"The guy from the Nation of Islam is on O'Rielly's show .. I notice he is not wearing his suit with the stars on the shoulders and no body guards standing behind him."

The stars are on the shirt under his jacket and the bodyguards are just off camera.

Nation Of Islam ... Calypso Louie's bunch. Muhammed worked as a guard at the Million Moron March for them.

Also, that opens a whole lot of questions as to why Muhammed was in Alabama. If you go over toward the Selma-Marion area, the locals around here like to say that as you cross the Edmund Pettis bridge you go from Alabama to Allah Bama.

The usual rethoric, the most honorable elijah mohammad, etc.

I don't know, I don't like Chief Moose, never did, most likely never will. I don't mean to offend anyone, but that is my opinion. I can't forget Janet Reno and Bill Clinton got him that job.

Here is a small example of what has been pent up and how the military have been helping us all out. The use of military bases for athletic events has been one of these security measures that pretty much stayed out of the press. The following is quoted from the Fairfax County Public Schools web site: http://fcps.edu/news/emerg.htm

Based on information from the Montgomery County crime task force and the Fairfax County Police Department, Fairfax County Public Schools will resume a normal schedule, including outdoor activities, beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 25.

FCPS scheduled athletic events will remain at military venues for Saturday, October 26, and Sunday, October 27, due to logistical issues (e.g., scheduling officials, providing transportation, moving equipment, etc.). We regret the inconvenience to athletes' parents who are unable to attend their children's events due to the strict security policies at the various military sites. All athletic events are scheduled to return to FCPS sites beginning Monday, October 28.

Schedule of Events

1. Cross country district meets will be conducted at Fort Belvoir (South Post golf course). The Patriot and National District meets were held today, and the Concord and Liberty District meets are scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, October 25.

2. Field hockey makeup games scheduled for the Quantico Marine Corps Base will remain at that site. Twenty games will be played on Saturday, October 26, and 20 additional games will be played on Sunday, October 27.

3. A football makeup game involving Stuart High School will be played Saturday, October 26, either at Fort Belvoir or at Stuart High School.

4. Varsity football games will resume Friday, November 1. The remainder of game dates will be released to the press in the near future.

The FBI is looking for a man in New Jersey believed to be a witness in the wave of deadly sniper attacks.

Nathanel O. Osbourne, 26, who co-owned the car in which two suspects in the case were found early Thursday, was believed to be in the Camden or Trenton areas, FBI spokeswoman Linda Vizi said this evening.

"In no way is he a subject of this sniper investigation," she said. "We believe that he would be an excellent witness."

She wouldn't elaborate on what Osbourne might know.

Earlier in the day, two people were arrested in investigation. John Allen Muhammad, 41, and a boy were arrested at a Maryland rest stop as they slept in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice, with the New Jersey license plate NDA-21Z.

The car was co-owned by Osbourne and Muhammad, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Muhammad registered the car in Camden on Sept. 11.

Both men had listed their address as 1400 Sheridan St. in Camden.

Moose in his own way telling us nothing, but telling us something. My words---we need to be prayful, watchful and vigilant. We now live in a different world.

Muskateers. :)

This summer when Mohammed visited his family, he just showed up one day unannonced ith Malvo. Called his family who live in Scotlandville, a suburb just outside of Baton Rouge. None of them had seen him in 10 years. He and Malvo both had backpacks only. They only stayed a few hours in one location and a few more in another. He insisted that they stick to their diet which was royal honey and crackers along with various vitamin and mineral supplements. Relatives said Malvo didn't seem happy, seemed a little afraid. Also they had never heard of him before but that Mohammed called him his son. They also said he wanted to use the computer to look for a gun that he wanted to buy.

That is so sad. I used to celebrate New Years Eve in Selma. Had a great friend who gave that annual party. She lived in one of those great old historical houses. It was always alot of fun. She died a few years ago, way too young, and way too good of a person to lose. It's sad to learn about that area. I truly had no idea. I've learned alot on these threads.

It is sad. That area is where the Black Panthers hid H Rap Brown while he was on the run. He was arrested at a farm not to far from Marion.

My son has a football game over there tomorrow night. Last time they played in Selma, the Bus had bricks thrown through the windows and players were punched and kicked as they left the stadium.

YEA, God love your heart, that is wonderful. I didn't bother you for information, as I didn't have need of it, but appreciate your kindness in offering it to posters. Thanks.

"I hadn't thought of it, but if they suspected the killers were black (and Muslims, too), then having Chief Moose out front would help tamp down any anger from any communities directed against 'the Man' picking on one of 'their own'."

I don't know about that...how many of the victims were black? About half?

Throughout this case I've said the only pattern is a total LACK of a pattern...except that the victims were American citizens, at least naturalized American citizens.

See? I had no idea any of that was going on over there. I am not that far away, you know. We are having increasing troubles over here in Meridian.

NEVER FORGET

..LIAR ..TOM BROKAW.. told America that the U.S. 7th Cavalry massacred over 400 Korean Civilians at the Bridge of NO GUN RI in the opening weeks of the Korean War in 1951.

...Major ROBERT L. BATEMAN in his outstanding book titled:


..'NO GUN RI: A Military History of the Korean War Incident'


...and JOSEPH GALLOWAY in his NO GUN RI Investigative Reports in U.S. New & World Report Magazine...


...proved that there was NO SUCH MASSACRE, none, zip, zero.


Friend of HILLARY RODHAM( who is running for President of the United States) ..TOM BROKAW.. has never retracted his false NO GUN RI story and has NEVER appologized to the past, present and future members of our protecting U.S. 7th Cavalry for spreading it on National TV.

WHY NOT, I ask...???
