no news may/may not be good news ...

[tomkat]

i think our regular 'hostess' must have slept in this morning,
and deservedly so, as she's done yeoman's work these past troubled days.

anyway, have at it ...

[Miss Marple]

Good morning, tomkat. I flagged Peach so that she will see that you started the thread.

[ZinGirl]

"what did you know and when did you know it?"

levity attempt as we wake up to yet another day of indoor recess for the kids...and the thought of what the day might bring.

I agree....kudos to Peach for a massive job well done.

and how are you, anyhoo, Mr. Tom?

[tomkat]

thanks MM
i sent freepmail, but she may still be dozing ...

i've lots of shop time to make up today,
so maybe you'd like to play cat herder in here ?

lol !

Hey Tom:

Watcha think??

These are just random thoughts.

IF HE HITS, I think he'll hit early this morning BEFORE daybreak...he's just going to spread it out more time wise until he is sure we haven't ID'd him which means he may be going into a restaurant or something, either before or after...Think he's considering that he had trouble getting out because he got into a too congested area?

"no news may/may not be good news "

Maybe one of the dudes they "have under surveillance" is the right one!

[leadpenny]

There are a number of good sniper threads popping up in the past hour or so.
I recommend they all be linked on this thread. Just a thought.
I gotta go to work.
Thanks.

hiya zg

rain finally stopped up here, it's supposed to warm up, and so far nothin's goin' on,
so, excuses having petered out, i gotta get some work done ...

dammit !

[Molly Pitcher]

Expert on F & F explaining police procedures like grid searches and terms like serial murderer...

Good morning!

[Molly Pitcher]

He says this is a unique situation...but didn't catch it all:(

[tomkat]

think that was the original point of this thread, actually.

i just can't be here to hit all the other ones today.
perhaps peach or one of the other fine souls here will volunteer (?)

[ZinGirl]

i gotta get some work done ...

hate it when that happens.....

;)

[tomkat]

who knows what's runnin' through a mind like that ?

what i do know is that it's good to see the scales beginning to fall from the eyes of so many re the likely terrorism MO in this.

just too bad it hadn't sunk in a week ago - some folks might still be alive who aren't this morning ...

[dawn53]

The article by Steve Dunleavy in the NYPost is good. My favorite quote from the terrorism expert that he interviews:

If, when the shooter is caught, if he is not a foreigner, I will bare my derriere in Macy's window.

[tomkat]

sure hope you're right, H.

and then which city does this little show get taken on the road to ?

[tomkat]

gotta scoot
later, all ...

IMHO the terrorism explanation is the most likely to be proven out. From the start I was stating nothing should be ruled out as a possible solution to who is doing these murders. I still state that. Last week I was continually pointing out that we have no way of ruling out these shootings as terrorism. This week I will state that until we get the slimmy SOB who is doing these shootings we can not rule out the crazy theory. I still, however, lean to the terrorist theory for the solution. IF it proves out that an AK-74 is the weapon being used that is even more evidence thatit is a terrorist. Given that an AK-74 is very very rare in the USA, there is a high likelyhood that we are dealing with a smuggled weapon. Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

My prediction for today......

The past two days the shootng team has evaluated the police response, ditched the "hot" vehicle, and "scouted new target areas.....

They should now be ready....

Expect another attack today.....
