Just got back from court. (took longer than I had hoped). Have scanned the posts since I left. Major point I see is the threat to kids. I must say, and please hear me out on this..., I am again disappointed in the LEAs. They are again playing into the hands of this sh!t. Reading that part about kids. First off, it would take a real pinhead to not believe that kids, heck anyone is not safe. But now, reading that, is going to create more chaos. As if it wasn't bad enough. Now, the shooter could go for days, weeks, heck, never shoot again, but everyone is still screwed up. Take a deep breath. This doesn't change a thing. Except reinforce to me that the cops are LOST. They are attempting to negotiate with this guy(s). Bad mistake. Just showing our weakness. Just showing we don't know. I go back to an earlier post where I said the cops should keep their mouths shut at the least, or maybe even lie. Make the sick f*ck think that maybe they have something. Bluff if they have to. Make generic statements like, we are making great progress, etc. Make him question himself. Make him start worrying that he has made a mistake. If he is made to believe he made a mistake, it will bug him. It will make him paranoid. And it will make him think he has lost control. IF he gets to that point, he will make a mistake, and we will get him. We are just letting him run the show. We are just letting him see how impotent we really are. It blows my mind.

I agree with you...this a$$hole has proven 13 x's over that NO ONE IS safe...at NO TIME...

This is why I don't think this letter is from the sniper...I think someone is trying to capitolize on this situation.

And the LEO's releasing this post script will now put the community into further panic mode.

I just heard (msnbc) the shooters are asking for MILLIONS of dollars.

Welcome back and I totally agree.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your posts, as far as anyone can enjoy anything related to this case. I find your insights and clear-headedness refreshing and reassuring. Could you maybe volunteer for the task force? ; )
