The other thread is running over 2800 posts...so here's a new place to post for Sunday.
Per FOXNews, a 10am EASTERN news conference is planned. Two travelers pulled off I-95 for dinner at a Ponderosa Steak House. The Man, 37, was shot in the gut while his wife stood next to him.
Bullet has NOT been removed from the man while, after surgery, he remains in Critical but GUARDED condition, however, x-rays are expected to provide some dimensional analysis of the slug. Further surgeries may be required on the victim, according to FOX and then the bullet is likely to be recovered.
Meanwhile, the "white" box truck/van that was found with a "Shell" in it at Dulles is reported to be a 7.62 (.030'??) OLD shell and NOT expected to be part of the "Sniper Shootings".
Multiple LEA's are now in Ashland, VA located about 80 miles south of DC to begin more site investigations at first light of dawn.
Numerous witnesses in the area saw the man fall down and provided aid to the man. The man was still conscious and spoke during the rescue. According to (spit) CNN, there will be NO news conferences from the hospital.
Over to you Laurie Dhue...GRRRRRollin'
The ER Physician said the kid had lost almost all his blood and in my opinion absolutely confirmed that his aunt saved his life by going counter to traditional/conventional wisdom which says, wait for the ambulance. She didn't wait and even then, he almost bled out. She drove him a short distance to a Doc in a Box and then they flew him to her hospital where she was a ped nurse or Nursing Supervisor.
Okay, thank you for that info.
I have not heard this - do you have a link?
By doing this, he psychologically camoflages himself. Everybody is hyper-focused on finding, tracking and describing a "white van." They're psychologically blinded to anything else.
I agree. And when I read about the gas station guys running around getting a jack, to jack up the car, off the lady, that was vacuuming her car, (which was just a case of mis-diagnosis of her problem) and the cop doing CPR while waiting for the Ambulance, it tells me the Middle school student didn't have any time to spare.
Hit them so hard that they will think not only twice, but three, fourm, five, and six times before doing anything to us again.
They kill our families, they forfeit the lives of theirs.
That's all fine and good. But how do you know this is Mid Eastern terrorist types?
Now, it may very well be, but how do you know until the bad guy/guys are caught?
And something else many seem to be forgetting.
These fanatic's and their fanatic religion are more important than their families, wife's, daughter's etc. It's more important than life itself!
They are driven by fanaticism. They don't give a damn if you or the evil US government wipes out their entire family, as their religion and after life are much more important. These people are like zombies.
I know this all too well, as some of these people have told me right to my face. And they are not kidding. And to prove this, look no further than the insane images of 911......
I would add however, if these bombings, and attacks, and shootings continue, and it is proven that the perps are Mid Eastern types, there is only one way to deal with these people, and it is not tit for tat, eye for an eye. That just don't work! Ask those in Israel. They will tell you.
My way would be very ugle, barbaric and brutal beyond belief, but very effective. I would be civil however. I would give our enemy nations one warning. That's it.
My way would be barbaric and brutal beyond belief.
They are very fortunate, I am not in charge.
There will come a time, when many American's will agree. The time is coming, but more American blood will need to flow first.
Looks like there isn't any. Try the search yourself and all you'll find will be the "Ich bin Gott"'s reference to the Columbine shooting.
My understanding is that hydrostatic shock (dissipating the energy in the bullet) can cause tissue damage well beyond the immediate impact area.
If the impact was on or near the spleen, it might caused that without significant fragmentation.
Best I got out of the last one was, no! If there is anything we will let you know, but for now, that is it.
I am convinced that there are at least 2 involved here, if not more.
The Tarheel
Thanks, that's what I thought.
I think you are right... has anyone seen what happens when one of these High Velocity varmit shells hits a watermelon? Fluid and watermelon everywhere.
