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.

Adjust your tinfoil, your paranoia is showing.

I don't know - it could work the other way too. If the press has their way this wi ll be portrayed as the usual white supremist sort of thing, and then the libs will demand more gun control. As though that would stop these people. I feel like screaming.

[TexKat]

I have a super duper mouse pad.

[ladyinred]

Tin foil flames coming your way.
Clinton did say OKC bombing saved his presidency and got him reelected! :[)

[snickeroon]

PLEASE mean that, and let me help in any way possible. I'm over this country not only being led to slaughter but helping in any way possible to make sure it can be done faster.

He had a business card in his billfold from this militia

I don't think Americans will buy the gun control crap. Look at how gun sales have skyrocketed since this started.

[Freedom2specul8]

But that militia is mellow..

[Katya]

The 17 year old must be the one previously enrolled in the Bellingham high school. Any word on which of these guys is not american?

[swarthyguy]

BIG HEARTY CHEER FOR THE HARDWORKING LEO's, eh.

Raise your glasses to the salt of the earth!

[Mo1]

Well I never trusted either one

[Peach]

We will probably need to start writing/calling our legislators if this is portrayed incorrectly in the press and the feds don't go far enough in their connections to AQ. We ARE NOT going to have another OKC.

[Slip18]

Thanks, relee! I can't believe this is happening so quickly tonight.

The place in Marion was apparently run by Brits and trained bodyguards and various and sundry folk who needed to know how to defend themselves and perhaps kill others. Apparently it also trained dedicated jihadists...

[mhking]

I'm back, kiddies. Looks like quite a bit went on while I was away...

Isn't the Al Qaeda training camp in this same area of Alabama? (Yes, I'm coming in late, and no, I"m not going back to read the last thousand notes)

[Freedom2specul8]

LOL!!!! That would be hilarious..

[bcoffey]

"I don't think Americans will buy the gun control crap. Look at how gun sales have skyrocketed since this started."

I agree. People are beginning to realize that they themselves must take responsibility for their own safety... well, for their own lives really!

[swarthyguy]

You're fast! Answered the same thing...40 posts later. LOL!

It's that olive skin.....
