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.

Why were they in Marion if not the camp?

Exactly. It's another example of AQ using our freedoms and resources against us.

[rintense]

There's no doubt in my mind that FOX has a presence on FR. Last night, Rita Cosby was the first to call Camp Ground Zero a terrorist training camp- after we'd been calling it that since Marion was revealed to be one of the FBI warrant areas.

The middle is a son, the other 2 are girls. FR is SLOW right now... I'll check in wid ya later. :)

[areafiftyone]

That is my thought. Black Panthers were going to get involved with the hunt for the killer when they found out he shot a black person but they quickly backed off. I am thinking they realized it was one of their own.

[Doc Savage]

Spec, don't believe any of this. I have it confirmed by none other than Kimmie (Kimchee, The Kimster) that Westerfield actually pulled the trigger!

Just getting online this AM. Sorry but I haven't read all the nearly 700 posts, so this may have already been mentioned, but....

It looks like both theories that have been bantered back and forth here for the past couple of weeks are correct.

This was a home grown, wacko, freako, sicko, nut-case, and it had ties to middle eastern terrorist (Islam). The only difference, that quite frankly I didn't see coming is that the sicko, nut-case was a black guy. Not usual to see blacks just randomly killing other blacks. I know from my years of LE that black gang members do kill other blacks, and I do know that most murder crimes in black communities are black on black...., but, not many random, serial type murders are committed by a black on blacks. Just didn't see that one coming. Looks like the profile manuals will be re-written on this one.

Oh, by the way, Goodmorning everyone.

You have a cold???

[freeperfromnj]

Mine too. That Oregon cell did weapons training at a shooting range in Washington state.

Steve Ducey

He gets some good sound effects in some time. I saw one morning FNC was running a clip of SADDAM, the one that shows him kneeling on a prayer rug. Just as Saddam was leaning down Ducey bust in and says "That's it bend over" infering the USA was(is) coming to F him up.

[Sunshine55]

I think you're right, I've felt it ever since the .223 casing was made public.

[Doc Savage]

20-18-14?? How do you ever find clothes to fit you???

[Freedom2specul8]

Still trying to live up to your name I see... poor sense of oh what is the word I'm looking for..comprehension.

[Sacajaweau]

I just love them "taking down" the stump. Kinda looked like that was not their expertise.

If that's the case, Rita - keep up the great work!

[commish]

I can't see Emory Folmar ever making that mistake?

Ahh for the good ole days. No Emory would not have made that mistake. I still remember sitting in shock as the returns came in, and Bright was winning -- the guy was an idiot then and is now showing the entire country how stupid he is.

[mhking]

You have a cold???

Yeah - the baby threw up all over me Sunday, and I've been going downhill since. Yesterday morning, I stayed at home (computer on and FNC on the tube) and played nursemaid to myself. I'm a bit better today, but nowhere near 100%.

[HairOfTheDog]

That Oregon cell did weapons training at a shooting range in Washington state.

Where?

"There's no doubt in my mind that FOX has a presence on FR. Last night, Rita Cosby was the first to call Camp Ground Zero a terrorist training camp- after we'd been calling it that since Marion was revealed to be one of the FBI warrant areas."

We kept emailing them last night. Some Freeper named Deb even called and talked to someone at Fox News about the Alabama camp. They finally mentioned it on TV.

[rintense]

Howlin also called them and told them about the camp. But FOX has also used the exact same items on their newscasts- mainly Fox and Friends- that are on FR.
