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.

I think this whole thing could really blow up into something really big.

We're already there, IMO.

Thank you, after you mull it over for awhile, feel free to speculate more. :)

The first post of this thread seems like it was weeks ago. What an excellent site, Free Republic. I don't mean to start a donation thread or anything, but if you haven't helped the cause with some $$ to Jim, please consider doing so.

he's a U.S. citizen with rights. Can't label him anything right now. If he's innocent, he'd bring himself in pronto, right?

Moose is charging Muhammed and Malvo on lesser charge???
Only unlawful discharge of firearm?

To get them to give up???

I found this one: USA COED INK ON I think it means to look for tatooed American babes.

I like your anagrams much better than mine.

[Freedom2specul8]

I don't like any of this....

[Route66]

Are you running the whole sentence through the anagram finder?

[bcoffey]

I'm calling it a night. Stay safe, friends.

[Doohickey]

Did you say good night about 40 posts ago? :-)

[marajade]

My guess: Mohammad shot the gun in Tacoma before he sold it to the shooter who also robbed the liquor store in Alabama...

[Bella]

Could very well be explosives..remember they said our children are not safe....

[aeronca]

"I think this whole thing could really blow up into something really big.

Yup and it may come from a white Isuzu or a Chevy astro--like big explosion. I don't know why this is not being considered a threat when the Chief came out and said "danger that may not be connected to the sniper".

[Freedom2specul8]

G'nite Bcoffey..I'm thinking it's time to grab a book and escape.

I agree Kim, this is the most unsettled I have felt during this entire sniper episode. There are some many possibilities present. And all but one of them are scary.

[abner]

Yes.

[Freedom2specul8]

Actually I was saying I needed a break for a few.. :) But in reality this whole thing scares me wrt:teh fairy tale.
