Sniper Search near Seattle (digging for evidence)

Local NBC News Channel | Oct 23, 02 | MSNBC

[spycatcher]

MSNBC reporting sniper related digging and searching of a building in Tacoma WA. FBI is involved. May be related to something the sniper told police

okay....I did not go thru all the threads....but....

how could anyone practice shooting in that yard? ....way too small...

now, there was an assasination a year or two ago of a US attorney...one that was a big democrat and gun confiscator.....can't recall the name....but could that shooting have been done with a .223 ????

[aristeides]

Before I start reading this thread, I'll post what I just heard on Chris Core's WMAL show: duplex home being investigated at corner of Center and Proctor Streets in Tacoma, WA; former Ft. Lewis soldier used to live there; he used to practice firing into tree stumps in his yard; among things FBI took away was a tree stump.

I wonder if there's any connection with that Arab in Tacoma that was both a Naval Reservist and the head of a mosque that's been in custody for months on suspicion of his connections with people like the Ujaama brothers and the radical London imam Abu Hamza al-Masri. What was his name? Semi Osman, I think. I wonder if there's a connection.

[NewLand]

Bingo! Uujaama connection...my first thoughts immediately.

His remaining free while killing ten and shooting 13 argues forcefully against your young boy theory, don't you think?

Is it a black helicopter?

Actually, this is unrelated to sniper case. Al Gore is still looking for votes.

bah dum-dum! (is that the right drum noise?)

Just wondering about the recent internet denial of service attacks .

We've been hearing that terrorists were planning and were capable of these kinds of attacks, i.e., electronic, suburban terror (malls,etc.)

I have a couple of stumps in my lawn I could have removed. Maybe I'll call in a "tip".

They interviewed a guy from the neighborhood on msnbc with the Achy Breaky Heart guy's hair. I didn't know anyone wore that haircut any more. BRIAN-Fox. Searching for various locations around the country. Tacoma may well be replayed at other locations. Just may take US awhile. No arrests expected. All about gathering evidence. It is without a doubt a request from Federal Law E agencies that may lead them to evidence. May be just a big stab in the dark. Trying to match ballistics evidence. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE SNIPER HAS LIVED IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING Md.

Someone must have told the LE where the guy's lived in the past. BET THEY KNOW HIS NAME but that would be against his rights as a criminal to tell us who the sniper is in case we might find him such as on a Wanted Poster or APB to the public. Or even John Walsh could have us all looking for the guy. This way, the guy can go somewhere else now and continue his evil ways because WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE OR THEY.

[seeker41]

Yep, gotta agree. I've thought it was the "T" word all along. Now, I'll feel silly if that turns out not to be the case since it has been admitted.

[marajade]

Doesn't Tacoma have a criminal statute that its illegal to shoot a gun within city limits?

Wouldn't someone report him doing it?

[Howlin]

Some forensic guy on Fox just said he's upset because the police are publicizing this. I would bet good $$$ that they didn't, but that some neighbor called, what do you think?

[marajade]

No... But it is kinda spooky...

[William McKinley]

Mr. Turvey-

Have you considered the fact that the police may know where this guy/these guys have been but not where they are, and that by announcing that they will be serving warrents, they may cause this guy/these guys to communicate with associates to warn them to get rid of some stuff? And that the police may have the phone lines already tapped?

[snickeroon]

Also, what about the internet attack? Think it also has a connection? Servers down....many based in DC area? Thoughts?

[RobRoy]

'Course they're stuck in traffic. It's the Seattle Tacoma area during rush hour.

[vikingchick]

babelfish----Could be. The feds should check that out.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Please, the police aren't idiots. I'm certain that they are being thorough, and what you have suggested crossed their minds long ago.

>>There are over 200 cells in the USA<<

Get 'em OUT!!!

1) Cease the issuance of visas to nationals of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, and Yemen.

2) Cancel all existing visas and residency permits for nationals of those countries.

3) Transfer INS Interior Enforcement, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard to DOD.

4) Establish Office of Border Control and Interior Enforcement at the Pentagon, US Army four-star reports to Chairman JCS.

5) Establish concentration camps for internment of all enemy aliens (those who have not voluntarily departed when their visas and green cards were cancelled).

6) Screen all enemy aliens and deport those who are not serving a vital national security interest by remaining.

7) Arm the unorganized militia of the United States.

8) Hunt down and capture or kill all those not interned or deported under above rules.

This is May 1940, boys and girls. The phony war, the sitzkreig, is almost over. Nothing has been done to prepare us for what is coming.
