he would have cajoled or pleaded or reassured And, (because I erred by inserting it a few posts ago) he didn't say "PLEASE call us." He just said, "CALL us".
To: GummyIII
Thanks. No, I didn't see it as I just got back on the board. Geez, always a surprise when you come back.

I don't think so, but I'll double check to be sure.:)
To: bcoffey
Nope, not there.

G, i'm not too bad at readin' faces,
and i gotta disagree, or at least offer that he didn't look 'hard' to me.
he looked waaaay worried, ie they may *finally* have a break (witness) on the
horizon, and he *really* doesn't want 'em to get spooked.
consider the fear a potential witness would have of a personal jihad being levelled at 'em if word got out they fingered the shooter ...

Well, Moose may have a hard time looking hard (errr...well...anyhow), but he looked the "hardest" I've seen. He was short and sweet and to the point...he didn't say please, he didn't elaborate, nor did he offer any reassurance. IF it is a witness, perhaps he didn't want the sniper to have any more info than that. I don't think it was to a witness, though. I believe it's to the sniper or a cohort of the sniper.
To: valleygal
We're talking some big bucks on a tip that would lead to the arrest and capture of these guys but no doubt he would want some protection if he was the only witness.
Think about it. The media makes every witness vulnerable. If you go running up to the cops right after and the cameras catch you, etc.. Damn right I'd cover my butt if I saw the shooter .

Take some ibuprofen and stop listening to the new conferences. I said last night I'm not going to listen again until Moose says,
"We have arrested the alleged shooter, he has sustained injuries...we aren't sure how...the doctors are removing the bullet with pliars as we speak. Next question?"
"No, he wasn't given any anesthesia."
We'll have another press conference in a half hour, or maybe, tomorrow."
To: GummyIII
you may well be right - this isn't one of the things that's caused my radar to go berserk.
at the same time, i don't see anything in what we know so far that makes this event point away from the terr angle ...

Started at $50,000 and up to $500,000 last I heard. Sis said people have been donating money left and right to the reward kitty.
To: valleygal

that's the kind of scenario narration ability one needs to scare the b'jeezus out of teenagers from time to time ...
