Sources: Sniper Arrests this morning "not adding up"

CNN

[newsperson999]

Sources are saying that at first there was "lots of excitment" about these arrests however now things may be "not be adding up"

[Demian]

Given the pattern of this murderer, he will strike tonight to show that they don't have him. People should be AWARE this evening.

[anymouse]

These guys should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The DA should threaten to charge them with 10 counts of murder and sweat them. They probably know nothing about the case, but they should have the fear of the hangman's noose put into them for trying to capitalize on such a tragedy.

[Dog Gone]

These 2 guys are clearly not the sharpest tools in the shed.

They were probably afraid of getting marked bills, so they told the FBI to write them a check.

[anymouse]

No, the idiots dropped the note after the police had searched the area. Then they used the pay phone to call in the tip.

Reminds me of the scene in the movie "Ruthless People" where the inept kidnappers try to pick up the ransom.

..or that there is much more happening behind the scenes than the media knows

geeze, I certainly hope so. I don't know where I saw it, CNN's or the Fox website, but they had links to witness statements, the whole 9 yards. Damn media are having a picnic with this. If they have more leads on this than the FBI, we're definitely in deep doo-doo.

[Texas Mom]

There were no arrests from what I have heard. Have you heard something different?

[Dog Gone]

You have to wonder about these guys. I mean, I think I'd rather try to extort money from the mafia than from the FBI. Sheesh!

[kinghorse]

I wonder how many women have considered wearing a veil when they go about their daily business. Sick and sad but the fact a sniper might not put a slug in your chest if you look Islamic cannot be discounted. I know I would tell my wife to wear a scarf before heading out. It must be hell to live in DC. This is an example of conversion at gunpoint if there ever was one. How many snipers we got on the ground in the ME targeting everyone but Christians? Just wondering.

Think I'm nuts? Well it all comes down to this at the end of the day, now doesn't it.

[watchwoman]

I heard on one of the cable news networks(forget which) that the school district officials in Richmond said they closed school today frankly because LE advised them to. Seems to me they know something bigger is going down than just an extortion scheme.

This morning I was thinking it was extremely odd of this sniper has been so cunning, smart and well planned to escape every sniper shooting scene so far then just get caught and make two phone calls from the same phone booth. This sniper is no dummy.

This sniper takes pride in his "work", that is why he puts his signature on these shootings and didn't want others copycats taking credit. He stressed that point in the tarot card note he left when the 13 year old boy was shot. That is why he didn't want police to release the tarot card to the public so police would know when its really him and so copycat mixups wouldn't happen.

I guess the sniper will probably feel the need to clear up the situation in the next few days with another shooting.

[Grampa Dave]

Burkas could become the hottest fashion in the DC area!

[Rosencrantz]

[Grampa Dave]

Actually, it might be safer in the DC area to try to extort the FBI than the Mafia.

[kinghorse]

Think about it. I've been busy this morning re-arranging my tea towel drawer. Do you like checkered or solids in your tea towels?

[kinghorse]

I'm so proud of the little lady these days. She was only recently introduced to Sharia law and yet she already knows how to lay down a pretty freaky uulalalalalalalalalalalalala.

This is the bottom line folks. If the poor and fearful think their God isn't protecting them, they question their God and look for another God who is being more faithful to his followers. Which implies 2003 is indeed going to be a most violent year as the Christians deliver the counter blow we are all waiting for. Most violent.

[FR_addict]

You could wear one of those floor length models. The terrorists wouldn't know if you were a man or woman.

I don't think American men and women are ready to give up their freedoms for a bunch of terrorists.

[TBall]

Disposable cell phone? Do they make such a thing?

[Grampa Dave]

So you want a pretty freaky uulalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allow myself to embaress myself some more.

I believe that there is a terriorst cell bickering among themselves weather to keep this a "strickly" religous jihad or make some money out of this deal.

The note was left near the scene of the last shooting with out the knowledge of ALL the perps imvolved. There may be 4 or more.

The 1 or 2 indeviduals who want to make some money out of this sniping are going to get the WHOLE terriorist cell busted out of greed and stupidity.

This is going to be a comedy as soon as it pans out. Thats why every one is confused at this piont and media speculation is rampant.

The phone number on the note was for that phone booth the cops staked out and busted the nitwits.

Maybe these 2 guys were the greedy ones or the 2 left in the dark by the greedy ones.

Man this is getting interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
