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.

YOu know I have to say, I've known some very nice Nation of Islam converts

There they go again, Brian Wilson on FOX just said camp ground zero connected to militia groups! D@mn.

[MasonGal]

The just keep mentioning "militia"!!

[dixiechick2000]

Yep...the link I posted goes to a story about the same camp.

[Wordsmith]

OK, I'm gonna take a breather. Thanks!

[WestCoastGal]

I think people in the area should be very careful until these guys are caught. They are cornered or close to it and will probably go down fighting. Taking hostages or taking out a group of people all at once.

Be carefull!!!!!

"Free the Tacoma stump!"

Man over 3000 post on this tonight. I have some catchen up to do. I got up this morning and said to myself I sure hope this doesn't start happened in my neck of the woods.

And here I am driving home thru Tacoma tonight and sure enough. They take a stump away back to the east coast in retaliations to the shooter in the DC area.

How weird can you get.

[TexKat]

Has the stump been read its rights?

[HairOfTheDog]

the arrest warrant was a paperless one out of respect.

Ali Mohammed was one of the leaders of al Qaeda (and in the U.S. Army for several years).

[slimer]

My eyes are gazing over - I'm so tired - but I can't seem to tear myself away right now!!

LOL! My wife told me I have big dark circles under my eyes.

[Lobbyist]

I swear, I know nothing. It was the weeds I tell you. The weeds. They ratted me out.

[looney tune]

It doesn't get any stranger than this!

[Fred Mertz]

WMAL now: Caprice: NJ plate NDA-21Z

Do they have a physical description of the two occupants, other than age 40 and age 17 (and Jamiacan)?

[HairOfTheDog]

"what did the other bushes know and when did they know it?"

STOP! - I am trying to get caught up! - LMAO!

[JDGreen123]

There was Elijah Muhammed. I remember a football player named Calvin Muhammed.

[Freedom2specul8]

You are right.. that was offensive!! He's offensive just being himself! :P

Kim - there's a thread on FR right now called Camp Ground Zero - Marion, Alabama. I've bookmarked it. It's the old ABC show transcript or some variation - mentions AQ in the first sentence or so. We should all save it. Question: How do I crop (you can tell me tomorrow - know it's busy tonight) so we can send to various news outlets? Would prefer they not see our comments and screen names.
