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.

[Stop Legal Plunder]

Freepers- Repeat after me (and George Bush) three times.

Islam is a religion of peace...Islam is a religion of peace...Islam is a religion of peace.

I don't know about you but I feel much better now.

[Mo1]

What did the tipline say??

[blam]

My first thought when I saw your mayor was that he had puffy eyes from drinking to much last night.

[HairOfTheDog]

Anything North of the Mason Dixon line is New England in Alabama?

[tomkat]

There have been Freepers calling for war on Islam for days!

'days' ?

btw, it's already started.
early days ...

Looks like the media is getting things wrong again. Moose was saying hardly anything last night at his press conference and all of a sudden this morning this whole story.

[justshe]

HA! I just got him to give up his 'mad' over the Tallahassee ballot caravan......lol.

Right before he left for work today he announced he has changed his mind and does NOT want the USA to invade Iraq. My mouth fell open....and I said WHAT????

He said YEP!...says he simply cannot stand to listen to the 24/7 war analysis that will result. With that, he turned and walked out the door.

I may have to cook dinner tonight.....LOL.

[wewillnotfail]

yep, they did. also heard that the print came from a piece of paper involved in the AL robbery, But now this AL guy is saying there wasn't even a robbery ....a murder and a wounding.

[ZinGirl]

they asked for more info: time, etc. thanked me for info.

[areafiftyone]

Okay Islam is a religion of peace, Islam is a religion of peace, Islam is a religion of "rest in pieces"

[tomkat]

Boy - did I feel bad.

it'll pass ...

[mondonico]

Have the Black Panthers ever killed other African-Americans in this manner?

The original Berkely-based Panthers killed an African-American school official in California--might have been their first publicized murder.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh I know.... but who knows which tip is the right one... till the end. The thing you are looking for is always in the last place you look, not the first.

I am in "praising mode" on the police work in this case right now.

[itsinthebag]

had anyone noticed that mr. mohammed did not shoot any african-american women?

[Mo1]

Reporter asked .. Does Maryland have a death penalty?

The officers says .. I don't know, but I know Alabama does!!

[commish]

yep, they did. also heard that the print came from a piece of paper involved in the AL robbery, But now this AL guy is saying there wasn't even a robbery ....a murder and a wounding

Ok time for me to go do some searching of the WSFA and WNCF websites ... when this shooting happened it was very much reported as a Robbery/Homicide.

[Freedom2specul8]

I thank God too... We are very blessed! Mine are 20, 18 and 14...

[blam]

"Anything North of the Mason Dixon line is New England in Alabama?"

In Mobile, we call people from Birmingham, yankees. lol.

[OXENinFLA]

But now this AL guy is saying there wasn't even a robbery

That's not what I heard. He said something about a officer being accross from the shooting in AL and saw the shooter going through the vic's purse.

[AndyJackson]

I am picturing every white-truck-with-a-rack-driving white guy that found himself kissing the pavement on the highway last week on the phone this morning with his lawyer...

I know. Talk about bigoted racial profiling.
