Overnite, two men arrested while sleeping in their car at a reststop in MD. John Mohammed aka John Williams and his stepson Lee Malvo. Mohammad is thought to be the likely shooter.

Pat Brown also stated that the perp(s) would be found to have a home base in Montgomery County and another base in Fredricksburg, VA accounting for the areas the shootings took place.

It may be that they had help in those places giving them aid and shelter, but so far I don't see that she was correct in her "professional" opinion.

The good news is, they (probably) caught the sniper. The bad news is, this is not good for minorities civil rights in this country...

Sniper and the Media Spin: CONVERTED TO ISLAM!!!!
Well, the whores at CNN are at it again. Or perhaps I am just being overly sensitive. They of course are literally creaming themselves over the arrest of John Allen MUHAMMAD, and have deliriously reported how he is a CONVERT TO ISLAM!!!! He had expressed ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENTS after 9-11 and the attack on Afghanistan!!!!! So much for objective reporting, folks. The media seems intent on fueling public outrage moreso than it should be by making this a militant Islam thing, rather than what it truly is: An ex-military kook who served during Desert Storm, who is into guns and martial arts, and training camps to teach you this stuff right here in good 'ole USA. Sounds like the M.O. of a good number of people of a certain political affiliation we all know and love. Now suppose this was some white guy, who recently converted from, oh, I dunno, Christianity to the ancient Jewish mysticism Kabala? And he goes kooky and starts killing people at random? You think this religious affiliation would be chanted like a New Speak mantra over and over by the media? I'd warrant the answer is "NO."

Channel V's son?

[SkyPilot]

Dog,

CNN International here led with:

"Sniper is a former soldier and Gulf War vet."

[FootBall]

Back seat folded down; the hole was concealed by was big enough to sight through to shoot!

Do you have a link for this?

These guys stopped by the Police in traffic jams probably.

Police not putting Graphic out on this Car early in Case is biting police in butt if this is true.

[tomkat]

Car has a trap door to shoot from!

folks, i really hate to say i told ya so ...

[Howlin]

MSNBC!

[Grampa Dave]

So are you saying that many BP's (not British Petroleums) are MINOs, (Muslim in Name Only?):)

My wife has added real Vanila Coke to my shopping list today! I told her about the Diet Vanilla Coke and she about threw up and accused me of verbal spousal abuse by just mentioning Diet Vanilla Coke. She has a friend who said to buy the Real Vanilla Coke in a plastic bottle. Since we have real Coke and real Vanilla Syrup, I will try mixing some on my own.

[Chemist_Geek]

Pat Brown is on MSNBC - saying she was not suprised at all Mohammud fits the profile ...blah, blah, blah

Which "profile" that the media has been selling would that be, Pat, the angry-white-middle-aged-male or the reclusive-loner-white-teenage-videogame-player?

[Howlin]

There was a glove stuffed in the hole, per Pete Williams on MSNBC!

I don't see how the police have time to investigate anything becasue they spend so much time talking to the press!

"If he is no longer married to the kids mother how can he still be the stepfather?"

I guess not legally, but relationships are not always legal. If this turns out not to be a stepson from his last marriage, I wonder if it could be the son of his girlfriend (reported he has one). If not that either, then this guy is just a kid who travels with him. More strangeness.

Since we have real Coke and real Vanilla Syrup, I will try mixing some on my own.

Do you have real Bourbon?

[berkeleybeej]

And this car is his girlfriend's car...did this trap door stuff require modification? I want to know about the woman.

[FootBall]

Car has a trap door to shoot from!

I wonder how many times these guys were stuck in the roadblocks and drove on through. Talk about blending in?

[TomGuy]

FoxNews also reporting a tripod in the car (for use with the "gun", apparently).

[alisasny]

Ok the New Black Panther leader who died a few years ago was "KHALID MUHAMMAD"...Quanell X is alive and well.

[Chemist_Geek]

I go to the store and all this twitchin' and growin' is goin' on...someone mistake the Allegra for the Viagra???

Allegra, Viagra, a few different atoms in the molecule... Slap a different label on the bottle and ship it..!

[Howlin]

That's exactly the word Pete Williams used, "modified."

[dinasour]

I believe Malvo is Mohammed's stepson.

Someone should "ask the Iman" if it's forbidden in Islam to bugger your step-son.

Excerpt form an article posted 17 OCT 02:
"The lull means he has family obligations. They would notice if he was missing," Brown said. "Plus, killing is hard work. He might have taken a break over the weekend to sit back and drink beer. Then it's Monday, and he's back at work."

The sniper is probably out doing delivery work or construction work, she speculated: "He comes and goes to work. On his way back, he might nail someone. People need to look for the times he is delivering and note his routes."

Brown said the shootings do not seem to be the work of a terrorist.
