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'm buying stock in Amazon.com. On-line shopping is going to surge this holiday season

I've been doing this for years ..

[relee]

Traveler as in not a local - I guess?

[rintense]

True. But if the intent is to truly terrorize the population, then it would be happening elsewhere.

[Howlin]

It just doesn't make any sense to me if it's not terrorists. If it's a "regular" serial killer/spree killer, why hasn't he been HEARD from? Why hasn't anybody SEEN anything. It's just not normal and I guess that's what is making me think it's terrorisim. Most of these idiots LOVE taunting the police publicly.

Unless they actually ARE keeping stuff from the press.

[jonathonandjennifer]

Possibly they shoud note that no media persons have been targeted yet.

And they still aren't earning a profit. I did make some many a year ago shorting them...

AShland is where you stop to eat ....

When I'm driving home from IKEA or DC, I usually have a meal off an Ashland exit (live in Richmond)

Don't know.

Easy for you to say. Do YOU drive a white pick-up? The idiots will start picking on anything white. ;)

"The Homeland Security Force has not been funded because the Senate has been holding it up, playing politics. FINALLY, someone is saying it."

Yes, FINALLY.....now, if others would say it.

[hole_n_one]

Nahhhhh!

Knock yourself out!

[livius]

Exactly. The Homeland Security thing should have been brought up long before now. One of the problems with this whole thing has been the lack of coordination.

Personally, I think this probably is the work of terrorists. But even if it's not, it surely showed how unprepared we are to handle such an attack.

Time to let the Dems know exactly what we think of their miserable performance regarding the Homeland Security bill.

[Eva]

I have been saying that for the past week. We need to keep saying it over and over. We need to inundate the call in shows and e-mail our congress critters.

Who is that idiot that is on now, saying that it can't be terrorism related. What an idiot! He can't even speak good English.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Uhm, shoot the snipers?

[Mo1]

MSNBC: Press conference by police shortly......

Thanks .. the news reports are all over the place

[Letitring]

You are right, the last two shootings have been at night. I'm going to jump forward then read backward. LOL.

[inflorida]

There are a boatload of em here in Northern VA

No kidding. I grew up there and only moved to Orlando four years ago. The muslim population is enormous in Northern VA, along with the entire metro area.

[Howlin]

Bump!
