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.

WHEN DO YOU DRAW THE LINE

Um, when people can once again walk into a home store or a resturant without "duck walking?"

[Darlin']

"..The LE would have to stop traffic with roadblocks in about a 154 mile radius in order to catch this guy and that would be as soon as this guy leaves"...

Of course, that assumes he isn't ducking into a pre-determined hidey hole nearby and just waiting until the LEOs have cleared out or changing vehicles.

[Mulder]

The entire FBI can't find one shooter and or terror cell behind all these killings.

Yeah, but that's our fault for insisting on maintaining our Rights as a Free people.

[The Other Side]

Personally, I don't think they are in a white van/truck/whatever.

Hopefully, some of the other posts on this thread are true accounts, and the cops are searching each and every vehicle at many of the different roadblocks.

Oth, what's to prevent the perp(s) -- in some kind of corresponding white vehicle -- from ducking into the garage of a safe house/motel/mosque???

I have a hard time imagining them trying to go very far afterward -- unless they aren't in a white vehicle.

AND all of those reports right after she was shot saying they had a lot more information this time and were perhaps closer to catching the perpetrator because of this shooting. What a joke.

Like a dream team of good guys? A dream come true...

No, Homeland Security will take personnel from various agencies, including FBI and CIA. Read between the lines, HS is free to pick the best, brightest, and most loyal, setting up a new agency that can bypass the holdovers and affirmative action appointees.

Sniper hasn't heared, "Virgina is for LOVERS!"

I think you are missing the point WHEN DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?    Touché!

AND HE SPEAKS PROPER ENGLISH

[concerned about politics]

I heard FOX reporting that the weapon appears to be smaller than a .223 round.

Another cell is taking over. The first has to lay low. Too many police.

Stand on your rights.

Me, I'm more concerned about preventing more deaths. My citizenship and Christian beliefs would have me popping the trunk the second I was asked as even a bit of delay could take up the cop's time unnecessarily.

"This Lt Goodman from the Hanover Sheriffs Dept.has a hell of lot more on the ball than Moose.

Did you see Chief Moose on the noon time press conference?

[rwt60]

FBI task force member and Hanover policeman have recovered an "item" from stopped vehicle. They are interrogating occupants. Back-up on 95 is now 7 miles both directions.

[Spirited]

Hanover Co personnel are so much more open and intelligent than what we have seen in the cities up here. Relief to see real people.

The Sherrif is the most important and senior LEO in any County. He CAN (if he chooses) even take the Fed out under most circumstances....although this may be declaired a National Emergency and that change the situation even in spite of the law.

[Howlin]

Bump!

Just where in the hell is OJ"? In some brothel or crack house probably. Where the hell is Gary Condit? He will be gone in January and is mighty pizzed off.
