I've got no prob with that. But if Senators can be warned that they're at risk for getting plugged on a golf course, what the heck is wrong in warning the little people what the H it is we're dealing with here?

Well, one could ONLY hope!

After 13, possibly 14 shootings, you'd think they'd be ahead of the killers by now. So I'm very pessimistic today.

This Saturday night shooting isn't as surprising as many people think, because of the Sept 14 shooting which also took place on a Saturday night. Later at night, but it gets dark earlier than 5 weeks ago.

I know it isn't officially related, but everything seems to match the MO. A Sunday shooting would be a first, though.

I remember the "he was thought to be on his way to DC". I thought he was beyond his visa date or something...

Remember the Donald Pleasance line in "Halloween"? About the monster: "I worked with him for 8 years. I finally realized that what was living behind those eyes was, quite simply, evil."

Is that the same guy they arrested getting off the plane in Miami, or a different one? The Miami arrest was the same day the flap over the three medical stoog--opps, students was happening. I can't remember if they said this guy was a banker but do know they said he had terrorist ties and was on the list of wanted people.

Well, I don't know if I remember that, but I DO REMEMBER someone buying a one-way ticket, flying to DC area, saying he was only going to see some friends. The judge, as punishment, sent him packing out of the US......is this the same?

They decided NOT to sue the Lady who reported them. (nice of them, wasn't it? BARF) The very last I heard, that medical school was thinking to reinstate them, received another batch of what THEY called "hate e-mail", and decided against it, again. Since then, they have burrowed into the Country somewhere. I would like to know where, and hope someone is keeping a close eye on those three and their associates.

Thanks for the update. I think they should be watched as well. I still think they were up to no good and just got incredibly lucky on dodging arrest.

Speaking of Halloween, I think we should be prepared for a shooting spree on that day if the perps aren't caught or haven't killed each other to keep them silent. I pray I'm wrong.

So it is two, not good. I suppose they haven't found any of those guys who escaped off a boat near Norfolk, have they? It was several of them, can't remember how many.

Motels are dangerous places for criminals unless they walk in. Between doughnut breaks. LEOs are known to drive through, writing down license plate numbers.

Some of the other Chiefs haven't been seen or heard from since the event in their area happened.

Yes. Something's not right.
