St. Jude is the patron saint of hopeless causes.

Maybe a few prayers to St. Jude are called for?

Regarding the gender pattern, FV ... I held my breath when the news reported tonight's shooting because female was next if the pattern was going to repeat. Sadly, that was the case ... sadly, whether male or female.

I'm not ready to venture who is responsible ... only that this is methodical, well planned, pretty much on schedule, organized, and victims are not random ... just my opinion.

Much prayer for our shattered families, our nation, and our President ...

No indeed. I just wish I could remember something, anything that might be useful. I'm a yankee, but have cruised a few years looking for ways to avoid traffic (fruitless).

As I said before, each of these deaths by themselves affect so many (family and friends). All of these deaths are affecting our nation.

Brings to mind the "six degrees of separation" theory.

Anybody know what kind of parking facilities that mosque within walking distance has?

No idea - I"m sure the Feds are looking rather closely at it though...

"Fox reporting that now people on the roads are running out of gas, after idling in traffic for 3 hours, complicating things even more."

Man, what a bummer that would be. I'm sure no-one thought ahead about that happening. I do not let my vehicle get below less than half full on gas anytime anymore. Not since 911.

Obviously it's happening because everyone's too scared to go fill 'er up!

The killer's direction could have changed a couple of hundred yards later. The Chief gave an accurate answer. A Fair Witness would have been proud of him.

Police are correcting vehicle description to white or cream colored Astro van. Parking lot lights and night could shade van color.

Yes. The "cream colored" Astro van description is all over the news now. Fox News was the one who had that eyewitness report wrong for quite some time earlier.

P.S.I worked the Willston Center election polling place (near there) for the Fairfax Co. GOP and Earley campaign last Nov. 2001 election day and believe me, after sunset, almost every voter who was not totally dark skinned looked "white" to me until they got close enough for me to make out their facial features. ;-)

What was your impression of our Fairfax County Chief of Police?

As I posted earlier he's 5000 times better than that maryland idiot. I wish he became the lead spokesman. I just can't stand listening to the idiot from Maryland.

What was your impression of our Fairfax County Chief of Police? I thought he seemed fine. It looked like the press who was out of control and frantic.

He did a good job - press had a license # though and he couldn't confirm it - I wonder where reporters are getting their info - lurkers ???

Thanks Guys...

Like I mentioned a few minutes ago..I'm so glad we don't have to learn all of that to own a firearm for self-defense. Regardless, it has been very enlightening..

Of course I don't mind you giving your 2cents TOL... Seems to me that a malfunctioning firearm would one that had been damaged or altered..

Thanks for the author/book idea FF.. :)

That's what's making me wonder. Whether it's a terror cell or a "Manson family redux" someone is covering for this sniper.

'Michaels' is a pretty scary place for a man even when there aren't bullets flying. That place gives me the creeps.

Roger that!

Just think. This whackjob could be so far gone that he shops at Michael's before he strikes. Then goes home and decoorates his house with paper floral arrangements. Ack Ack!

All kidding aside. Most criminals are caught by a tip or a foulup. Praying for either soon. And sympathy for the families of the victims.

If you're talking about the old guy with the gray mustache, he's a forensic pathologist. He's the host of the "Autopsy" specials on HBO.

Who is this moron on FNC?

It sounds like the maryland chief idiot's brother.

The press uses scanners to monitor police dispatchers.

No, I meant the mush-mouthed moron just before him.
