Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Saturday, Oct. 19, 2002

Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 19, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

[Peach]

To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.

[RS_Rider]

too bad your turkey shoot is not in my backyard, I am looking at 5 toms right now.

Have fun!

[mystery-ak]

well....MSNBC is breaking away...no news here....have to wait til Monday.

[md2576]

Moose lies about the tip line being profesional. They laughed at my story. Didn'y even want my name or number.

[Lion's Cub]

I don't think the press is being obnoxious at all.

I've got news for Moose. The shooter knows whether he used that truck and left that casing. It's the rest of us who are in the dark.

[berkeleybeej]

have to wait til Monday

When all he will have to say is that it would be inappropriate to respond.

[md2576]

They definately need to look up the word inappropriate.

[tracer]

I've sent the Task Force a few well thought-out items with references by e-mail, cc: me and at the home e-mail of a FedLEO friend.

Such could provide for some "interesting conversation" in the future, but I'm not holding my breath that this thing will be solved in the near future -- if ever -- under the current helter-skelter approach........

[aeronca]

There is nothing to report, after about 3 or 4 "We're Not Going to Discuss That", Chief Moose should end the conference.

I have a question for a MD/DC/VA FReeper who would like to go on a mission...this is the arial view of the Sept 14 shooting...and Hillandale Beer and Wine store...IF someone is going out for a BEER run could they be so kind to go check out this location...and tell me WHERE the liquor store front door is located...we know that the victim was shot at the front door...I have my speculations as to where the shots came from...and want to confirm with at least one basic fact...actual liquor store location...

10100 New Hampshire Avenue near a CVS store.

Go to the New Hampshire Avenue exit, the first exit off the Capital Beltway west of Interstate 95

[Sacajaweau]

You're absolutely right. The sniper knows before the cops, the press and the whole bunch of us chasing his butt whether it's his truck.

No need for that. In this case, "politically risky" is one of the operative definitions....

[GregoryFul]

Terrorist flies in, shoots 11 people, flies out completing mission. He demonstrates that one doesn't need a fleet, an air wing, landing craft, beachheads, logistical support, paratroops, etc. to attack. Just a round trip ticket, and some walking around money. Maybe next month 100 troops "invade" to complete missions!

[tracer]

I say again, as on other threads, BOLO for an ordinary-looking guy wearing a jacket and sporting a (scoped .223) hunting pistol.

No need to risk using an escape vehicle w/ or w/o driver when he can just stash his piece and simply walk away, hop a bus, or join the crowd at the crime scene.....

[antivenom]

He shot 12 people...

[Sacajaweau]

There are a lot of Michael's all over down there in all your little Plaza's but not where I am.

Personally, I believe it is an important clue and leaning to a particular thought. Let's get a feel of it's impotance and why??

P.S. I'm a mathematician so I think differently and see different things than my verbal friends.

Michael's Poll:

Important Clue

Mediocre Clue

No clue

[antivenom]

READ about the first victim

[Quilla]

Hi, Sac. I asked my devout Catholic mother (she's still mad I didn't become a nun) who Michael was the patron saint of. Without missing a beat, she said policemen.

[antivenom]

I think the Michaels' is to keep the "stay at home mom's" at home...face it...90% of the people on the streets of DC/MD/VA are there because they have to go to work/school...strike fear in the hearts and minds of the non-essential travelers...

[justautoglass]

I don't think the cops have anything from any of the crime scenes.By all the maps I have, LE never had a large search area roped off. That's why these retards are going back to all scenes to look for contaminated evidence. LE protect us? they can't even process a crime scene. LE are low wage high school outcasts that want power. $20 an hour LE retards can barely afford to live in the DC area. Best and brightest working on this? what a joke> They sent the media over to trample the last crime scene. LE = loser employee

[mystery-ak]

I think they may have evidence in this truck....it would only take a couple of hours to discern if the casing was a match... all the Moose would have to say today is that it isn't and move on, but instead he has postponed the revelation until Monday.
