To avoid multiple vanity threads regarding any news from press conferences, let's keep a live commentary thread going again today.
Yeah, I know, I had the tin foil hat double wrapped.
Anyway, we put a number on the various locations, a high number, 100, being safe as possible and a low number, 0, meaning never go there.
Surprisingly, most areas received pretty good marks but there were a few that she won't be visiting any more...at least not without me dropping her off directly at the door and picking her up the same way.
Christian tradition gives to St. Michael:
To fight Satan etc.
To be the Champion of God's people, the Jews in the old law, the Christians in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church and of the orders of knights during the Middle Ages.
It's an interesting dissertation and there is more..
Think about it. I've got one single thought in my mind now as to the significance of Michael.

Are you keeping an eye on our Iraqi neighbors in our area? Start noticing -- especially the Iraqi owned businesses.
Of course, it isn't just Iraqi's that need to be watched. Some of my neighbors have reported their observations to the FBI tip number. Anyone have that number? I need to write it down. Called it once, but need it again. Suggestion: Could that number be posted in the beginning text of the daily thread?
I believe you've hit the nail on the head.
Just couldn't resist.

Most likely, they still won't know whether it's evidence or not, even when they've finished processing it.
If the shell matches the one left at the school, all they will know is that it matches the one left at the school. They don't know that either one of them actually came from the murder weapon. Nor will they know whether any other evidence found in or on the truck is from the shooters or from some other poor sap who rented the truck.
The only real clues they will have is the rental information. They can try to match the handwriting to any other samples of handwriting they may have (tarot card, piece of paper with directions, etc.). If the rental information turns out to be a false ID, they can figure they may be on to something. If the rental turns out to be to a local who appears otherwise legitimate, then this may be more misdirection by the shooters.
The one exception to this that I can think of is that the shooter may be in for a real surprise if the truck had some kind of GPS that recorded a record of where the truck has been. I would bet that most rental cars now have some kind of transponder that can be activated from the rental counter to send out a signal to help locate it if the rental is stolen, so there may be some kind of data maintained in the truck itself.
I can understand Moose saying they need more time to investigate, run tests, etc. before jumping to conclusions. But I see no reason why he couldn't have said "Yes, this shell matches the one left at the school. But we still don't know if it came from the murder weapon or whether it was planted in the truck to try to confuse us."
In response to the sniper attacks, the Texaco station at Little River Turnpike and Prosperity Avenue in Fairfax has put up a tarp to protect its customers. "I feel safer," one said. (MICHAEL WILLIAMSON -- THE WASHINGTON POST)

It isn't just m.e.'s that are muslims. I've noticed in the last couple of days muslim men who look white (chechnyans, bosnians) and asian (indonesian). You can bet terrorist acts will no longer be carried out by just the m.e. types.
We settled it...very amicably I must say.
