[Peach]

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.

OMG if he pops a newsperson

I'll bet Dan Blather, Peterless Jennings, Tom Lockjaw, and Jerry Rivers are not doing any "live from the Exxon station" reports.

[Letitring]

THAT is what is making LEO's begin to admit there is more than one person involved.

[ET(end tyranny)]

If police suspect its an illegal immigrant they can go around arresting all the illegals and they might snag the sniper. Easy Enough?

Gets two birds with one stone, too.

[justshe]

You ALMOST had it.

1. Add a < A in front of your href...WITHOUT the space between the 'bracket' and the 'A' but WITH a space between the A and the href.

2. And also add > after the url.

3. Type HERE and then < /A> without the space as in #1.

Your link will then look like this HERE

Clear as mud?

There could well have been illegal Hispanic immigrants on the scene at the time of the murder. If you drive around the major streets in Montgomery County around dawn, you see a lot of illegal laborers on the sidewalks waiting to be picked up for work in contractors' trucks.

[harpseal]

Not this eal but if you are an attractive female we might be able to work something out.

Stay well - stay safe - stay armed - yorktown

simular

I love it! Better watch out before goes nukular and we loose everything. (Above not intended as a slam, just enjoying others intentional or unintentional gramatical problems.)

[dinasour]

That smelts.

[TexKat]

GWB is on laying down the law to anyone that would harm our children.

[ARCADIA]

That may be why Moose is acting dumb. To try to rattle this conceited loon.

I think that may be why Moose says he couldn't comply with the demand to transfer the funds.

Has anyone ever had a real bad series of customer service experiences and finally wrote a letter to the CEO of the company, documenting everything that had happened?

I worked for Amex and can tell you that those kind of letters were seething with rage and they were from relatively stable individuals. Affluent; good credit rating.

[stlnative]

yes and it might mean there is 2 of them - but the context on the tarot card fits in with what was written in the letters, the handwriting does not match though. (sorry I have been up all night and I should have mentioned that the tarot card handwriting was just different but the context was along the same lines as in the letters.

[Letitring]

You are so right. They are so brave and resourceful, I would hate to lose one of them, ever. They are truly fine people. I met some of them at Mardi Gras in New Orleans several years ago. They were so clean cut and such fun, had a different outlook on life, just special people, really.

[wewillnotfail]

yeah but carping about it is crappie

[stlnative]

I have been up for 24 hours and I am going to lay down now due to my poor spelling ;-)

BOOKMARKED AREA

[aristeides]

The French lieutenant could well be a Jackal.

[justshe]

Makes you wonder...is the info ACCURATE that CNN is reporting....and how much are they paying someone to leak this info.

[WRhine]

You know sometimes your handwriting changes. I know mine can be neat one day and the next day it is like I have a totally different handwriting. How did CNN find this out anyway?

A good handwriting expert can see the similarities of various writings samples by the same person if that person attempts to alter their style or, due to their mood, writes differently.

[johnb838]

Well I've suggested it too... Guarding the gas pumps isn't going to stop a sniper. You have to extend the perimeter. You have to think about where the sniper could shoot from. You have to break the territory down into squares and assign someone to each square to watch and wait, then when the balloon goes up everybody meet at the perp. But I think that the key is dividing the territory up into manageable chunks. And... (btw) I know they don't have enough manpower to do this. Thats why we need to screw PC (posse comitatus) and call in the army, at least the National Guard.

Has anyone noticed the repeated PCs in this case:
PC = Police Chief
PC = Press Conference
PC = Posse Comitatus

And we all know dat other thing it equals. Any other PCs I'm missing?

"The phrase most used to discount ME terror is the use of "I am God", with the reason being that no Muslim extremist would ever utter such blasphemy. A huge assumption is being made in this case. Muslim extremists would seem to not be the type to go out an booze up and indulge in strip clubs, yet we know the 911 terrorists did exactly that. Not exactly the actions of a devout Muslim. "

Exactly! I got the impression that the suicidal mission, the fact that they would volunteer for this, would save their lives for living such a "sinful" life.

[Fred Mertz]

I discounted that earlier, but now I'm ready to reconsider all options, even the tarot cards which I've pretty much ignored as pertinent evidence.
