Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Thursday, Oct. 17

There is a heavily wooded, private park just outside of my town that has been converted into a commercial paintball war zone (for lack of a better description). A friend of mine joined this group several years ago, played for a few weekends, and then abruptly quit. When I asked why, he explained that some of these folks took the game too seriously. The playing field was very uneven due to the elaborate expense some players would go to.

It is my understanding that the more expensive guns have adjustable air pressure, tighter clearances, and expel the paint balls with incredible force. Since they shoot each other, guys just playing around would literally get hurt. He described the competition as extremely serious and some of the players didn't consider this a game. It is an odd mentality.

Should the shooter/shooters turn out to be foreign terrorists, I shudder to think of the sheer panic and apprehension difficulty we will face. I for one, sure hope you're suspicions are right.

Have you talked to the tip line since the "alternative transportation" connection was discovered? By the way, her employer's website is still not back up.

I think they know which gun it is. They just haven't made it public (for some reason).

I only called the tip line once just to tell them about the story because that's all I had at the time. Later, I called Hampton Police twice and gave little info to the receptionist who said an officer would call me back. I never received that call. After I discovered the Fairfax connection and then the shooting on Monday I immediately talked to the Fairfax Police. I truly believe that woman was the only one to take my story seriously. Whether it be that he was in the neighborhood or that the Fairfax Police knew something I didn't, the shootings have stopped, and no matter what the reason I am thankful.
I do not believe any more calls to the tip line would help.

By the way. I was awoke this morning by my local Sheriff. It ended up he looking for someone else that got arrested that gave them my address. Needless to say, when I saw the car my throat swelled shut.

Give it time. With Canada's open door policy there'll be more than you think soon I'm sure. :)

That explains it! Where is Hale Bopp? Didn't Calabrese RV that Hale Bopp was a UFO, or that a UFO was hiding behind Hale Bopp? A UFO picks the shooter up after each shot, that's why LE can't locate the vehicle!

Whatever came of the doctored photo that Calabrese et all gave to Art Bell?
