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.

Whole family was gunned down .. Daughter and Boyfriend dissappeared. But Now that I thinkof it that happened near Greenville, Al which is a good distance from Marion.

I just got a long distance phone call and that's what they are saying on the local news there.

[Elenya]

LOL! Now that you mention it, sure feels like it.

[rintense]

I will say it again...

1. Does the handwriting on the notes/cards match the anthrax letters?
2. Jose Padilla- of hispanic origin and an Al Qeada member.

FORMER RESIDENT, who was trained at fort something, former military of a house in seattle washington is under suspicion.

CNN - ... from Ft. Lewis, home of the Army Rangers. The 'suspect' is NOT a ranger - 'just' a regular GI.

Is it? Shoot, I don't want to go back through the thread to see what the guy on MSNBC said. It was either shocked or stunned.

[slimer]

Sounds like "it" is fixin to hit the fan. Please don't ask me what "it" is? I haven't a clue.

[livius]

Thanks for posting, commish. Great research skills!

Ping to everybody for #2715. Important info.

I'm impressed. You spelled mneumonics correctly. You weren't stumped.

"This is going to be a LONG night."

I never thought I'd say this but, tonight and during basketball season, I'm glad I live on the left coast. ;o)

[edayna]

That is not possible, electronically.

ROFL...okay, maybe they can use an 800 number or a PO box, then.

[MasonGal]

But - but - Chris Whitcomb -on MSNBC said that it was NOT terrorism or Al-Queda
