Are you always so uptight?

Are you too lazy to do a quick search?

interestingly, txrangerette managed to respond to my post in a thoughtful, informed manner. Perhaps you should take lessons.

Perhaps you should get the chip off your shoulder and admit you corrected my post by referencing me to another post WITHOUT verifying the facts. If you had bothered to enter "muhammad caprice registration" into your search engine, you would have been able to verify in less than a minute. Or do you expect everyone else to do your work for you?

1) You are the one who seems to be carrying a big chip.

2) I asked a question, based on a prior post.

3) I really don't understand why you are making such a big deal about this.

Tell you what: You win, I'm terribly, completely and sincerely sorry that I have caused this distress in your life. Feel better? Good. and G'nite.

Montgomery police chief Wilson is the real deal. He was appointed by our last mayor who was a really tough dude, not like the current one. One thing all these news folks are missing is the possibility of these guys traveling from group to group of black muslim/black panther supporters. Big area west of Montgomery where they could have found aid and comfort like H.Rap Brown did.

I am not. It is you that seems so upset by all of this. Without verifying the facts, you challenged my post. Sure my post was impersonal but with reason. Now "take your ball and go home" as your last sentence whines.

Chief Wilson appears to be a real police chief. The area west of Montgomery appears to be a fertile place for the Black Panthers and Nation Of Islam and probably al Fuqra.

Police seek ABC store slaying accomplice

By Bob Johnson
Associated Press

Police are trying to determine if the two Washington D.C.-area sniper suspects charged in a Sept. 21 shooting death at a state-run liquor store on Zelda Road had help from a third person, possibly driving a getaway car.

Police Sgt. Scott Martino said Monday that investigators are examining the possibility that a blue car that got in the way as a police officer chased suspect John Allen Muhammad may have been driven by an accomplice of Muhammad and John Lee Malvo.

"We originally thought it might have just been someone that was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Martino said.

Mayor Bobby Bright said investigators began considering the blue car "in a different light" when they heard Nathaniel O. Osbourne had been arrested as a material witness in the sniper case.

"The investigation is still ongoing," Bright said Monday. "We haven't developed a third suspect yet, but we're certainly looking into it in light of what transpired last weekend with Osbourne being arrested in Flint, Mich."

Bright briefed the City Council about the background of the case and the state of the investigation at a special called work session Monday morning.

Muhammad, 41, and Malvo, 17, were charged Friday in Montgomery County District Court with capital murder in the shooting, in which Claudine Parker, 52, was fatally wounded and Kellie Adams, 24, was seriously injured as they were closing the Alcoholic Beverage Control store at 2690 Zelda Road.

Police said they found a fingerprint, later identified by the FBI as Malvo's, on a weapons publication dropped near a parking lot across Zelda from the ABC store.

Officer Dwight Johnson identified Muhammad from a photo lineup as the gunman he almost chased down.

During the pursuit, a blue car pulled in front of the running men, and Johnson's quarry placed his hands on it to halt his momentum. Police, hoping that they could recover fingerprints from the vehicle's chassis, put out a call for the driver of the car to come forward, but received no response.

Martino said Montgomery police now are working with the sniper task force on the East Coast to make sure Osbourne also is questioned about whether he has any knowledge concerning the Montgomery shooting.

Osbourne was co-owner of the 1990 Chevrolet Caprice in which Muhammad and Malvo were arrested Thursday at a rest stop near Frederick, Md.

They also apparently used their AWAY card at the Y in Silver Spring, MD. According to this morning's Washington Post, the employees there remember them coming in several times, starting in late August or early September (sounds as though they started coming in even before they registered the Caprice in NJ on Sept. 11). Their last visits to the Y in Silver Spring were Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, just after the shooting of the bus driver and the day after that shooting.

Thanks for posting the update on this interesting story.

It does appear that there was a third person, a driver in Alabama.

If they had a third person driver there, they could have had a third person in the DC metro mass murders commited by the demons of the Nation of Islam.

Last night there a report that they returned to Baton Rouge in September after the Alabama murder and shoplifted lots of nutrional supplemts from a local store then sold then to members of the Y.

I consider Alabama my home. I've visited other states temporary because of the job market, but have every intention of retiring in Alabama (Mobile). You're right, an Alabama jury would probably not convict, but police know that their jobs would be on the line and it may be a long time before they can clear their name, etc.

Why do you think if the policeman was 2 feet from the fleeing suspects that he did not shoot? Even in Alabama the rules have changed. Someone listed the new rules for Montgomery, but I don't remember what thread it was.

[pepsionice]

Alabama is still going to prosecute this case...no matter what the Feds do....and I think that might force the FBI consider who the heck was the third gentleman...because if they eventually hand these two idiots over to Bama and the prosecution comes up with a 3rd name....it will really look bad for the FBI. And I would guess that Bama is going to pull every string in the book to make the FBI look bad if the FBI decides not to look for the 3rd guy. This could play out as the biggest Fed joke of the entire year.

I just hope they find the third person.

Good. Most people think Eric Clapner(sic) wrote that.

I remember the day. I was pulling into Wendy's to get something from their $0.99 menu.

[aruanan]

That is, I remember the day Bob Marley died. I wonder what Joycelyn was doing then. Probably fantasizing about safer bullets or their condom-derived version.
