Beltway Sniper Shootings-FR Commentary-Wed., Oct. 23,2002
Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences | October 23, 2002 | Fox News, CNN, Press Conferences

Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.

All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.

I have wondered why it is taking them so long to make the connection or not to the sniper as well.

All the threats prove, is that the sniper deep down is simply a coward.

Considering a police phoneline call receiver hung up on him, it sounds as though he's also fairly unreasonable in daily affairs. It doesn't matter what is done with him, until he's under physical control this nutjob will be a deadly threat to any reasonable person.

Footnote to No. 20. "Many of us expected a change of weapons". Add to that: he is back to his point of beginning, within the small circle of his first spreee.

He's not a coward if he took a shot over that cops shoulder. Stupid, yes.

I haven't been following the "French Sniper" theory too closely, but I heard on the radio that he was originally from Yugoslavia. What was not spoken was if he was a Muslim. There are many Yugo Muslims. It is as if it is forbidden to state if a potential perp is a Muslim. Does anyone have a good link to the French Sniper story?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Arafat is the leader of the terrorists. And the EU is funding him.

It takes no courage to shoot children. The shot near the cop merely proves arrogance of the sniper. Courage implies the ability to act appropriately under adverse conditions. This 'sniper' is a murderer who will only lie.

His continued behavior merely shows how those who follow antichristian behavior spiral into pit of irrational evil. All the more living proof not to follow the murderer's lead.

Good Morning Freepers:

On Fox News this morning they said the Sniper called a couple of times on the hotline and was extremely angry. He would start his conversation with "I AM GOD". Looks like he has a tape recorder at the pay phone that is why they couldn't understand his message too well.
