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.

Anyone figure out HOW these two were able to view Moose's messages if they were living in their car?

Did I miss something? Why do we think they were living in their car and not just spending one night "away"?

[Sacajaweau]

I think that's what was going on last night...they kept putting Moose off...pretty tiring on a couple of pretty "already tired" creeps. I'm inclined to think the cops were just around the corner waiting for them to drop off. It sure saved a showdown if it's the case.

I believe they just said it incorrectly.

Jamaican is not hispanic.

They did more than say it incorrectly--these two in no way match the description of "olive skin" or hispanic.

[tomkat]

later, all.
work beckons ...

Television displays in department/electronics stores?

[Mo1]

OK .. off topic a bit .. but is Linda Vester expecting a baby??

[slimer]

Sorry if this has already been posted to this thread. I haven't been able to keep up - damned plumbers!

Suspect is Illegal Alien - was in INS Custody

[Darlin']

Just heard Mohammed and Malvo met when they both were living in homeless shelter last year in the Sea/Tac area.

[TexKat]

John Williams Mohammad is not Jamaican, possible born in Louisiana.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

"Do you have real Bourbon? "

Ever try Stoli Vanilla in Coke ??

[dinasour]

There is a link between Belefonte and Mohammed

Harry Belefonte is Jamaican. I bet we never find out who this kids father is.

[Caribou]

I haven't read all of this thread, but has anyone theorized that the white van/truck could have been used as a decoy and the shooter was in the Chevy (which they now find to have had a hole in the trunk). If people heard a shot and looked in that direction, they would see the van/truck because it's bigger and ignore the car. When the van/truck is stopped, nothing would be found that would link it to the snipper letting the real shooter get away unnoticed.

It appears the liberal press are going to make the military look like a terrorist training organization from some of the things I've heard on CNN (broadcasted over WTNT-AM out of Washington, D.C. which can be found on Windows Media Player).

Lots of Talk radio stations up in that area. Probably carried all the news conferences.

Seems like one night they spent in a Econo-Lodge in Richmond around ashland, va shooting.

I fear we are doomed due to the PC world in which we live , there is another agenda here...

Couldn't be more true...I thought after 9/11 there was 2 choices...I assumed that either most people would wake up and realize that the PC/diversity/tolerance/appeasement crowd was wrong and would become irrevelant for all time OR the United States would plunge deeper into a "diverse"-utopian-socialist-gungrabbing-libertytaking-Nanny-police state all at the hands of the fed gov.

I suppose the latter has a much better chance. Obviously the fear of profiling, offending and deporting is much greater than the fear of losing ones life to a bunch of radical fanatics who want us all dead.

[TexKat]

Well alright, lets put it this way, they are not blood related, their only relation that we can see at this point is that they are co-murderers.

[carenot]

I am struck that both of these guys are named "John". I recall that in the film "The Adventures of Buckeroo Bonzai across the 8th Dimension", all of the aliens were named "John". At the time I figured it was a joke, but maybe they were on to something. Is it possible that these guys are aliens from the 8th Dimension?

Naw, I think they were all named David. (Or was that Paul?)

[cyncooper]

He also does not match the description put out yesterday about "hispanic descent".

I am questioning the sources the media uses when they decide to run with certain information.

Also, John Williams Mohammad was being described this morning on some stations as Jamaican as well as the boy. (I am not saying he is.)

Again, my questions are regarding media accuracy.

[slimer]

Obviously the fear of profiling, offending and deporting is much greater than the fear of losing ones life to a bunch of radical fanatics who want us all dead.

Politics as usual - we're doomed!

Are you hearing FOX right now?

You may have been right about that big guy being her bodyguard!
