Chief Moose Cost Lives

I'll tell ya, people love short-cuts like idols. However, the *Real Thang* ain't be gotten via short-cuts.

I really think you'd like a real hero much better. Say for example that last fellow -- a black man -- who gave his life, by some reports, when he tried to give an alarm after he spotted the snipers.

Defeat of Demoose goes over Defense before Detail !!! ;-))

There's even a "Chief Moose Fan Club" website replete with songs and poems praising the "superhero." Its founder calls Moose "brilliant."

Pathetic. Obviously the result of public education. There's goes another word that the left has degraded: "hero". Most REAL heroes never have a website "dedicated" to them, much less show their face on t.v. This is really sad...the number of brainwashed people in this country borders on the line of insanity.

What an ugly, ugly thread this is. Looks like the bigots are out in full force today.

[Consort]

It has nothing to do with idols. Let it go.

[CWRWinger]

Moose is an obstruction to justice.

This must come from the department of 20/20 hindsight

The "racial" profiling is actually the profilers playing the percentages--there are more white serial killers than black serial killers.

Of course, the same "logic" is behind profiling of blacks - that more blacks, statistically, are criminals than whites. That's wrong, because cops waste time on innocent blacks instead of looking for probable cause - just as they did the same with whites in the sniper case. Profiling should be a single tool, not the driving force.

But it's simpler and easier to blame Moose for the inaccurate profiling than on the FBI, because he was out front and the FBI was in the background.

Moose apparently was more-than reciptive to what the FBI was telling him.

[Howlin]

These people hated and mocked Moose from the very beginning. Because he is black, period.

[Fred Mertz]

From early on, Moose was scripted by the FBI. They--along with the ATF and other federal agencies--not Moose, were running the show.

So very true. I don't why so many people were fooled into thinking that Moose was in charge of anything after about October 6th.

The voice on the tape of the call to the Rockville police department is obviously that of a young black male. The Rockville police department gave that tape to Moose's task force.

Actually, I do slip into the south side of Milwaukee "dis," "dat" and "dere" mode from time to time. In fact, you can tell which of my sisters were raised in Milwaukee and which ones weren't by "da" way "dey" talk. The ones who spent more time in Milwaukee talk "dat" way. "Da" ones who didn't don't.

The folks in Green Bay talk similarly, but dey gots more of a German-Polish-Belgian accent, rather than the German-Polish accent of Milwaukee. The Belgian accent is slightly different. Den you gots dem Yoopers. Dey tink an talk almosts likes dey's from Wisconsin, but dey don't, dontcha know.

The two things I know from law enforcement and prosecutors are that: 1. Information to the FBI only goes one way. It goes from the locals to the FBI. Information does not come back. 2. When the FBI is involved, they take over.

Now it may be that the task force was putting on a very good face saying they all worked together, but I doubt if the FBI has changed that much in the past year. If they did, it would be a revolution within the FBI. I seriously doubt if that's happened.

[aristeides]

Ashcroft at his press conference yesterday was profuse in his praise of various people, including Moose, Bald, the ATF guy on the task force, and all sorts of prosecutors. He conspicuously failed to mention Gansler.

[Catspaw]

It's also likely Moose was more in charge than you'd admit. Look -- the Feds under Ashcroft just recently dropped the Fed charges so as to allow STATE prosecution first. D'ya think that mayhaps the Ashcroftian FBI also let the locals -- that is, Chief "Black Em-Power" Moose -- run the sniper hunt show? If nay, well then pony up the goods that back up your assertion of Fed honchoing up, for in present and demonstrated condition your assertion is the less likely one.

Which state got the prosecution and who decided where Malvo and Mohammed got prosecuted? Was it Chief Moose? Was it the task force? Well, no, that'd be Attorney General John Ashcroft at the Department of Justice. I distinctly remember a press conference yesterday in which he announced that Malvo and Mohammed would be tried in two separate counties in Virginia. Am I wrong? If so, please refer me to source in which Chief Moose made the decision to have the federal charges dismissed and have Fairfax and Prince William Counties in Virgina charge Malvo and Mohammed.

But to get back to Idol Making 101 ... First rule is that Idols are made, not born. Moose is being made into an idol. I don't know about y'all but, personally, I don't cotton to idols. That the Idol of Moose is being crafted right in front of your face, for the purpose of future venerational acts to be forced upon you and I -- that is more important, long-trend-wise, than who pulled the leashes during the sniper hunt.

You're the one that's making Moose into an idol, then tearing him down. I'm saying that Moose didn't profile the snipers--the FBI did. I'm saying that he wasn't the one who was actually in charge of the sniper investigation--the feds were. I'm saying that the decision as to where the snipers charged was in the hands of the feds. What's so hard about that to understand?

You're the one, not me, giving more credit to Moose that he's entitled to. He's just the face out front, nothing more.

[dirtboy]

These people hated and mocked Moose from the very beginning. Because he is black, period.

Some folks did. However, a lot of what they claimed turned out to be true, and I eventually came to condemn Moose. What Moose did was inexcusable - turning clear evidence aside because of profiling and his own opinions.
