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.

Undefeated ND is losing to Air Force 7 - 0 in the 1st qtr.

Take it one step further--can you imagine the impact of a "pregnant" woman at a Neiman's or Saks (ultimate symbols of our capitalistic success) in a mall during Christmas who turns out to be a suicide bomber. One incident like this and it could "kill" Christmas (60% of annual shopping is done during the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas) and the 2002 year end economic recovery.

And like the airports, can you imagine the long-term effect on retail if you had to go through metal detectors, etc., everytime you went into a mall or K-Mart?

TV 2 (ABC news) victim was a traveler. A female was with him. He was shot in the stomach. One victim, stable condition, 37 years old.

Hopefully the gators or skeeters would get them before they get as far west as Utah.

Rita Cosby's voice grates

Yes, there is something excruciatingly annoying about her voice at times..

[rintense]

But if that were their motive, wouldn't they also choose another city to do this? Will what happens on the East coast affect shopping on the West coast? Hell, I think the damn longshoreman strike has done more to harm the economy than these shootings will.

We will have it all sorted out tonight only for Mr. Moose to tell us that all the info is wrong on Monday.

Hope it is not your bro'. News reports a 37 year old, traveller (not from the area) with a femal companion. Prayers going out for the victim, and for you as you wonder until you hear your bro' is safe.

Her responce was, " we have a delicate balancing act to keep the public informed and protected and safe." (paraphrasing)

That'd be what I heard, too.

Scanner update: Police looking for a white box truck AND a white van

[aristeides]

There was a report that they had a MD plate and checking with DMV reported no such plate.

Accomplices in MD DMV?

We are with you in prayer for your brother and his wife.

[BJungNan]

Oh yeah, I feel safe knowing Rita and now Whorealdo is on top of this...

Can you believe they actually went to Geraldo in Bali for a report. Fox and Geraldo are really too much.

[who knows what evil?]

If true, the further South they move, the hairier it will get for the shooters to survive.

I was in Oliver North's audience at a remote broadcast of his national show yesterday afternoon in east Tennessee. During a gun control debate with the socialist Barry Lynn, Colonel North asked the 400 or so in attendance how many of them owned firearms. Nearly every hand went up, including my own. Since it would be easier to count, he then asked how many did NOT own a firearm. It was MUCH easier to count those hands...only seven. These b*stards come much further south, and they aren't having to have to worry about law enforcement...they are going to wind up getting capped by an ARMED citizen of the South.

Weren't there supposed to be other paper scribblings that were found at another site that (for once) the press is not releasing?

[Catspaw]

Rita Cosby has an annoying high-pitched whistle in her voice. It drives me nuts.

Try resizing next time next time as a courtesy to to those with older comps...thanks

You posted the same picture, only with size parameters added to the img tag. It's 329,911 bytes either way. To save bandwidth, you'd have to resize the picture yourself and post the resized copy somewhere.

Going north on I-95 one runs into all those blankety-blank toll booths. That could factor in the decision not to go north.

FOX just reported that FBI is heavily involved.

I think you are right. Online shopping will sky-rocket

I started my Christmas shopping tonight.
