Let's keep a live commentary thread gonig again today.

[kcat]

Thanks. I had just been wondering if there had been some minutes between when he was shot and when he was found. Have any of y'all thought of the relationship of a man in a bus being killed and the bus bombings in Israel?

[hispanarepublicana]

There's that word clear again

The word, "clear," is the Greek aJplou'" (aplous), which literally means single.

[Lion's Cub]

I don't know who called, but I can think of two possible candidates. There was reportedly a woman passenger on the bus, and overhead shots of the crime scene showed a second bus a few yards behind the victim's.

the crime scene showed a second bus a few yards behind the victim's.

There's a bus driver who will be thanking God for awhile

[Miss Marple]

I am speaking of QUARANTINE, as in smallpox or ebola. Get a grip!

Plus, if there are snipers all over the country, I intend to be a target as few times as possible. Call me crazy, but I want to see my daughter's wedding.

You will note I also said FIREARMS. I do not intend to go down without a fight. However, if smallpox hits I am not going to be waltzing to the supermarket!

You macho guys are too quick to assume that the rest of us are cowering in the corner. Please! I lived through the Cold War, the riots of the 60's, and Jimmy Carter's horrible presidency! I am fairly tough and am not giving in.

HOWEVER, a good strategist plans for ALL contingencies.

You may consider your apology accepted.

[aristeides]

I think that they have absolutley no clue what is going on. They have no suspects, they have no motive, they have no idea what is going to happen next

Just like with the anthrax.

[rintense]

I still want to know if the writing on the tarot cards/note is the same as the writing on the anthrax letters.

[aeronca]

"I heard they took several minutes to get to the bus driver after they arrived on scene because they were afraid of further shots and had to secure the area.

I can understand that. But still don't like to think that those critical first minutes in trauma situations are lost. Just another down side to this crime against innocent citizens.

[MTCJK]

and Jimmy Carter's horrible presidency! I am fairly tough and am not giving in.

Yes, well us young machos lived through Clinton's presidency, so take that back lol

Someone would see him going through a sewer.. I tell you, I believe he is walking away. He may be dressed like someone not threatening... police? Man of the cloth? Local yokel?
I did notice that they were showing the cars being searched on FOX and they were not looking under the hoods or under the car. If I was trying to hide a weapon.. I would not have it laying out where they could see it with a search. You would hide it either in a built-in hiding spot, or under the hood or under the car, if he is in a car. I bet he is on foot, with a bag of newspapers or a briefcase with business attire on, or some other kind of costume.

[rintense]

If they don't catch this guy before the holiday shopping season starts, the economy in the DC area will take a major hit. Let's hope people shop via the internet.

[aeronca]

[MTCJK]

You would hide it either in a built-in hiding spot, or under the hood or under the car, if he is in a car. I bet he is on foot, with a bag of newspapers or a briefcase with business attire on, or some other kind of costume.

Maybe as a blind man with a seeing eye dog
