Wonder if No. 1 sniper is hurt???because I think the second shooter made the Saturday hit....AND...Notice communication with this shot matches the Bowie shot where there was also some communication (Tarot Card)and neither were kills or headshots.

sarcasm on/ Hey, Salt Lake City is going to have a violence free week (as reported by a news station here), I guess everyone will succumb to swaying and singing and handholding (barf) and ALL bad guys will stop being bad /sarcasm off

[GummyIII]

Just had a thought before hitting the hay....why did MOOSE have the press conference and make that statement when the message was left in Virginia? You'd think the VA person would have commented on it. I think it's because the message was amimed for Moose or someone close to him.

Now that I'm posting in the "Right Spot"..



Can anyone summarize what I missed starting with the shooting, the note, the phone call?

[bcoffey]

Hi Kim,
I'll try to summarize

• Moose goes on TV and asks the person who left the msg at the Ponderosa to call him at the phone number he left on the message.
• Apparently, CNN reported that "only the sniper" would understand Ch. Moose's reply.
• All Richmond, Ashland and area schools are closed tomorrow.
• People are eating each other alive on the other threads "discussing" this matter, the wisdom of closing schools, etc., etc.

We'll be back here tomorrow morning. :)

Thank you so much for the summary. We took 5 teen girls to the haunted house last night, and they were up till 4 am this morning. Lemmeeee tell ya, it was fun..but we had to stand in line 2.5 hours just to get in.

IT was quite a shock to come home and learn what happened. I truly hoped it woudl be over cuz of the extra spy/search planes etc.. I take it there was a note and a phone call? Or did the note have a phone number or does anyone know?

I saw a little in-fighting on one of the other threads..It had something to do with the the treatment of white van owners and civil rights. Our civil rights have to be recognized, and respected. Not sure how much to expect during our Yellow alerts/terrorism watch.

SPeaking of my last post to bcoffey..it suddenly dawned on me..even after 9/11 and even after what is going on in maryland/virginia etc... I am still taking for granted everything we have. Just standing in line for that amount of time...yes, I was a little apprehensive at first cuz of the target age group of haunted houses, of the slow moving cars that drove by.... but it never occurred to me that we could have been standing targets for a sniper.

Kim... this should explain it, personally I think there is TOO much information being released by the Police, FBI, and media... How many more people have to die before the police, FBI, and media wakes up? POLICE HAVE ‘LINE' ON KILLER

[stlnative]

Let's try that again...POLICE HAVE ‘LINE' ON KILLER
