Sting gone wrong?
Got a source for this?
To: All
In most news interviews, people are living in fear. Most say they do what they have to do and then get home where they are safe. What is stopping them from hitting our homes?
To: BonneBlue
He already has. Didn't this psycho get the guy mowing his lawn in front of this home?
To: Kip Lange
I was irritated.
To: Peach
What's the likelihood that 4 teenagers are all psychotic? speaking on the basis of my five years as stepdad to two teen boys,
all teenagers are psychotic !
To: WillVoteForFood
One thing we all know is, they are very big on video taping themselves. Like the homicide bombers tape their "victory" before they do the deed.
Like Dr. Phil says, "There's a payoff in this somewhere for you." The fear and economic destruction of these actions is more than enough pay off in their eyes. Why ruin an operation that's proceeding as hoped by coming forward to claim glory for 5 minutes when, you get constant coverage for days/weeks (hopefully not longer.)

Got a source for this? "This," being the story about the two Home Depot First Aiders? If that's what you mean, it was definately something I heard and not something I read. I was mostly watching Fox News from about 10 to midnight here last night so that's probably where I heard it. Maybe someone else will confirm?

NOW you're scaring me.

I hear you. I played step-mom to two live-at-our-home teenagers and they were psychotic. They've since adjusted to relatively normal adults.

I admit I'm no expert on ME Terrorists, but hasn't their MO to date has been to claim they're doing it? The Palestinians claim credit, but not Al Qaeda--think about 9/11, USS Cole, the embassy bombings--no claim of credit there.
To: johnb838
Me either. I am trying to figure out though, why would "multiple" people (if this were a terrorist cell) would use the same gun. There are many theories out there. This is just another.

Maybe someone else will confirm? ML/NJ Was one a female that identified herself as being in the medical profession?
To: areafiftyone
He already has. Didn't this psycho get the guy mowing his lawn in front of this home? He was mowing the lawn of a car dealership.
To: Kip Lange
Cops were at the scene within 2 minutes, thus reported on Fox today. This could explain about the 2 first aid workers. I am sure he was not the only cop around. Were they expecting something to happen at this mall? Or where they just prepared because a Michaels was nearby. 2 minutes is awful quick action.
To: BonneBlue
If they got to the scene in 2 minutes, I wonder why they couldn't block the roads faster.
To: Peach
They've since adjusted to relatively normal adults. real life tends to force them in that direction,
but the jury's still out on the prognosis for these two knotheads.
congratulations on the survival(?) of your sanity ...
