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.

Aint as series as the shower threads they keep me clean! ;-)

Fox reported that Mohammad was sleeping in his car on a Baltimore street. A cop woke him up and told him he couldn't do that. Checked his license, took info on the type of car and plate number...and told Mohammad to move on. Let him go. According to Fox, this info was not known until yesterday by the 'task force'.

[rintense]

Yep. Baltimore police allegedly pulled the caprice over on Oct. 8th and then let him go.

[Kip Lange]

Did I hear correctly that some MD cops actually pulled this guy over around Oct 8th for something else? Then turned him loose. Anyone know what the perp was pulled over for?

Yes, I believe...perps were found sleeping in a rest area on the 8th, cop let them go, logged the event in the police database, and that's actually how they managed to snag them in the end (cross-ref'ing the database, etc).

Thinking to self...

These guys sure love their secret codes. The Tarot cryptogram was real clever...good thing I had my Acme Secret Decoder Ring handy. Now I'm thinking "Caught like Duck in a Noose...CDN?? A Cadena de Noticias, a news outlet in the Dominican Republic??

Anyone...any other ideas?

[Darlin']

I do too. Don't foget those 3 happy, fun loving med students heading to Florida and the med school they attended.

[yukong]

Kinda getting that warm fuzzy feeling right now.

Like I said the other night, my wife could not care less about politics, daily events. Says she "has enough worries in her own life, so I don't need to worry about things around the world or county" or some such. I just don't get that philosophy. I love her dearly, but I don't like that bury your head in the sand notion. I am consumed with gaining knowledge of my world and surroundings.

So, finding like minded people on FR, especially ones who's spouses are like mine, is especially uplifting.

Thanks to everyone.

[mewzilla]

Thanks for the info. Sigh...

[Kip Lange]

That's very weird.

Yep. And wait 'till you see what Nostradamus had to say about it all! (sarcasm mode back OFF :p)

[OReilly]

OBTW, everyone, there's a parallel Chechen/Islamic Moscow Hostage Terrorism commentary/analysis thread ongoing

(W)e (H)ave (C)aught (T)he (S)niper (L)ike a (D)uck (I)nna (N)oose

What's WHCTSLADIN?

My guess is, this was activation code for:
White House Chechen Terror Spree Ladin (al la Nidal)

Some may say, 'get some more Tin Foil Freeper...' but since I started posting this stuff at 7:06 am on this commentary thread, I have already had a courtesy call from our friendly Secret Service. (who always asks to remain nameless)

My guess is, this packet contains enough of the "Hot Button Words" that NSA vacuums for, and since this was in English, the response time was only 4.5 hours.

They may be running short of tinfoil at the SS about now, too.

PS... Before replying to this, be sure your Immigration Status is in order.

PPS... The call came right after the guy jumped over the White House fence... and I am not that far away.

"Paging Dr. Howard...Dr. Fine...Dr. Howard..."

[mewzilla]

This is what happens when we rely on technology to replace good old fashioned street sense.

[areafiftyone]

[Darlin']

Spooky stuff, isn't it ? Creeps me out and makes me anxious, too.

[rintense]

Just so you know, the daily dose isn't just for women... we have a lot of Bush Bucks who roam there too!

[Sacajaweau]

I'd guess they want to get through a little more of the forensics and put out "exactly" what they want into the media "AT THIS TIME".

I doubt if the cops are convinced that these two guys are the entire crew.

Sac

[Kip Lange]

Yeah, but "street sense" at that time was saying: Look for a white box van, not a blue chevy caprice (although it was mentioned off/on here and there)...don't blame tech. ;-) Tech GOT 'em in the end. :-)

[Freedom2specul8]
