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.

The "incompetence" might be intentional. It frustrates the shooter and may cause him to do something stupid. It also buys time for the authorities.

I'm guessing he's a much better sniper than he is a "deal closer."

"...maybe you're just looking for something to carp about, huh?

I imagine he is floundering as we read this.

Perhaps he should clam up.

Signed...

Or perhaps, more accurately, as a plea for illegals to not be afraid to come forward with information.

Now I understand....sorry for being so dull. :-( Is it surprising to you that the reward money for information isn't being dangled a bit more before the public's eyes?

Right, if he is thinking a domestic account is a serious, workable possibilty then he is no where near as clever as I gave him credit for being.

DH and I were also talkin' about this over coffee. What's with the domestic account? Seems monumentally stupid.

Oh and I think EVERYBODY short a few in your clique understand EXACTLY what you meant.

Some of us here actually manage to make friends. Novel concept, I'm sure.

Whenever anybody makes a remark like that the first thing that comes into my mind is that they've more than likely been socially rejected and have "issues" with it.

Somebody back up the thread explained what I meant. Nobody but you has taken exception with it, but then you take exception with most anything you don't agree with.

'Xactly. DH thinks they ought to go along with it. Should not be too difficult to trace it right back to him and/or his.

I mean it would be a mighty impressive figure at my house but in perspective it seems pretty small. LOL

I know you were hjust making those puns about fish for the Halibut, but I think by some fluke you did not get them all. I know some fish puns hard as Haddock to think of but Crabbing about the difficulty does not cut it. A Dash of humor is always a good addition to any thread on that you can bet your Bass
