Hanover County Shooting [Ashland, Virginia- North of Richmond]

[William McKinley]

Just reported. Took place outside of a Ponderosa Steakhouse. Not sure if it is related or not at this time. Police have shut down parts of I-95.

They ARE checking EVERY SINGLE CAR going into Maryland tonight from the south.

Pretty depressing, when the criminal gets more consideration than the good citizen. But don't get discouraged. We need people like you, now more than ever. Stay safe!

[relee]

What I don't understand is if the shooting occurred nearly 3 hours ago, don't you think the suspect/s would be long gone by now - out of range of their localized searches???

That's why they have roadblocks in Northern Virginia, DC and Maryland. I have not heard, although I imagine, they have roadblocks down to the North Carolina border.

Can you imagine how many dime-bags they're going to find? LOL

[slimer]

Thanks for clearing that up. What a relief!

Ok, so let me get this straight: the guy is 60 -- no wait, 37, shot in the back -- no wait, in the abdomen, and there are witnesses -- who witnessed nothing -- and we have at least three different times at which the victim was shot...

But don't worry Mr. Moose is on the way to sort it all out for us!

  I *CAN NOT* believe my eyes... MSNBC was covering the police at checkpoints. LE opening up trunks and looking in every vehicle. Am I still in America?

Don't ask me what I would do... THEIR JOB is to investigate and SOLVE CRIMES... *not pull away the rights of innocent people*. This isn't a NUKE MELTDOWN... we have RULES. If I were a cop I would KNOW what I AM LOOKING FOR... why bother looking at all if you don't?

With what their spending each time the criminal shoots someone, it may be the cheap way out.

WRC-TV reporting that all cars are being stopped and searched in Chevy Chase circle.

Where exactly is that? Isn't it in MD, but not a choke point(unlike the bridges)?

[browardchad]

I was watching that dumbass Chief MOOSE at noon today saying "We won't have a press conference until MONDAY.

The media is a pack of jackals, but they are also the convenient patsy when things do not go well. Moose does not have to hold press conferences when he has nothing to say (which is most of the time).

We have a free press, for better or for worse, and those who suggest a "media blackout" -- and I've heard it more from ex-cops than anyone else -- are playing with one of our basic freedoms: our right to know what the facts are, and make our own judgements on how best to protect ourselves -- whether that means business as usual, or hiding under the bed.

Police just releasing official statement: there is now no suspect or suspect vehicle.

So why the hell are they attempting to protect DC Senators from terrorists?
They know who these people are. They need more dead people to catch them all. The dead or wounded people are being used to catch a cell.
They don't want to scare the public. This is my opinion. They CAN"T be this incompatant. My kids could do a better job!

Well ... since the democrats have placed a priority on having UNION workers in Homeland Security, the democrats have decided they won't bring the issue to a vote. Thoughtful huh?? And ... without a vote, no funding! No funding - no employees? No investigation! Very simple.

[nicmarlo]

Of course Rita thought the Supreme Court decision favored Gore!

I don't remember that, but I do remember all the disgusting comments by Paula whats her face, who made all the dramatic expressions when she learned that Bush was ahead (the very same who went over to Commie News Network).

[Letitring]

Oh good grief. CNN reporterette saying man shot isn't a victim of road rage. GIVE ME STRENGTH, I'm so glad I can rule that out.

The entire metro area of D.C. has a huge muslim population, especially in the Maryland area.

AND in Virginia. I can hardly do business unless it's with one of them. They've taken over my local bank, the government center, the DMV, the stores. And they multiply like cockroaches.

[rintense]

So, if you were a car on the interstate about to be searched, would you refuse?
