HOAX: Shots reported fired...

Debate? Seems like mass speculation to me, since nobody has a clue.

I stand corrected: the wild speculations on FR... :o)

[GraniteStateConservative]

MSNBC is better at it, too.

[dmz]

and shortly after that, we'll institute the martial plan here in the us.

[Rome2000]

Police still can't find anything. Shep Smith, Fox News, said it was 'apparently a false alarm.'

Shep Smith wears way too much makeup.

Butch up Shep for chrissakes.

I'm thankful that we're not seeing copycat crimes across the country. It's bad enough that we have one major metropolitan area hyperventilating.

I think we will eventually, though perhaps not immediately; psychopaths all over are getting the idea planted in their brains by the media coverage...just as once we started to have mass school shootings we quickly had a burst of more, as kids had the concept implanted in their brains.

He said that generally serial killers don't work with others.

Sometimes they do. The Zebra Killings and Manson Family murders come to mind.

[Mudboy Slim]

"You dont have to have a towel on your head to be a terrorist."

Yep...just as "Islam is NOT Peace!!"

FReegards...MUD

[concerned about politics]

CNN - no one being reported hit at school. That's all they said so far. I just got to the post, and turned on the TV.

[adaven]

OK, I just came up with my tinfoil theory du jour. If President Bush were to say 'terror' and then 'Tarot', wouldn't they kind of sound the same? I know he tends to say 'terrists'.

Hmm... a tarot-rist? (say it out loud)

[11Bush]

And have them do what?

[Tennessee_Bob]

Better to have martial law than that dreaded marital law.

[PoorMuttly]

...smippy has to do with those little dots...

...and everything has to do with cheesemoose, of course.

Back to subject...I own a .223, and am buying the white Astro parked in front of my house Sunday but am many, many miles away, and the van hasn't moved in 2 weeks (in case someone was interested!).

You know, as horrible as it sounds and is, it would perhaps be worse if this stuff was taking longer to happen...say once a week. With all this activity, the ball could be dropped my this vermin, and the odds are rapidly building against him/her/them/it. May they rot in hell ASAP.

[concerned about politics]

I think the shooter lives in MD and works in Va., or visa versa. He/she/they keep going back and forth. Happens on weekdays, when he/she/they are in either place.

Fox News' Tagline was coined by my husband that night (after watching Lovely Rita Meter Maid flounder): We're Confused: You Decide. V's wife.

[VOA]

With one lone nut he keeps it to himself.

I agree that's just about the scenario 99.9% of the time.

I was just doing some "outside the box" spouting.
With the bust of the cell in Lackawanna, NY and the group in Oregon...
I see a possibility that we might get a "gang of five" or so that might be
able to pull off the game for awhile and let the authorities think they
are looking for one guy...but get them incredibly confused when the witness reports
describe different-looking suspects (that is, if anyone did really get a look at the perp or perps).

However it works out...and I do go with the lone nut (with maybe one psychopathic
enabler) as most likely...it will be interesting to finally know how this "reign of terror"
has been accomplished.

[dmz]

i think martial law is a subset of marital law

[Mixer]

Exactly!

[FreeTheHostages]

Well, OK, but I live in this area and we can't be posting every time shots are fired. Because shots are fired in DC ALL THE TIME.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Possibly - but with martial law, the punishment is generally quicker - and much less painful.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Hmmm...I'm still lost when it comes to the cheese/moose/shower thing...I thought I'd eventually figure it out myself, but to no avail.

Ok, I'm done. Please return to the series issue at hand.
