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.

Didn't I tell you all that the press was going to throw a collective fit because NOW it's all about them.......they're use to condescendingly reporting on things that happen to the "great masses".....well, now the shoe is on the other foot, and they want some A-C-T-I-O-N.

Wonderful! Who would have ever though one man could have so many problems of such great magnitude thrown in his lap at one time? God bless President Bush and help him continue to lead our country with dignity and honor and without fear.

Do you know which Tarot card was marked "I am God"? Ostensibly, this would be the card that he identified with the self in a Tarot reading. I wonder if there has been any consultation with people knowledgeable about Tarot.

Since when does the president get involved with serial/sniper killers? We have had them in our country before and presidents have never gotten involved. Bush has too much on his plate to worry about this. That is what our LE is for to investigate and solve this NOT the President. No Serial/Sniper killings are solved right away sometimes they don't get solved at all.

What was the probable cause for the arrest? Did the sniper set these guys up?

They called the 'secret' number. Yes.

I'm nearly certain of this because they've been muzzled from the public and media; they'd tell how the shooter played the cops for fools, with them as uninformed dupes.

Reportedly, the death card was left at one scene with the message "Dear Policeman, I am God."

if I shoot a School bus driver like this Ride-On driver. And if the bus is going 45 MPH, 20 body bags is a minimum, no?

I don't think he can shoot that well.

I presume the operation was done by a heart sturgeon using a sharp sculpin.

the shooter maybe could have walked somewhere close by and caught another bus.

Very clever.
