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.
Oh, Noooooo.
I am still curious about the Hispanic descriptions that seemed to percolate through the earlier part of this case, as well as whether Matthew Dowdy (bogus witness) had any connection to Muhammed.
I will try to catch up when I get home!
Answer: They have a hole in their car for end of rifle and didn't drive a white truck. They blended in.
There's one thing that doesn't make sense to me about this hole in the trunk. Okay, how could someone take aim with a scope on the rifle through a hole in the trunk? Have they said how big this hole is? Hasn't it been confirmed the shooting was done from the wooded areas?
You're right. Hew was born in New Orleans and frew up in Baton Rouge. Malco is Jamaican and an illegal. He was in INS custody in January of this year but released in the custody of his mother until his official hearing in December. Apparently, Mohammed and Malvo met while both were living in a homeless shelter last year.
You can bet that they are going to blame this on everyone and everything else but. The gun confiscators will use this to further their agenda to disarm Americans, the ACLU will blame it on his upbringing and they will be just a pair of loners who went bad.
*looks guilty* Why'd you say that? I've never asked a woman if she's pregnant only to find out she's not. ;-)
My car, a small 1992 Toyota, has a fold down rear seat with an opening into the trunk.
An Atlanta man says he knew sniper-suspect John Muhammad and described him in an exclusive interview with 11Alive News.
"When I seen his picture I say, 'Baby, I know this guy. I worked for him in Tacoma.' My wife didn't believe me," Johnny Campbell told 11Alive News.
Since hearing about the arrest of Muhammad, Campbell has closely watched television coverage of the sniper investigation. He spoke to 11Alive to convey a message to the world -- don't blame Islam.
He worked for Muhammad's express lube business for four years in Tacoma, Wash. At the time, they seemed to have a lot in common -- both men were in the military and both were muslim, he said.
"It shocked me. It really shocked me. I couldn't, didn't believe it, but then I had been saying all along that you know whoever was doin' it in D.C. had to be someone out of the military and an expert at it," said Campbell.
Campbell described Muhammad as a Gulf War veteran trained as a sniper.
"He was the type that was sent out to spy upon the enemy and kill at will."
Campbell also said Muhammad was a perfectionist with a short temper, who harbored some resentment for his role in Desert Storm.
"I did hear him say once or twice about the way the the government was sending us over there and using us as Guinea pigs and bring us back. He was kinda upset with the government for that."
However, Campbell said he never imagined that his former boss and fellow Muslim could have had any connection to the sniper case.
"I'm really stunned. I don't know what could have happened. I really don't. I know it's not the work of Allah that made this happen."
Campbell said he wanted to make it very clear that if Muhammad is the sniper his actions go against the teachings of their religion. Campbell said Muhammad must have had "a breakdown."
Campbell said his boss was married with three young children. He didn't recognize the name of the second suspect arrested -- Lee Malvo -- who is said to be Muhammad's step-son.
GOOD SUGGESTION.
I wonder if the cause of converting Americans to islam is going to hit the floor after this. Ya know--like a "conversion slump" a "downturn in the market"
Me, too, and I have to keep rewarming mine.I just thought about something. Moose is really going to catch it from Belafonte. Moose will not be fit for the outhouse in Bellafonte's eyes.
I'm not even going there.
Doesn't surprise me that the loonies will try to find fault with the nilitary... Hope they do, 'cause this is the wrong time and wrong President to try that er, uh...that stuff around.
