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.

I just came in from work, don't want to read 1800 posts. Can someone tell me what is going on?

Howlin's arguing with a bunch of people about whether our rights come from God, or from a piece of paper.

History will show that they already have the underground terrorist infrastructure in place: "moderate" muslims running and owning motels, convenience stores, taxi and delivery companies etc.

The password is "God is great", confirm with "Peace be upon him", spoken in perfect Gulf Arabic.

more Al Qaeda's style. Al Qaeda never does something small.

If true, it doesn't mean much. There are plenty of Jihadi groups besides AQ. The various Pali groups seen to use sniping to good effect. Sometimes in conjunction with other actions, sometimes not.

Nope .. not yet

Info babe on CNN says she thinks the shooter escapes on foot - walks back to his hotel room.

Look, all I am saying is that I live 2500 miles away, I work 7 days a week, and if even the Sec of HS walked up and said give me your gun I would want reasons, lawyers, and a search warrent, then I would fight with every resource I could because there is no reason in heck for me to hand over any weapon or article of person belonging to anyone just because they think they can order it, I though we founded this country to get away from leadership like that.

You're right the Ponderosa was filmed at Lake Tahoe, I remember seeing the sight where they filmed.

".... and busted for public intoxication!! "

Wouldn't surprise me. A few years ago, I knew a young man who decided he had had too much to drink and drive. So he parked his car, intending to walk the 6-8 blocks to his house. The police drove by, stopped, asked him a few questions then arrested him and charged him with: Walking Drunk. LOL

[Skel]

Thanks - just tuned in to Fox! His heart is in the right place...but his mouth. oi hehe

"The Japs occupied Kiska in the Aleutians for about a year or so."

Yup. When our invasion force landed, they had already left.

Thanks for the laugh!

So you think averaging 360MPH over 10 minutes is a good guesstimate?

Please tell me your not employed in a life or death type of job.

Glad I could make you laugh. I've been told I have a strange sense of humor. (sigh)

I guess I was figuring the perp was flying one of those nifty new hovercrafts or something. I don't know. I am extremely embarrassed, and will now shut up until I actually have something intelligent to say. It could happen yet. (shrug)

[CyberAnt]

... "no media yet" ... how about no democrats yet either ... sneaky huh??

[patriciaruth]

Got to go. Have fun.

Remember, folks, in an emergency the first thing you need to do is check your own pulse.

[Trident/Delta]

Some screen names are really appropriate aren't they?

Yours appears to be extremely descriptive. A frustrated demolib that feels the clintonian need to over-parse every statement in a feeble attempt to convince all of his insipid, shallow depth of understanding.

Did I miss anything?

A man was shot in Ashland, Virginia, just north of Richmond and is in surgery in stable condition. The police shut down I-95 for hours, but it is now officially open. As always, the police are baffled.

[LurkerNoMore!]

If I could I would. Sounds like an excellent 1st major FReep for the bro, though. :-)

[Howlin]

Haha......you lose the argument.

Since you're *new* to FR (*wink*wink*), I'll share this with you:

Godwin's Law prov.

[Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Looks like, possibly sniper guy struck again, in Virgina, 37 year old victim shot after exiting restaurant, in surgery, serious condition, looks like a belly shot.....
