Has anyone noticed that Chief Moose has stopped asking for the public's help? Only Bo Dietl, who is popping up on all 3 cable news channels, is begging the citizenry to form block watches, look for suspicious activity, and use the hot line. He's convinced this is how the sniper will be caught.

Can't wait for the Chief Moose vs Judge Ito celebrity boxing match.
Afterwards, they can have a press conference and refuse to answer any questions.

Don't give up on the planes. They have many ears, and can travel fast and cover a lot of ground. They may detect something useful before there's a flash.

Duh, how could there be a connection? Was "God's Sword" among them?

...that makes me think again about the missing French sniper. He's foreign, he's missing, he knows how to shoot at a distance, and is presumably not Muslim.I think this is the work of a team of local Arabs, some of whom are very familiar with the locations of retail sites and of streets (and alleys) and traffic patterns.

Check out this interview from CNN. (Sorry I haven't figured out how to post URLs so they are clickable.)
These points he makes would seem to rule out a foreigner who would be unfamiliar with the environment.

I'm no expert on Eric Rudolph, but I doubt a guy that bombs abortion clinics would also kill kids. That's a big disconnect. But arent the feds also looking for Eric Rudolph for the Atlanta Olympic bombing as well. Children and older teens there as well. Could be that he got mean from living alone in the mountains for past six years.

I woke up this morning to the news of "The victim of the day"!
To: John Jamieson
Duh yourself. That connection has been discussed already; in fact I was just reading it further back on this thread when the announcement came over the radio, for the first time.
It sure seems to me that the release of some prisoners COULD be part of their demands.

"Your children" makes it sound like a terrorist. Someone not american. Ya'll gonna hav to giv this terrorist stuff up sometime, I know you want an excuse to bomb the devil Sadam but this shooters gonna be lilly white and edgamacated. I could be wrong.

There is a better way to do this. The U.S. could simply rattle off a list of a dozen or so major cities in Islamic countries that must be evacuated within 48 hours. Imagine the bedlam that would result, even if nothing happens after the 48 hours are up. If the attacks don't stop, pick one city out at random . . . I agree with this. Give 48 hours notice, then show them who they decided to pick a fight with. It ended WWII and it can end this. I really am fed up with that fight over there. It has been going on for millennia, and shows no signs of ending. There will never be peace in the ME until someone shows them the wall.
To: GOPJ
"so foreign"? Oh, don't you worry, we've had plenty of good ol' All American nuts. Like this guy:

Or the ones I posted about earlier who kidnapped a school bus full of kids and buried the whole bus outside Coalinga CA.
Them foreigners might speak and look strange like, but that don't mean that they've got an exclusive on doing them there strange things.

The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified federal agents, said the letter was poorly worded, bordering on broken English. Red Herring?

Red Herring?
Cops being fooled?

Alternating White <-> Black shooting pattern....
# 6-14 shootings....
Below is the pattern I notice which has been broken on the 13th shooting. I guess the guy felt he need to break the pattern to throw off authorities. In my mind it obvious what he is doing.
I think the terrorist sniper is out to destroy what America is about. The consumer, Freedom of movement without looking over shoulder. He is using the race pattern/symbolism below to make his point.
Alternating White <-> Black shooting pattern....
# 6-14 shootings....
14 Black Male (bus driver)
13 White Male (black/white Pattern Broke after 7 shootings)
12 White Female (per news conference)
11 Black Male
10 White Male
09 Black Boy
08 White Woman (I think this was a woman at Michaels)
07 Black Man
06 White Woman
1-5 Shootings was Meant to generate Media and Police attention.
The only clearly Non-Black/Non-White people that got a shot. An Indian male had United states flags clearly marking his car. The Latino Woman was sitting outside a United States Post office.
I'm thinking the Sniper is shooting people equally who
are mostly associated to Historical America...White and Black race.
I'm thinking this could be Terrorist related
To: Doubter
Then I guess I misunderstood you, I am sorry for that. No need to apologize -- I wasn't very clear about it myself. The problem with breaking-news threads like this is that the lines between the story at the top and all the "hypothetical" ramblings of people like me tend to get blurred.

To: Doubter
We aren't releasing ECOSNIPERS, or NRACowboys from GITMO are we?
Last year, bin Laden swore in a videotape that "we will work with all-out power to free our brother, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and all our prisoners in America, Egypt and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)." One of Rahman's sons, Ahmed Abdul Rahman, was in the videotape and urged Muslims to "move forward and shed blood." The northern alliance announced Thursday that it captured Ahmed, who goes by the name "God's sword." Bin Laden and other Islamic militants issued threats as to the consequences of a conviction of Rahman, and more specifically threatened a violent reaction if Rahman ultimately dies in a U.S. prison.

Or was that another INS miscue? That was another INS miscue. That dude was from the ship that docked in Norfolk, Va. There were 4 of them, and I heard of 3 of them being caught, (one of them surrendered) but the last one could have been caught by now, and maybe I just missed the news about it. Not like it would have made front page news anyways. I caught the news on the other 3 by luck actually, small print page A-15 in the paper or something like that.
To: Grampa Dave
However, if they had data that convinced the Richmond Schools to close, the lack of closing in other areas makes me wonder. Did the Richmond cops share the data with the school board, and that data was not shared in Fairfax and Montgomery Counties I thought the message at the Ponderoza shooting made a specific warning to the Richmond Schools. It was not given to the public although it was given to school officials who closed the schools. The warning to "all your kids" came today.

No need to sacrifice yourself Mat. Just be a good witness, maybe get in your car and safely try to find and follow him. Instead of tearful media events, the cops should concentrate on educating the citizenry what to do to make this stop. They should also go back and find the white van and box truck. *Someone* must know who this is.
To: Steve_Seattle
Yes, I think that's right. It's going to take a concerned active citizen to help the authorities. That's the most likely way he'll/they'll be caught or whatever....
