My take from Moose's comments is that the shooter wanted the statement read accurately. Moose said something (need transcript) that leads me to believe it was the shooter who told Moose to let everyone know their children weren't safe.

Moose HAD to read the words of the murderer's statement because the shooter has verified the threat.

This morning the killer killed a bus driver within 1000 feet of a school.

This fact stated by detective on Fox News.

I think the shooter told Moose to make sure to read the PS.

We don't care whether you have confidence in Bush or not; this is NOT the thread for that. Lord knows there are a million other ones on here you can vent that on.

Didn't get it verbatim, but got parts of it. He said

We have 2 major points.

We have recieved a communication. We will be responding soon.

Then he reiterated his earlier thing about how the person or people had hit all races, genders, and ages on different days and at different times.

Then he said they would not share the rest of the letter they had received last weekend because it was not "public specific" (or something like that), but that the letter contained a postscript which read verbatim: Your children are not safe anywhere at any time.

That's all I got. Sorry.

I see it as a veiled threat to LEOs.

And to school buses.

If he is a single sniper, a paid one, or even if he is a militant terrorist with a supposed religion-based driven agenda (I would focus on the 'supposed' word, then I doubt if he even cares about things like 'we' do. This person isn't like us or he wouldn't be doing it. I doubt if he is even like a serial killer in origin, b/c he would be more likely to be caught. Serial killers always kill more and more. If he shoots more than one time, he will more likely be caught. He is shooting and immediately taking advantage of the chaos to make his exit.

Since this all started, this is the first time I've cryed.

Last week a strange car was parked across the street from our school for a few days (I got the license number and turned it in) and found out the week before some stranger was taking pictures of the school.

Looks like I'll be doing some homeschooling for awhile.

I like the First Lady just fine, but why, in heaven's sake, could she do a better job of comforting the children than their parents could? Un;ess their parents have allowed themselves to surrender to their own fears?

"expert" on CNN saying all parents need to go to schools and daycare, etc., and check out "line of sight" around the schools.

Experts on TV, are just playing experts and you should know that. They are going to release nothing unless it is a liability issue, even if more people die while they keep all info secret.

We have recieved a communication.

Presumably a letter or tarot card left at the site of this morning's murder.

Thanks, Lion's Cub. So Moose said they had another communication. I don't think he meant the bus driver this morning. I think the shooter called the phone number established and told him to be sure to read the post script.

"And to school buses."

My first thought this morning was whether Montgomery Co. uses public buses for school buses as is done in some cities.

So with the Sniper saying "your children are not safe anywhere, anytime", what do we do now?

Does this mean that kids are targets, not just in school, but on playgrounds, sidewalks or Halloween? I think that is what the message meant.

So unless we keep them locked up, we may as well start sending them back to school?

He is not only a Monster, but a coward who kills innocent children.
