LOL, yeah I know, but I think it fits in with what we were talking about the other day. I think he has a tough time. He has to get messages out to the shooter, without people catching on, yet I think this time, he wasn't talking to the shooter and he said way too much! *smile*

"I think he has a tough time."

Any chief of police does...and Moose's is compounded by a bunch of psychopaths driving around in white vans shooting...

...footage for the evening news, as well as the matter of (a) spree killer(s).

Last month, Moose's biggest problem were the little old ladies in tennis shoes at the town hall meeting complaining about the parking problem at Krogers. He is either crazy like a fox and playing a masterful role as the bewildered boxer punching in the dark while his lieutenants close in on the shooter(s), or we are no closer to resolution than we were a week ago. I sincerely hope it is the former, and not the latter. A lot of conjecture has been thrown about here in the last week or so, and IF this matter is brought to resolution, a lot of us will be vindicated and a lot of us will be eating crow...not just about the identity of the killer(s), but about Chief Moose as well.

I'm sure not going jusp on the blame Moose, and condemn Moose bandwagon. I think he is having a hard time with the media, who know how to twist his words and finagle more out of him than he meant to say! lol

I frankly know zip about truck makes and models, but when I saw the graphic aid, I immediately said "Isuzu"

Are there other brands of truck that look similar? Why aren't all the registrations for all white Isuzus of the proper make being checked?

"I talked to a guy who's father was hired by Bonnie and Clyde when they were hiding out on some island. He would row out and deliver food and supplies.
The father's clearest memory was that Bonnie was a vicious psycho."

My grandad knew them as well. One day way back when I was justa kid, a bunch of us were in the backyard of my granny's(great grandmother) house in Erick, Okla. yapping about how cool the movie was(it had just come out) and my grandad happened among us and wailed into us about how we better not say anything good about those killers. He was still pissed at how they stole bank money back in the days that there were no FDICs. You stole money from a bank it was gone, right out of the hands of the depositors.

Well algore shot himself in the head - a body part he NEVER uses anyway - so it was no great loss.... LOL

Don't know about the Isuzu truck, but heard on the news over the weekend that there are about 8,000 white Chevy Astros registered in the DC area.

Mercedes and one other looks similar (can't recall; GM maybe? Volvo?)

I'm leaning heavily towards the Monday thru Friday slug who works for someone else and lives or works near Waldorf, MD., using vehicles rented from a local company there. Check out www.totalcarent.qpg.com and look at the mapquest map from the rental company website, scroll to the bottom and click on the Map button. Routes 5 and 301 run north for easy access to Interstate 495, the beltway around DC, and to the areas of the shootings. His daily work takes him all around the beltway, including possible deliveries to Michaels Crafts, etc. Choose not to go to I495 and the road takes you north to the Bowie, MD. area, scene of the school shooting. Go south on 301 and you end up in VA, just east, and within striking distance of I95/Spotsyvania, VA. Work takes him to these places also.

Take a look around, next time you're out, at work vehicles...courrier services, delivery services, etc. Many are rentals. Total Car and Truck not only offers cars, but also mini vans and full sized trucks...It's not a stretch to say many are white in color, is it? A large, large percentage of work vehicles and delivery vans are white, aren't they.

Someone close to that area, or it's other location in Sterling, VA. should take a drive by and look at their lot...see what the lettering looks like on the side of their trucks. It must be lettered. Not only is it good advertising for the rental company, but it's the law in VA...Commercial vehicles, even rentals, must have the company name displayed on both sides. Sorry, not sure about MD law on this.

Chief Bullwinkle and others have never explained why they told us to disregard the lookout for a white van with the words "Total Recall" or Total something. He did a press conference one night and just said "Nevermind those words, we have discounted them". Total Recall, Total Car Rental...hmmmm?

Anyway, the only thing that doesn't seem to fit would be the Manassas shooting, right? Except that Total Car and Truck Rental has that Sterling, VA. location. If the boss sent the badguy(s) out to Sterling to pick up a vehicle, possibly a needed minivan versus the normal delivery truck, the best rush hour drive back into the Waldorf, MD area would be through "Manassas" to I95 and back up 301, all against the flow of the infamous Wash, DC rush hour traffic.

My two cents...

LOL

i say the white trucks are unwitting decoys, the shooter waits till one is about to leave the scene and hits the available target.
