If I were the shooter I'd suspect a set-up and not call back.

Police release two in custody

That's a little misleading, the story says they were't released, but rather transferred to immigration authorities. That's the next thing to being released, but not quite the same thing.

Great. So we go from "police confident they have sniper in custody" as reported earlier today, to "men in custody not sniper but related" as reported later on, to "two illegals in the wrong place at the wrong time."

In other words, "we have no idea what we are doing, resume ducking and hiding."

And FReepers, resume praying.

Look at all three of these together. It seems he is communicating with someone whose first language is not english or someone intelligent impaired.


"To the person who left us a message at the Ponderosa last night: You gave us a telephone number. We do want to talk to you. Call us at the number you provided."


"We are going to respond to a message that we have received. We will respond later. We are preparing our response at this time."



"The person you called could not hear everything that you said. The audio was unclear and we want to get it right. Call us back so we can clearly understand,"

What made the two suspects in the first place? Was it someone calling the van in, scared thinking it was the sniper?

Keystone cops bungle audio from sniper call.

Oh, no. It's part of a master plan to catch the culprits. Someone will be along shortly to explain it.

I think your title is giving the benefit of the doubt to the Sniper, and belittles the law enforcement officials. Just mho. But what do I know, huh?....

Okay; someone come out and explain to me their theory thats it is a "white trash, lone trailer park, red neck, what ever," one more time.

This is getting way too complicated for me, and I have been following this kind of stuff for a long time.

I'm not even all that sure its a ME terrorist any more. But is sure the H3!! is someone re-writing the playbook.

The best theory that I have seen posted today of how this whole weird scene could have set up by the sniper was posted by per loin: ============================================================

Per Loin Posted: "Speculation: These two guys have nothing to do with the sniping. They are day laborers, or small time contractors. They run an ad somewhere. Sniper contacts them and tells them he has work for them at that school. They show up at the school, but nobody there. Sniper has given them number to contact him at. That number is the number Moose made reference to. One of the two goes to a phone booth to call that number, while other waits at school, in case anyone shows up. Police move in as soon as number is called. Sniper laughs. 315 posted on 10/21/02 9:32 AM Pacific by per loin ============================================================

If this is true, the sniper played the two illegals and Chief Moose like a cat plays with a mouse, or as one our Freeper Wits noted, like a cat plays with a Moose! Notice that Moose cancelled his second appearance for the day and had the good sense to have professional PR lady talk to the reporters.

Now the 64 million $ question, will the sniper/snipers strike again to night to show that they are still in control of the situation?

Sounds like someone knows how to manipulate the system. Look for more to happen this week.

No way to yet tell if the police are bungling(as you allege) or just being thorough. Not every time that something tugs on your line are you going to reel in what you are fishing for. At least they are out there actively fishing, rather than simply armchair quarterbacking. Its easy to be snide and cynical, much more difficult to actually perform.

Yet it seems that every potbelly with a remote thinks that he is McNabb.

I can't believe this. A whole day of press coverage just to say....nothing. *sigh*
I think they're just playing re-runs from yesterday! It saves on overtime! :-P

[Keystone cops bungle audio from sniper call]

How does 1bigdictator know it was the cops who bungled the audio? There was nothing in the article that indicated it was their fault.

More likely, the audio was bungled by the sniper or the telephone company.

Drug dealers. That's why the guys were sitting at the phone booth waiting. They should have known that the sniper would not be waiting at a phone.

... [Keystone cops bungle audio from sniper call]

Hey, you ain't Sherlock Holmes, bucko!

In reference to the call, Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose said today:
"The person you called could not hear everything you said. The audio was unclear and we want to get it right. Call us back so that we can clearly understand,"

Under the circumstances, the police are doing the best that's humanly possible.

I suppose I will have to finally say something about the police response in the sniper case. You have inferred they are keystone cops. I believe they are doing a good job under highly unusual circumstances.

I have never made a habit of saying anything nice about the police, but they are up against a wall here. This type of guerrilla warfare is near impossible to contain. Perhaps it is impossible.

The likely end to this will be the perps disappearance or a mistake, such as a traffic violation. The chief has found himself thrust into the media spotlight and has been doing fine IMHO. He has done nothing stupid or vain. He has been focused.

LOL! I bet that's one Guatamalan who never comes back to the States! If he doesn't speak English, he might STILL be wondering what happened to him. Maybe he'll tell his associates back home that the US is getting awful serious about illegal immigration, and not to even try it!

Media to Chief Moose: "Chief, is there something you would like to tell the sniper"?

Chief Moose: "Yes, we're coming after you". "You're dead meat".
