So we may well see a real swing toward center of the great unwashed, all to the good.
I hope so, but I'm not as confident about this as you today, Poised Woman.

Caution: White Van is a Red Herring.

There is no white van. The shooter is yanking everybody's chain with this. There are white vans in every parking lot of every shopping center in America. That's why we have "witnesses" for Caravans, Astros, Isuzu box trucks and now Ford Econolines. Everybody in DC is so "white-van fixated" they are literally blind to everything else. Now we have a van with 2 people impatient people in it---So What? Did anyone see them shoot? Did anyone see them with a weapon? Did anyone bother to notice which way they fled?

If 1,000's of people go shopping at the Home Depots of DC, SOME of them will park next to a white van. They'll note, get goosebumps. Then they go inside to shop, on coming out 20 minutes latr, they find that somebody's been shot, they remember the white van, note that it's gone (or in the process of leaving), and BINGO--you have an "authentic" white van sighting!

I think that van might be an indication of a painting company employee, many painting companies out here in kalifornia have vans like that , and they all have ladder reacks on them! Take this for what it's worth, maybe nothing, but I have a strong feeling about this!

Now I know it IS possible for Aaron Brown and Wolfe Blitzer to say dark or olive skinned, hispanic or middle-eastern type men. ROFLOL. I truly thought they might choke, but didn't. :) Said cops are looking for at least 2 men, based on eye witness reports.

Yes they did see them shoot, did see them with a weapon (for the shooting, you know), saw which direction they left.

Just a half-click skip from Home Depot to Dal Al-Hijara mosque on Row Street."

That is concerning. The thing that has been bothering me about how they are alluding these dragnets is not getting the white van through the net, in that there are lots of white vans everywhere at any given time.

I heard on Fox today that GM estimates that in the DC metro area alone there are over 14,000 white Chevy Astros. However, the tricky part is how you get the van through the net with the weapon inside. Well a concealed compartment, either in the side walls or under a false bed might do it, but that is still risky. The only other choice is to have someplace close to go and lay low for a while.

"Yes they did see them shoot, did see them with a weapon (for the shooting, you know), saw which direction they left. "

I haven't seen a news story that says they witnessed them firing weapons or with weapons, just the "disappearing behind a chinese restaurant" bit.

why was this witness driving around in the lot anyway, right after he saw somebody go down? It doesn't sound right to me.

Heard on local news tonight Rummy is sending up a plane that can pinpoint muzzle flashes and can also track a vehicle from high in the sky...

Heavy rain and clouds tonight and tomorrow. I wonder if the plane will see the muzzle flashes in bad weather?

I don't know why anyone was or was not driving around in a parking lot. The WITNESS was leaving. He was backing OUT of his parking place when he had his "happening" with the van and the two men. A LADY saw the shooter step out of the van, raise his gun and fire. The person who witnessed the firing of the weapon has not been on television, yet. Several people saw the van leave the area, thus seeing the direction it left IN. :) The above information has been aired on CNN, and various law enforcement types have stated these things.

Look for safe-houses (or more accurately) safe-garages to be the reason these guys haven't been caught on the roadways.

A nut-bag would have made a bigger mistake by now.

This is al-Qaeda.

I've thought whoever it is stays hidden, somehow, in the area until it's calmed down enough for them to leave. I've wondered if that isn't why they skip some weekdays. I think they use the weekends to plan the upcoming week.

Very bad driving is not unusual around there. The witness was a construction worker. Maybe he went home, watched the game on TV and didn't realize there was a shooting until Tuesday morning.

why was this witness driving around in the lot anyway, right after he saw somebody go down? It doesn't sound right to me.

Sorry if I butt in out of turn, but I can't help it.) You can now take lessons in cluelessness? Where does one sign up? I'm clueless!

If you don't know where to sign up you are not clueless ....you are hopeless. You'll have to take the prerequisite courses required before you can take training in cluelessness. Information is available at www.reallyretarded.com.

You understand that cluelessness course sizes are limited. Only those that would stand in front of a female judge and say, "Who the hell do you think you are. You can't tell me to shut up.... you ugly slut. I got rights...ho!!" qualify.

"Could still be two white guys who got back from Cancun a couple of weeks ago."

It's official: Edgar and Johnny Winter have both been cleared by DC area police...
