Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

I just wanted to thank all of you for the encouragement and the kind things you said. I won't worry about it anymore. Promise.

You know, my husband just can't understand why I spend time here. He says it's not normal to be friends with people I don't know. He just doesn't get it.

I come here because I can "talk" to people who have similar thoughts (most of the time!), discuss politics and current affairs, have fun and pray with others. I can do it here because most of my friends don't have the time. Not that WE have the time either. Here, we're all just addicts.:)

Thanks, again.

And Fred, yours was my favoite. "How ya doin' big mouth.?" LOL, Fine thanks!.

If there was GONNA be an AQ link, I always thought it would turn out to to be related to the "lesser than" cell arrests on the fourth.

One of the stupid heads that got away, wreaking revenge, and all that. They were all such stupid brutes, mean and stupid...

According to Fox news (local Wash. DC) there are raids taking place across the country related to this. Anyone?

FOX keeps stressing Moose's plea to illegal immigrants. Maybe that was the 'GROUP' he was refering to on Oct. 15th.

You do recall that for the first time (just the other day?) in one of his press conferences to my knowledge, Moose slipped and said 'person or people'. He was always before that talking 'singular.' When he said that it hit me like some bricks. Anyone else? Just like when he said, "don't want to characterize the individual for fear of painting a whole group and creating problems for them."

He knows a lot of course, but has been told along with hundreds of others to button their lips. Things can and do slip out, though.
