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.

"Are we FReepers really gonna be stunned? With all the theories we've been brewing for days? I don't think so. Wanna bet? "

Naaaw, somewhere on one of a dozen threads we must have the answer. LOL

"Oh, I get it! If you don't iron it, they can't wear it, and if they can't wear it, you
don't have to wash it, and if you don't have to wash it, you don't have to iron it!"

The light goes on! :)

Anyone recall Jose Padilla??????

[Slip18]

Thanks, Fred. I forgot about the game. Go Angels!

2 shell casings found at tacoma

She said that the current resident had been broken into, and that someone set his car on fire, but I think this search has to do with a former tenant, not the current one. I heard a neighbor say the current resident is "really nice and has been here the whole time lately"

[Kip Lange]

Thanks, Fred. I forgot about the game. Go Angels!

Whoa, that reminds me -- South Park on tonight. :-) May have to let things "develop" for a half-hour without commentary (screw you, sniper, I'm going home).

[looney tune]

Search in Bellingham WA earlier today.

[Howlin]

They searched a school in Bellingthame? One high schooler and one older guy!

A young man and an older man, not related.

[Elenya]

You're right. I can't imagine what scenario would "stun" us.

[Dog]

Another search was conducted at a school in Bellingham WA..early today.

[mystery-ak]

...try paint fumes...works for me!

btw....Im having a cigarette right now....nananana!

[valleygal]

"I caught your mention last night....And haven't gone thru the whole thread... but
does this match what you heard last night?"

I don't know yet...it depends where they search.

(I know "nussing" I tell you, "nussing")

[Darlin']

"...they are interviewing the neighbors"

Whose neighbors ?

[bcoffey]

"And I gave to iron shirt to charity .."

LOL!!!!

[Fred Mertz]

If the Angels win the world series Armageddon will come to America within a year-and-a-half. That's what a good friend of mine dreamt a number of years ago, so I suppose I'm cheering for the Giants even though I'm an American League fan normally.

I haven't followed much baseball since I became a FReeper.

[Slip18]

That's what I was trying to say. My fingers are clumping up. They're looking like little stumps.

Don't say anything else funny. I'm now having a Vodka and Cranberry Juice. Cranberry juice can be very ugly when spit (spat?).

[Kip Lange]

You're right. I can't imagine what scenario would "stun" us.

Er...extra-terrestrial snipers? :p

[Peach]

I just don't think I can open that browser, Kim. I've got whiplash and just can't keep up here! I'll try - another sip of vodka - another keystroke - oak-y
