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.

[SarahW]

I missed exactly what she said...

[McLynnan]

I guess you take your chances with gas, what can you do if the tank needs filling?

I saw footage on Fox today of a station in Fairfax County where they've placed opaque blue tarps between the pumps and the street. Things have gone to hell in a handbasket when you can't even buy gas. The only thing I've ever worried about at a gas station is an idiot with a cigarette.

You obviously need to be re-educated in how to be a good patriot.

Yeah...it's off to the Democratic Party re-education Camp for you.

[dep]

I want to play "DIRTY LAUNDRY" so bad!!

i remember at rko in the 80s, i managed to get through to some guy who had just been in the middle of a hurricane. the interview was, and i am not making this up:

me: so maybe you can describe what it was like as the hurricane came ashore, what you experienced.

guy: started 'blowin.

me: and then what?

guy: blew some more.

me: and i guess it eased up quite a bit when the eye passed over you.

guy: yup. stopped blowin.

me: and then>

guy: started blowin again.

i mean, this was the one time in maybe 10 hours we'd gotten a phone connection through, and i get a guy who would describe a swan in flight as "big damn bird."

and now i'm gonna listen to cold, cold ground.

Texaco gas station manager on the phone:
A lady came in at approx. 8:30. Said someone was shot at Ponderosa. He dialed 911 and handed her the phone. The Ponderosa is 100 yds from I-95.

Major Garret is gonna be ok now that he is away from CNN. Never thought he was that much of a kool aid drinker when he was there.

[Nogbad]

and probably taking off his turban to relax

Boy, you must have travelled a lot. More than me.

I have been in a couple dozen moslem countries and I never have seen a man wearing a turban.

Could you kindly tell me, in what moslem country do men wear turbans?

[OXENinFLA]

SOOoooooo how long can the people in thier cars hold thier bladder?

[rwt60]

I'm saying it from the scanner. Richmond PD just reported that license number is incorrect. I'm listening to the police action live.

[edwin hubble]

Yes, the training film for public instruction of the zig-zag defensive running pattern is the wonderful scene of Peter Falk in "The Inlaws".

[Howlin]

While I was in Wilmington, I heard some woman say that as soon as there is a shooting, they ALL go gas up, thinking he/they won't shoot again soon!

[nicmarlo]

I was typing as she spoke......I understood her to mean, tonight's vehicle they are looking for is a "leased Chevy 2000 van," but sheeze, I may be wrong and she may have been talking about one of the other shootings, but darn, I don't think she was.

[Howlin]

Is that online?

[tubebender]

American intel had intercepts indicating Japanese and Japanese-Americans were in contact with Japanese intelligence, re intelligence and sabotage. The internments prevented any such actions.

I watched a O North war heros the other nite on the Alamo Rangers on a mission in the Phillipines. In the archive video they said the Jappanese merchants were shop keepers one day and in their military uniforms the day the war broke out. I had never heard that before but it sure caught my attention.

Re: Most Americans are too busy . .

With due respect, I don't share your pesimism.

Al Qaeda never does something small. That's why I think this sniper is just a lone nut.

There's more than just AQ to consider. In the DC area alone are besides 2 AQ groups, also 2 Hamas and 2 Hezbollah, as well as one other I can't think of at the moment.

And the Palestinians are known to use snipers. This could be Hamas if it's foreign.
