Makes me want to go GRRRRR too.......

[GRRRRR]

Thanks for the TOSS, GRRRRR! I see you're still as handsome as ever...

[GRRRRR]

Good Morning Meekn'---got any more coffee cake?

[looney tune]

I don't have coffee cake, but how about a fresh Krispy Kreme?

[GRRRRR]

Ohhhh.....you have done the UNTHINKABLE...!

The Nukular Krispy Kreme...the smell, the texture...munch!

Thanks for starting this thread.

I'm flagging Peach because she may or may not want to use this for the daily, since it's titled for the Ashland shooting. I hope that there aren't any more today, but I wouldn't bet on it. They had 5 days to map out their sites.

[GRRRRR]

MSNBC (ick) says that there will be an Ashland Police briefing at 0830h ET.

This police group had evidently PLANNED the DRAGNET like response to the shooting on Saturday night. They had planned how to shut down I-95 ramps and other local arteries just in case there would be a shooting in their area.

Also, FOX confirms that the shot DID come from a wooded area behind the "Pondergrossa"...with several access roads coming out of the site.

Thank you for putting this up this morning. I couldn't stay awake any longer last night and FR is the first place I look to every morning for the news and there you were.

Does anyone know what time they let the traffic loose on I-95?

[looney tune]

Hoss and Little Joe are gonna be mad this happened near the Ponderosa.

[flamefront]

I thought they were recording all the 95's traffic. Shouldn't they have a clear image of the vehicle by now?

Just heard on Fox that the scent led bloodhounds into Ashland itself.....did I hear write(working on only a few sips of coffee)

[looney tune]

I'm betting the white truck is a decoy. How can they get away every time? Also, I think they're using back roads, not the interstate. Also, people naturally pay attention to the victim, I don't think I would have the presence of mind to look around immediately to try to see the perp. He just drives away nonchalantly

[GRRRRR]

I popped out of bed for a look-see at about 0115h Central and FOX was still live...the video from a helicopter STILL SHOWED a huge back up on I-95...Red Lights as far as you could see. The commentator DID say that traffic was beginning to move more freely--so I guess it was around 2am EST...

[GRRRRR]

Nah, Major Garret, FOX, said they had a dragnet all around the Steak House and discounted the Bloodhound reports...I do too, actually...I would expect that in order for a dog to pick up "THE scent" of THE shooter, then some piece of evidence would have to be LINKED directly from the target site to the place where the shooter was shooting...and I don't think that has happened...

I imagine most of the people stuck in their cars were trying to be good citizens about this but I bet it was rough for some. Traveling with kids, animals, the elderly (or just some of my relatives)could become a problem stuck on the highway that long.

[tomkat]

any medical types in here care to weigh in on the frequency of a bullet being left in a shooting victim ?

and no 55MHz jokes, it's too damned early

[mystery-ak]

haha...write=right....Im half awake.....but I thought bloodhounds are trained to follow gunpowder scents....?

[mystery-ak]

*Are we there yet?*....

[TERMINATTOR]

Was listening to FNC and Major Garret was driving south on I-95 and giving a rolling report of where the roadblocks were. VERRY irresponsible IMHO. He could be helping these murderers to escape.
