows of their sierra times web site.

And yeah, could be setting them up, but I'm inclined to think that he may have been like them in having the same concerns, and for whatever reason, has lost it big time! jmo

His leaving the card with the message was meant for them, not LE. He wanted those that knew that letter, knew that page, to know that he/she was one of them. That's what I think.

[Elenya]

I think they're watching TV but get advisory calls from friends watching the police activity and web activity.

I think they're watching TV and listening to the radio. I doubt they have time to surf and I doubt they have friends who know what they're doing. 2 loners who think they're smarter than the rest of the world, IMO.

I keep thinking about the movie with James Stewart "The Rope".

[ET(end tyranny)]

Someone in this thread and in others, was commenting on the names of the victims.

WHO was it????

[Elenya]

You could be right about the message for the others. That's an interesting point. But I'd prefer a set up...
