Unless he’s jacking himself up on drugs, which terrorists do in abundance....then he could go all night.

Aaaaaah, that must be why CNN delayed the press conference. I turned the tv down when the presser started and missed that phone interview.
So he’s not talking to the police to make his demands, it seems. Hmmmmmm.

White people counter-demonstrating.
Too bad that will NEVER happen here.

Yes...that seems right and that is what he divulged from his 3 contacts with the gunman, via hostages he made call Hadley.. Thanks.

I’m writing all this down, because other FRs are sleeping and will wake up to this at whatever point and will want to know what happened.

Inject meth and you can be up for a week. Paranoia sets in around day 3-4.

The police negotiator is who the Radio Host, Hadley, turned the gunman over too, after having 3 conversations via a hostage with him.

Have they figured out who the hostage taker is...does he belong to a group or is this a wannabe making a statement.

The gunman told the radio host Hadley that he was doing this for ISIS....evidently he couldn’t get an ISIS flag in time, so had to offer to trade a hostage for one.

I don’t know about drugs much...just that the Islamic terrorists will jack up on them when in battle and when they do the dastardly stuff they do.

So you’re saying he could be good for two days?

Now is the time for Damascus to become a smoking pile of rubble, 300 miles radius from their courthouse.


My map mileage was off, I’m from TX, 800 miles wide, so sue me.

I want BN to smoke Damascus.

The police have his identity but I haven’t seen the name released yet....

At any rate they’re working this situation remarkably well....
