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.

[looney tune]

Great - now you're making me drool!

[Mo1]

These guys are nailed, and he knows it.

I sure hope so

[Yaelle]

all the places where the sniper lived. They have his name.

I bet that is it!!! The idiot somehow gave something away in his communications with the cops and they have his name!!

[valleygal]

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!.

I'd sh!t a brick if this had anything to do with immigration.

[Peach]

The shootings started on 10/2

[Dog]

I checked ...they started on Oct 2nd..

[Elenya]

I'm really confused now.

[rintense]

You'll always have friends here, valleygal.

[dinasour]

GO, MOOSE GO!!!!

I too, may owe the man an apology. This could forever change the tone of moose and cheese threads on FR.

[SarahW]

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...

[Mo1]

You know, my husband just can't understand why I spend time here

Well tell him to become a Freeper .. LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

MSNBC has a neighbor on the phone now.

[rintense]

Hmmmm...

[kari]

no, but how else would they know where to look?

[SarahW]

What does the neighbor say?

[valleygal]

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

[rintense]

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

[AmericanInTokyo]

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.

[Howlin]

Well, well, what do you make of THIS turn of events???
