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.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these guys are NOT the snipers. There's a connection though. Just not the actual snipers.

ABC news is reporting that John Allen Muhammad was dishonorably discharged.

Which is where the federal weapons charge comes from. Persons who have been dishonorably discharged are legally prohibited from possessing or even touching a firearm or a single round of ammunition.

don't answer the door.
f*** the tipline, call your local cops.
if you have a firearm, load it.
don't panic.

it's likely nothing, but stay alert.

[twntaipan]

Ah, but they were white guys-- it's okay to profile white males.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Wow - we haven't heard that lately. You've added so much to this discussion.

Since McVeigh came from a Roman Catholic background, and Oswald, Gacy, Bundy, etc. all came from Christian backgrounds, are we to assume that Christianity is evil?

Give it up - this is not a case of a Jihadist - he's a loser nut like those guys.

[freeperfromnj]

He's speculating that a terrorist (Islamic) connection will be found.

I believe it will all end up in a Northwest cell connection. They need to follow the training camp trail. We had James Ujama scouting for a training camp in Oregon, you had the Portland cell busted, all Americans - Battle in the Reserves. John Mohammed has a Northwest connection - and then there's the Alabama training camp, the owner Brittish. That camp was allegedly used by terrorists to train for Jihad in America. That story disappeared into the woodwork only to resurface at this time. I posted the link to that story a few times because what they trained for in Alabama was quite similar to what was happening in MD. There is also a Camden, NJ connection - we still need to find out who the owner of the car is.

[areafiftyone]

You could be right. They could know who he is. Didn't Moose Man say last night that these guys are not wanted for the sniping incident but just were wanted for questioning?

[CatoRenasci]

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

They're not damnyankees unless they're from North of the Mason-Dixon line, I suppose?

[MasonGal]

off topic - I know - for those who complain about getting off topic on these threads - but do you have sons or daughters? Just wondering...:))

[wewillnotfail]

OK, I missed that...a clear sign that I need fresh air.
Be back this PM.

[dasher]

***Yeah, but be real. There have been Freepers calling for war on Islam for days!***

Of course we want war on Muslims that want to wipe us out and destroy our country. But Jamaica? Those guys are too laid back to worry about. :)

[livius]

The Black Panthers were thought to have killed a number of African Americans who made the mistake of not agreeing with them. Or of even just of getting in the way of some of the Panthers' other illegal activities (extortion, fraud, etc.)

[Carolinamom]

I'm still curious about the source of their money for gas, food, ammunition. Even staying at an Economy Lodge cost them money.

[SternTrek]

Maryland is BELOW the Mason-Dixon line.

[Sunshine55]

I hope and pray you're wrong, but if you're not, we'll know soon...

[alisasny]

“Fight against them… until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued” (Sura 9, verse 29 - Koran).

Any word on if they are devout Muslims?

Any word on them being possible "Manchurian" candidates?

[Mo1]

Good job letting them know

[tomkat]

he said '...but alabama sure does.'
and he said it with a bit of a smile ...

[Chancellor Palpatine]

The feds do - they can give the needle in Terre Haute over the FBI analyst, I think.
