Supposedly 6P.

tea bags and muslims -- came across one site with a muslim quote that was somewhat interesting. It said: "People are like tea bags-you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

whoa....don't like the sound of THAT one.....hmmmmmmmm

[justshe]

Kim...Oh.......that is almost SICK! LOL

"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."

The liberal media would love to try to do that very thing, but the guy's name is Muhammed and the kid's a Jamaican illegal immigrant, so it will never fly. Even "spin" has limits.

Moreover, those snipers were arrested in Maryland, which will place a lot of pressure on the Democratic Party governor there to repeal his "moratorium" on the death penalty. In fact, this whole episode will make the anti-death-penalty crowd decidedly less popular (as well as exposing the press' clear bias since they were squealing on and on about the sniper being a white NRA militia 20 to 30 year old Y-Gen kid).

[Darlin']

Sounds about right to me. That would also explain why Malvo showed up at the high school without any transcripts or records from his previous school.

[justshe]

I don't like all this talk about both Maryland and Virginia have 'stays' on the death penalty at this time. Sigh.

[nicmarlo]

"People are like tea bags-you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

That's too weird.......maybe something will come of it; who knows.

[angcat]

did you hang out with denzel washington, thats all i know about mt. vernon. how is central avenue these days, i have not been there in about three years. did some hanging out in new rochell on north avenue during my teen years. i think the left bank was is mount vernon it was a punk club. left yonkers 10 years ago i miss new york but its cheaper to live in pa with the hicks.

[Darlin']

Heartbreaking and disheartening, too.

[rintense]

There is no way the people of those states will stand for no dealth penalty for these guys. Maybe that's why Mohammed chose them- the stay.

[briant]

It seems that the federal penalty should allpy. I think there is at least a provision for it if one kills a law enforcement type, and one of the victems worked for the FBI.

[rintense]

Isn't it also a federal crime when the same person murders people in different states?

[Route66]

FOX news has just reported that 'Ground Zero' (the training facility) has been completely cleared from the investigation. Neither of these two were associated with it in any way.

So much for the desperate attempt to link them with 'White Militias'.

[Darlin']

I wonder if they are getting more media savvy or if something else is up ?

[Caribou]

I've read that his girlfriend is missing and has a white van. There are so many stories going around now it makes your head spin.

The libs won't say a word till after the elections. Then they will demonize the military. By the way, I retired from the Air Force about 10 years ago, Gulf War Veteran and I don't have any desire to do what this nitwit did. So their garbage about the military turning out highly trained snipers that go after civilians is just that........GARBAGE!

[wewillnotfail]

good catch!!
