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.

But I got a feeling it will be BIG!!

Not just BIG.... stunning.

[MasonGal]

Just heard it on Fox, too - the gentleman is saying that it is para-military training camp. Great just ask, "Who owns it?"

[Slip18]

I knew that, it just wouldn't come into my addled brain. He was a detective with LAPD. I've met him. It's another story.

[snippy_about_it]

Fox now saying it is a police and military camp, that's all, been around for a while, shooting range, sniping range, training area privately owned. NO MENTION OF THE AQ!

I'm no lawyer, but I don't think you can just ignore your statement (unless you are a democrat!). I'm afraid you will just have to eat your mousepad if these terrorists turn out to be AQ.
HOWEVER....
You if you did not specify WHICH mousepad you will eat, there is still time to prevent a bad case of indigestion. I believe a moonpie would make an excellent mousepad, if you hurry and get one before this is settled, you won't have any problem keeping your pledge.
Hmmm....moonpie mousepads....this just might catch on.
;^D

(now to catch up on the 600 posts that have probably appeared in the time it took me to type this)

Another "steps of the Supreme Court" moment, perhaps? "Looks like a victory for Al Gore"!!!!

[Darlin']

"I think I said last week "If this is AQ terrorists I will eat my mousepad" I don't want to eat my mousepad. Is that a binding statement"

FOFLOL. Hilarious. Been there myself.

[American72]

that Whitcomb guy on MSNBC has come right out and said point blank that it is NOT terrorism or AQ-related.

How does he know exactly? Does he hope by saying that enough times it will be true?

[Howlin]

He says it's on the "up and up"...........I think he's wrong.

[mhking]

FINALLY Cnn just called him John Muhammed!!! They have stopped saying Williams.

Who's anchoring over there now, Aaron?

[MasonGal]

Oops - Great= Greta

[relee]

CNN has Nothing on the Alabama raids!

Of course they are still calling the illegal aliens arrested in Virginia, 'undocumented workers'.

[Mo1]

Fox is discussing Camp Zero and what happens there

Camp Zero is privately owned property .. anyone can go if you pay for the course

[TexKat]

John Mohammad and Lee Malveaux

[abner]

Col. Hunt obviously doesn't know what he is talking about.

[swarthyguy]

Propaganda Alert -- The Fix is in. Will be sold as a militia camp. Jihadi Militia, but they'll leave out the first word.

[MasonGal]

I guess so.

[Slip18]

Nice find, Rob!

[aeronca]

What THE heck was that exchange between Greta and some x-military guy about the camp???

[Peach]

Haven't heard the t word (terrorism) yet out of any networks - channel surfing and could have missed something - but they'd be talking it up like crazy if they had linked it. I'm telling everyone - if you have the e-mail handy - cut and paste info provided on this forum re the AQ linkage to the militia camps.
