The minute Prairie Lady posted her plea on TimeBomb2000 we had this feeling that there was something BIG brewing behind her post. We felt something alarming and unusual had befallen Alice and we felt help needed to be directed to her IMMEDIATELY !!!

To say we are frustrated with Those In Charge is putting it mildly.

The criminal was STILL busy carjacking women in parking lots!

The authorities needed to USE ANY MEANS POSSIBLE to extract from him WHAT HAPPENED TO ALICE !!! Immediately! First order of business!

We cannot believe the sheer continuing bumbling fumbling incompetent delays, noncommunication and stupidity Those In Charge have bungled through this case.

If it weren't for the dogged heroic efforts of posters on TB2K and Free Republic, especially TankGurrrl, and other Internet forums, NOTHING WOULD HAVE EVER BEEN DONE.

And those total morons who first should have jumped on the case have NO EXPERIENCE, obviously, in CONNECTING DOTS !!!

TimeBomb2000 is all about becoming as self-sufficient as possible. One of the themes is that the authorities do not have the time or interest to really help one. This case verified this unfortunately reality.

I didn't know you had posted again when I remembered to thank you (as you are responsible for getting the story over here!) Went back to the thread and you'd just posted before me!

Have not been to TimeBomb 2000. My husband thinks I spend too much time HERE :), so I will have to go check out TB when things slow down here.

This whole thing has made several things clear to me. "We the People" can make a difference.
I need to get some pepper spray. :)
Gotta go sign up for a gun class with hubby (the one I've been "talking" about doing) and I need to have ANOTHER talk with my girls and son about being aware of surroundings in order to stay safe.

Take care. You, too, are awesome.

The thing is that those of us who "live" on Free Republic have lives and jobs and families and priorities too but are able to recognize when saving a life becomes THE top priority. Certainly those who deal with this kind of thing as a profession should realize that too. I think common sense and instinct goes into high gear in a situation like this if you are dealing with people who CARE what happens to someone. It just seems to me that some of the LE people on this case are either dumber than a box of rocks or lack basic human instincts and emotion. Maybe I am being too judgemental but it just seems to me that there are certain situations that demand putting everything else on hold and focusing all available resources where they are most needed and right now they need to be focused on finding Alice.
