[Peach]

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

[slimer]

"These people" he said "these people"

[mhking]

This is a terrorist attack. Moose is trying to tell us that. But the stupid reporters can't understand it.

Moose can only say so much. He's following two scripts: the feds and the bad guys. Hell of a tightrope if you ask me...

[MTCJK]

He said it again: "Dis person or dese people"

[Dog]

I am the only one who thinks we are in deep doo doo here???

[Howlin]

I wondered yesterday why Ari even commented on this.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Moose is refusing to even answer questions about threats to children. The presstitutes are feeding the frenzy among parents here. I work full time as do many other parents here, and it will be a nightmare if they close the schools because of some sketchy threat. Just because the note may have been in a trick or treat bag does not mean we should jump to the conclusion that the shooter is intending this as a threat to shoot more children!

Good grief, these reporters just will not let up. I am a parent and I am not panicking about this!

[MasonGal]

Nope - you're not alone - I'm with you. This is bigger than we think, I bet.

[valleygal]

"I remember as a kid in the 60's"...Me, too. we must be close to the same age. We were out for hours by ourselves and had a blast.

I don't let my kids do 1/4 of the things we did. I may be overprotective but I've stopped apologizing for it.

[2Jedismom]

You following this thread?

[Freedom2specul8]

Actually, if I interpreted that correctly...he was advised to not report to the media about the threats to teh kids. The proper audience would be the school administrators..and it sure sounds like that is what happened.

[mhking]

he kept talking about we as a nation

I'm afraid that something really nasty is in play. We need to keep our heads up -- all over the field, not just in DC.

[MasonGal]

Me too, Howlin - I wondered the very same thing.

[TexKat]

Moose keeps reiterating that he has been very clear. Media does not get it. He said the Taskforce is doing the best that it can. In other words at this point that they can do no more at this time.

[laker_dad]

It was suppositories---and the actor was the "doctor" on Love Boat.

then I guess it would be ass-pirins! (please don't ban me!)

[Mo1]

IMO .. I think he is afraid to say to much in fear of setting the sniper off

I don't think they have a clue how to stop him/them

[mhking]

I am the only one who thinks we are in deep doo doo here???

Deep, smelly kimchee, indeed...

[Howlin]

Somebody on another thread said the police asked the press NOT to report the threats against children, but, of course, they did it anyway.

[livius]

I'm also taking the police exam soon...

Best wishes to you. My daughter is a police officer, btw, and she tells me that not even half of what really goes on makes it out to the press. Which is probably a good idea...but in any case, there's never a dull moment.

Stay safe!

[CJ Wolf]

no you're not the only one dog.

[slimer]

Sorry, ""deese people" he said "deese people"
