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 had two martinis and switched to merlot. I want to sat awake!

Hubby i snoring on the couch while Shep Smith goes on and on. LOL! I hope the case is broken while he is asleep...it will serve him right!

[Peach]

Spit. And I did it tonight reading the tree jokes, but it was tonic and not as ugly as cranberry juice.

[mystery-ak]

LOL....Im smokin and chewing Nicorette(sp)

[slimer]

Are you looking at MSNBC. This is going to be the biggest bust and the American people are going to be shocked.

No I missed it. What happend???

[Howlin]

I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG night!

[Elenya]

Hah! I have half a PACK stuck in my mouth! ;-)

ROFLOL!

[Catspaw]

NO! It's Florida redux--truckin' those ballots to Tallahassee....

[Letitring]

Darn, I had almost quit. Just sent out for a pack. ROFLOL.

[Yaelle]

I also can't imagine what would stun us. We have thought of everything over these past weeks. We know it's not AQ or MET now -- just a couple of Hispanic American military guys gone evil. Maybe there was some very fancy policework to trip them up -- might that be the "stunner"?

[spectre]

Wow, will they close off the Freeway...Nope, it is going with a Police escort...cool.

[Dog]

Remember the scenes of the Ballots going up the FLA highway....LOL

[Peach]

I don't know how you're doing it, Kim. Just told my husband we're going to break FR. Or maybe it's me that will break. I don't know, I'm confused.

[valleygal]

What did I miss? They just said something about "it's a safe way to call them suspects" .

[Mo1]

I want to sat awake!

sat awake ???

[Hatteras]

"I was never ever frightened
By the murderer on our block
He nurtured orchids and raised hamsters
The neighborhood is still in shock......
La, la, la, la, la..."

[berkeleybeej]

"persons of interest"

[Kip Lange]

I understand, I hate MSNBC (and the rest of them) too, but you made the "give them ratings" comment and I responded with a fact. No offense intended, hope none taken.

None taken. Actually, I like being called when I make a vague statement. Keeps me on my toes verbally. ;-)

[Howlin]

Look at your typing in 2341. Cut back on the merlot!

[Darlin']

Don't leave your chair. I went to the kitchen for just a few minutes and now I can't get caught up.
