Elderly woman

No one is sacred, woman, child, men, all innocents

Probably did and just got flustrated.

Uh, they have a tag number...

Sorry .. yes A tag number

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I guess they can let the X marine they got earlier go now huh?

[concerned about politics]

Ok. Let's settle that MINE is longer than YOURS.

That's why women aren't good at judging lengths. They've been lied to so many times. :-)

Nice comment by Brian Wilson about people in the area having a gung-ho spirit and helping each other. A "we're all in this together" spirit.

A small glimmer of niceness in an otherwise sad story.

Your what? I was talking about the ammo discussion going on here. I can see that it is very interesting conversation, but the idiot who just killed this poor lady is using his/her ammo and weapon to hurt people and not to defend himself/herself or for sport. At this point of the night, and with what has just happened, it find it in very, very bad taste to get into descriptions of what guns shoot better and what the bullet does after it enters the body. Puhhleeze. Save it for later, or take it somewhere else.

Sounds like they have a good make on the Perp. I think they got him trapped.

[cajungirl]

If he shot at a distance as he usually does, where were the eye witnesses,,this is odd, looks like she was in the garage,,somehow it doesn't fit.

[sissyjane]

ROTFLMAO!!!

"Depends at what range you are going to be shot at, no?"

No, sorry.
No cigar.
It depends entirely on the ammunition.

[RandallFlagg]

If they had ARMED eye witnesses, this would be over!

[nicmarlo]

I hadn't heard that, thanks for your post; and about Michael's, I think there's something to it.

Brian Wilson fnc just said 9:30 pm. It was dark, easy to get away at night. Who says the guy always drives on the highway? Maybe he goes off road. Hmmmmmm? Barnes & Nobles employees being held by LE. They've got a long night. Well, at least they have coffee.

The Home Depot near me was open 24 hours through the DotCom boom years -- cut back somewhat last year, but still open 'til 11PM I think.

[Palladin]

Yah! Martha Stewart! You're on to something.

Thanks for the much-needed humor break.

Al Quaeda theory on sniper Qaeda has been calling for "disrupting the economy."

REPEAT......REAR BUMPER DAMAGE ON VAN BEING HELD.(MSNBC)

Can u explain/source ???

[tomkat]

this whole van business is still misdirection, imho.

someone looking to continue this spree, which this creep obviously wants to do,
would be a complete moron to be in this particular type of vehicle,
and his/her/their ability to E&E this long is not indicative of someone so foolish ...
