Chief Moose Press Briefing: Sniper says
"Your children are not safe - anywhere, at any time"

[Alberta's Child]

I think they should pay him the $10 million. Give it to him in an envelope filled with anthrax.

[FootBall]

Moose playing DEADLY GAME with Sniper IMO.

He is acting like they can't *electronically* wire 10 Millions dollars to an international bank account.

I wonder what is the limit for wiring money in U.S. and International?

[an opinion]

Do we need a UN Resolution to do this?

[aristeides]

Why does the killer have to be a psychopath? Why can't he be a jihadi who thinks he is allowed to do anything in the cause of jihad, but who is decent and respectful towards members of his own religion? Plenty of Nazis were normal men in their private lives.

[an opinion]

Nazi's could never be normal!

[Technogeeb]

Now, what group was it that has threatened many times to kill children in the USA?

Planned Parenthood?

I got the impression from the Chief's statement, that the shooter is trying to get the money wire transffered, to thwart and possible set up at a drop site.

Thus your post a though a great idea will not take place.

[abnegation]

Perhaps Carter can "negotiate" another agreement such as the recent debacle in North Korea.

[tall_tex]

and=any, sorry.

"...and that if deemed successful (by them), we can expect much larger and more widely dispersed attacks in the future."

If it makes any difference, I deem it successful...far too successful....

The only way to hunt and kill a sniper is with another sniper. However, this dude(s) obviously know that, and are refusing to fall into any sort of pattern that we can use to track him/them. Shoot, nobody even knows for sure if there is one, two or twenty.

The only way to defend against this sort of thing is to hand out Kevlar vests and cut down ALL the trees...home-schooling may soon become the norm...and telecommuting...

Personally, there is one weapon that I have found to be effective in this sort of thing...intercessory prayer...but for some reason God hasn't taken these guys out yet...

One thing for sure, this time next year, you won't be able to buy a BB gun...hello New World Order.

"He is acting like they can't *electronically* wire 10 Millions dollars to an international bank account."

Security flags over $10 grand.

Moose is playing this by the "Hostage negotiation" rules...let's hope it doesn't blow up in our faces.

It's pretty obvious the terrorist is insisting that Moose communicate with him via public airwaves, and is obviously getting off on the hysteria this is generating.

[aristeides]

I strongly suspect this is a sampling (much like the anthrax attacks) - to see how the U.S. will react to sniper terror in its security stronghold in the D.C. area.

Well, I sort of agree. The Great Satan believes -- and has persuaded me -- that the anthrax is a threat aimed at our leaders meant to deter an attack on Iraq (it's conceivable it's meant to deter something else.) I think the sniper shootings are the same, a limited attack containing a warning of much more and aimed at deterrence.

[aristeides]

And yet there hasn't been an anthrax attack in more than a year.

That's because the original anthrax attack accomplished its purpose of conveying a warning to our leaders.

[putupon]

Do we know it was written in English? Couldn't this be a translation?

no, we don't. But if he is trying to hide his nationality, he wouldn't write in his native language.

[4Freedom]

"I blame the damn Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act."

It sounds like there should be a big warning sign on the side of Linear Colliders.

It might be too late for you, but you could see to it that your children never get close enough for it to have the same effect on their thought processes. ;^)

[Alberta's Child]

And the warning was . . . ?

[Mr. Mojo]

I'm fairly certain kevlar vests don't protect against the very high speed .223 Rem.

[4Freedom]

"Somebody buys your vehicle and drives drunk weaving in and out of traffic and people see the stickers what then

"All my stickers come off when I get rid of a vehicle"

Based on what we've seen these last couple of days, that's sound advice.

[Mr. Mojo]

That's because the original anthrax attack accomplished its purpose of conveying a warning to our leaders.

Exactly....and that warning was "attack Iraq, and expect an (anthrax) attack on a much larger scale."

[Elenya]

Mero, I don't think the snipers are gona like that message. Brace yourself for very bad breaking news tonight and/or tomorrow morning. This is a post and run. Gotta go.
