Maryland Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary

Fox News, CNN | October 10, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Releases

To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news that comes from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

Law enforcement needs help. Van Dams parents are free. Jon Benets parents are free. This sniper is roaming. Finding and prosecuting criminals is becoming too political. In this case, IMO, Moose is a hindrance. The sooner they hand it to someone else, the better.

[Freedom2specul8]

Is that right? I've not seen any interviews of neighbors yet..

[concerned about politics]

Law enforcement needs help.

The entire legal system! It's falling due to Democrat trial lawyers. They're hurting the nation as much as a terrorist attack, only slower.

[Dog]

It doesn't matter if the kid was black....

This sniper is just shooting at targets of opportunity.

He used another major highway as a getaway route this pattern keeps getting repeated.

IMHO the leak came from the feds.

[Dog]

Why.....??

[Miss Marple]

White mini=van with paneling under the windows. From a distance could look like a box truck.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Feds are evil. That's why.

< /sarcasm >

[Sacajaweau]

Deliberate leak from the reaction of Moose...Otherwise the entire text of the writing would have come out.

Would guess they are busy tracking the card and doing a little forensics.

No evidence...just seems logical someone in the bureaucracy would use a tidbit like this to ingratiate themselves with a reporter. There are too many organizations involved now...gotta be a big mess.

[Dog]

Travis ....I sense this guy is using military tactics....if this latest shooting is his work.....he just expanded the area the LEO's need to protect...

While everyone was watching the right flank ....he hit on the left flank.

One other thing they reiterated in this press conference was that the "two white males" report is not 100% reliable. That was the initial report to the state police when it first happened but after doing a little investigating, they concluded it's not totally reliable.

In these types of minivans (they're registered as trucks in Wisconsin because they only have the front two seats) the only windows are the driver's side & passenger side--I don't know if it they have windows on the rear door. The rest of the body of the minivan is solid metal. They're popular with small businesses, handymen, etc.

[stuartcr]

In his mind, it may be a good way to justify doing it again.....who knows???

[stuartcr]

If you,ve thought of this before, we all have a responsibility to report you as being a potential crazy.

[Deguello]

If you were more creative like Woody's dad who shot the Texas Judge back in the 70's, you could remove the inside panels and use the gas tank door as a shooting port.

[Freedom2specul8]

Decision time and a "why didn't I think of this sooner moment"..

Next time we have multiple pings like what happened this morning..I'll just post all of them on a single post on Peach's discussion thread rather than ping you 8 times in a row.

My apologies for not thinking of it sooner..
