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.

[cyncooper]

Did Moose really have another tantrum?

No.

[Mo1]

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.

OK .. he isn't Mohammed son .. nor his step son .. be apparently Mohammed was involved in a custody case with the boys mother ..

WHY???

None of this makes sense

[Darlin']

Yes, I'd like to hear about them, too Bless their hearts. I'd also like to hear from that wonderful man who spotted then at that rest stop last night. He and another man blocked their car in with their vehicles til police could get there. Did you hear he has declined the reward money ? Wants it to go the families of the victims. He is a hero in my mind.

"...Well, there go all your Italian friends..."

I'm not much for being 'PC' or mealy mouthed, that's true...

My take is that, if you're Italian, and this offends you, you're too thin-skinned to be worthy of your Roman heritage, and too much of a wimp to be my friend.

[poppyseed]

Aw, thank you! : )

[Darlin']

FOFLOL. I didn't see it but I feel certain he did.

[Katya]

"He took the child from his second marriage and left the country."

Did they say where he went?

[hispanarepublicana]

Tonight, I'm actually trying to spend time w/ family, so please be patient w/me and indulge me by answering the following as I realize they've probably been covered:

1. What's this reference to the "5 Red Stars" band that Moose made during his conference? I googled it and found little or nothing.

2. I just heard Hannity say that his wife's friend was a witness to one of the shootings, and that there is ALOT that is not public yet. What does that mean? (also, did Hannity color his hair?)

Thanks.

[commish]

The carribean is all I have heard ... HMMMM maybe JAMAICA?

[Mo1]

he said that Moose blew up at the press and stalked off after they kept asking questions he'd told them he wouldn't answer.

Well Chief Moose did say he wouldn't some questions .. but I would not say he stormed off

[commish]

Five Red Stars is a Jamaican Rap Band ... Malveiux used 5 red stars at the top of each letter as a signal to police that it was from them. The first Cryptic Statement from "Word is our Bond" is the Title of a song by the band.

[Darlin']

No, Mohammed had custody issues with both of his ex-wives. Apparently he lived with Malvo's mother for a while and the kid, and mayber his mother too, were here illegally. The boy was held in INS custody but released to the custody of his mother in January of this year pending his INS hearing in December.

[Darlin']

I believe it was somewhere in the Caribbean.

[cyncooper]

I just heard Hannity say that his wife's friend was a witness to one of the shootings, and that there is ALOT that is not public yet.

I stepped away for TWO minutes and missed this.

(also, did Hannity color his hair?)

After reading your post I peeked at the tv and it does look very, very dark--LOL.

"That's all that mattered. They were killing Americans. Simple. IMO, this isn't about race, it's about religion. Any moderate Muslim voices (and there are some) have long ago been silenced. They lost the microphone. Now, they are as frightened, maybe more so, as we are. These radical muslims don't care about skin color, IMO. They care if they can use Americans, if not, they'll kill us. Oh well, I'm preaching to the choir. I'm sorry"

You go right ahead and preach. The only Americans they DON'T target - except in the sense that (**best Mob Voice**) "Ya NEVUH goa gensta Oweganization an' LIVE!! NEVUH!!"

Don't be sorry, and DON'T stop preaching. Get the word out. Black American CHRISTIANS have GOT to stop inviting Louie the Loonie to take time out of his busy schedule on the Mothership to go into their CHRISTIAN CHURCHES, just so he can peaach his message of hate against WHITE Christians to them. HE HATES THEM!! THEY'RE CHRISTIAN AMERICANS!!!

Egads...I've been saying every day for over a year that we are all in the same boat

[Mo1]

Well Mark has a point ..

I could see if they went from robbying one store to another .. but to jump to playing target practice with innocent people on the street .. what caused them to do that and how did they come up with that idea??

I know I won't get those answers anytime soon .. but I do wonder

[bcoffey]

"I know I won't get those answers anytime soon .. but I do wonder "

Nothing happens in a vacuum.

[cake_crumb]

I salute you, soldier. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

[Katya]

Makes sense, particularly in light of the statements made that he had known the kid since he was 13...probably met the mother and son in Jamaica.

[OReilly]

That was the lamest news conference...

You didn't think the NAACP and Janet Reno selected candidate would paint any group... or cause any group to be misidentified, Blah, Blah! You must know that we have a minority majority here, no? (With Muslims a big part of it).

OMG do you think Echelon caught that?
