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.

Rush, The Trees
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples,
And they're quite convinced the're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can"t help their feelings
If they like the way they"re made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can"t be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream "Oppression!"
And the Oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

That area of Tacoma is called the Oakland district, and as memory has it, there are a number of oaks about a block from that duplex, along center street.

I really can't take much more speculation on this case. It is making me so crazy yet I cant stop watching. HELP!!!!
The optimist in me is hoping that the media has messed up this case and will be called to question.
FORMER FORT LOUIS ARMY GUYS HOME

Some members of the Indian tribe nearest us have married Hispanics. Their children would be both Indian & Hispanic. Some of the tribe members near us are bilingual--English/Spanish--as well as knowing some of their Indian language.

Reporter on the scene from King 5 in Tacoma says they took out stump, a large pile of wood, several bags of trash/debris and some rose bushes (???)...

"FOX confirms it is the former home of a Ft. Lewis soldier "And perhaps the other searches are at former residences of this guy. Military folks move around a lot.

Just got home and haven't read anything yet. Has anyone pointed out that Semi Osman was involved in this area? Excellent call. I was not aware of the specifics, only a general idea that we had discussed an al Qaeda connection in the area. Thanks for the information.
To: spectre
If he's not in custody, they really need to come out ASAP with a wanted poster of his face. How hard is this to figure out? We're not rocket scientists here and we know. Well, I DID sleep at a HOliday Inn last night.

Glad somebody saw it! This thread is moving so fast, I didn't think anyone had. Everyone see 1927 if you haven't already. Semi Osman (now in custody) worked in Tacoma--this may be a terrorist cell connection

Found this;
# The term "Hispanic" comes from the Latin word for Iberia, Hispania. The term become widely used in the late 1970s when the U.S. Census Bureau adopted it to describe persons in the United States who are descedent from Spain or from a Spanish-speaking country in the Western Hemisphere.
Hispanic is based on history and geography rather than on racial or ethnic categories because Hispanics may be of any race -- African, Asian, European, and/or Native American -- as long as they can trace their ancestry to Spain or one of its (former) colonies.
