Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

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.

Any relation to liberal shill and black racist Julianne Malveaux?

Probably not...but wouldn't THAT be icing on the cake!

>>they can actually be trained by Americans, on American soil, to kill Americans. Now THAT would be stunning.

Not really. Lots of stories all year long.

The camp is privatly owned and anyone who wants to pay for it can get trained there. If MEs are funded, they can actually be trained by Americans, on American soil, to kill Americans. Now THAT would be stunning.

Not that surprising; training, just like a firearm, is a tool and can be used for good or ill. I don't know what "training" went on there at "Camp Ground Zero," but for an example of what's available (and some non-LEO friends of mine are taking this weekend), look at Massad Ayoob's Lethal Force Instituite Schedule.

Maybe Wiiliams aka Mohammed was given an offer he couldn't refuse in the Gulf War.

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

I was livid with the use of the word 'militia' in the news reports, too. I know that's who they desperately wanted to be responsible and they will likely still try to run with it - hoping to make some political hay with the 'current events impaired' portion of our society.

I'm no lawyer, but I don't think you can just ignore your statement (unless you are a democrat!).

Oooh Hair. Twice in one day...

Well, according to the ABC News story, the one in Marion Alabama is called Camp Ground Zero and so you know that one was formed or at least namrd after 9-11.

No news conference that I know of. I think they have cancelled 2 so far.

Have to get all the garbage cans out to the street (life goes on...). Catch you all a bit later.

I am really impressed with all the info people have been adding in here tonight! Thread's moving too fast to say thank you to everyone individually.

Wow. We as freepers know this. But have these stories been told to the masses via broadcast media? I think that the sheeples would be stunned.

A spokeswoman on fox a short while ago said that Muhammad (aka Williams) has a record. She didn't have any more info on that.

Prison conversion?
