Before last night, there was a report of "Hispanic" suspects. Why is the media acting like they are surprised by some new [knew] information?

The first that I can find was posted on FreeRepublic on October 4, 2002.

The link below will take you to the original posting of this story:

Directly across from the Home Depot and Rt. 50 is a major crime-infested Hispanic enclave of slum apartments and numerous home improvement/landscape trucks parked all over the place. Perhaps theie was no "getaway" after all. If these apartments were in the "Peoples Republic of Arlington" the police would have to hold a public hearing before investigating the area. Has Fairfax County Police checked out each apartment?

Its funny but on the other thread I was saying it might be hispanic but was told that I was wrong on that count because everyone seems to be set on the swarth ME terrorist sniper. LOL - I guess I better stick with the ME type to be safe and not get flamed ;-)

Swarth=Swarthy

It's possible but usually Hispanics in drive-by shootings are gang members shooting at other gang members.

[yoe]

Swarthy, Hispanic, ME, whatever Political Correctness and No Profiling is crippling the nation. It's time to get back to calling 'em like you see 'em or just throw up or hands and quit!

Actually Fox News had it up as an "Alert" this morning that based on Mondays witnesses that authorities were looking for "dark skinned male or males." The Pentagon is also reviewing satelite recordings of Middle Eastern terror training camps to see if this sniper fits any of their training scenarios. If the box truck found earlier this week is "the box truck" used early on, the fact that it had temporary tags leads me to think it may be terror related. It would be more like the truck was procured for a mission rather than some crazy who had access to a truck.

Hispanic terrorists would be the EL-Qaida rather than the AL-Qaida.

This is true. But I have to mention that the area is totally infested with foreigners of all nationalities. There is a heavy Oriental presence, mostly Vietnamese and a heavy Arab and Indian presence, as well. Every third person is wearing a dishtowel or turban or his or her head. I never shop there because few people speak English. There are more Peruvian roasted chicken restaurants than there are MacDonald's or KFC. It is a real United Nations, immigrants have completely taken over the area and forced out Anglo, Germano, Italo and other western European Americans. I always emerge disgusted when I have to drive through there, which I only do rarely. I would rather go way out of my way, say from Alexandria down to Rt. 66 via 110 than go to Tyson's that way. In fact, the area is as much of a Third World country now as Miami; the roads are hideously designed, the intersections are a nightmare, the drivers are awful and scary and aggressive, it's like driving in Mexico City.

Yeah, I understand that they had the ALERT this morning.

What I am wondering is - why the media has not been reporting all along (since October 4th) that the first BOLO stated the sniper/snipers could be Two "dark skinned males?"

[ladyinred]

Hispanics named Abdul for instance?

[areafiftyone]

What about Philippino? After all we do have troops there fighting terrorists. We never thought about them. Jeeze this is tough.

[areafiftyone]

Yes "Abdulla Rodriguez Sanchez Martinez" or Al for short!! ;-)

[MissHardihood]

Hispanics named Abdul for instance?

Yeah, the ones that do the Mexican Turban dance.

This must be why I have seen the pictures of both a white Astrovan and a small cab delivery truck. I could never figure it out because that inept Chief Moose never explained it.

[freedom4ever]

I've listened to the news this morning, FOX and CNN, and the talking heads are always saying 'hispanic or possible ME looking men' then they qualify this by saying something like noone is really sure if they have anything to do with the shootings. It's kind of like they are apologizing for saying it.

I also just heard a Lt. Gen. Thomas Macinearny(sp, sorry) mention that this WAS terrorism, domestic or idealogical and that's why the military may be starting to get involved.

[MissHardihood]

Perhaps there was no "getaway" after all.

My husband and I were talking about how...if there were a network of "safe houses" a guy would not need to drive away from the crime...he could just walk to a house...and not get caught in the dragnet. Or - if he did need to drive, just drive to a close-by - "friendly" garage.

[PatrioticAmerican]

I thought they were "White Men"?
