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.

That is NOT what I said; I said that my rights do NOT come from God. And the rights I exercise in this country most certainly DO come from the Constitution. That's why we're ALL equal. DUH.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I just wish this spokesman could talk faster.

RUMOR - EMAIL - THREAT?

I heard that ... What is that all about??? First I heard of this

[abner]

This guy looks just like Elton John!

[blastbaby]

you forgot:

a 60 year old was shot - no make it a 37 year old "traveller" (i think they meant tourist or salesman) who was shot in the head - no make that the back - no, no make that the stomach - They have no leads, no witnesses - police stopping all cars - don't know what they are looking for - the poor injured man ( i think we are clear it was a man) was shot in front of his girlfriend or make that wife and is either doing fine or very poorly ( at least 3 hour operation).

Also God is or isn't more important than the Constitution and lots of people getting pi$$ed off. There I think that will clear that up.

Prayers for the man and his family and all of you FReepers living in and around the area.

You can report abuse anytime you feel like it. Even when you haven't been abused.

Apparently your answer to not having somebody agree with YOUR interpretation of anything is to whine. Be my guest.

[relee]

Yes, I just turned into the news conference and the spokesman (LT.) said the plan was made before the rumor email threat - or something like that. Did anyone catch what he was talking about?

[Therefore]

I've not posted often and mostly lurk. As I was reading most of the posts on this thread tonight, I began to wonder if this could part of a diversion to pull our attention away from the elections? Remember how Clinton always created some major overseas activity to draw attention away from his bad press, could that be happening now but with the DNC or some Democrat group pulling the strings? It seems far fetched but stranger things have happened. I guess I should get my tin foil hat now, huh? Just a thought and wondered what you guys thought about it?

Which God is beside the point.

So right. Their basic premiss was to protect us from our fellow man.

Simple truth was applied.

"I just wish this spokesman could talk faster."

At least every other sentence is not "It would be inappropriate to discuss that at this time."

I hope my book is printed before the whole damn thing comes true.

Don't worry. I for one will still be buying a copy even if it is old news. ;-)

There is nothing worse than to see and hear axe for asks, idear for idea and spelling moroon for moron.

[Howlin]

Now who's talking about twisting. You know very well I meant your remark about me never having heard that before.

But carry on.

[ApesForEvolution]

Beware: Howlin is getting a-n-g-r-y and frustrated (shivers).

Apparently, he's our very own god in this forum.

Katy, I hear you sweet. Both Fred and I feel the same though, it would be so great to see you.

To think I thought this was a "Breaking News Thread" pertaining to yet another shooting tonight. Can't you take this somewhere else?

[Joe Hadenuf]

If he did, his lips would crash and burn....
