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.

[Howlin]

I called! I called!

[Freedom2specul8]

Will do...

[rintense]

Good for you, Howlin!

Now we may know why that threat to children was taken so seriously.

[Howlin]

I gave up and JUST CALLED up there!

[Naspino]

Its horrible. I said this on the Hostage thread. This sniper event will not even show up in the history of the world. The hostage event in Russia could change the course of history as it relates to the War on Terror, Iraq, the UN resolution, the existance of Chechnya. I'm ashamed of our media tonight -- I thought the BBC world was horrible when I was overseas recently but compared to what we have Sniper News, Sniper News Network, and Microsoft Sniper NBC they look like geniouses.

[MasonGal]

I wonder if she'll tell our buddy Chris Whitcomb?

[rintense]

How long before MSNBC makes the connection?

[Peach]

You've done good work here tonight. See you later.

[Tree of Liberty]

Personally, I don't think she's made up for the reporting she did on the SCOTUS Presidential election decision.

[Slip18]

It was a Monkeypod Tree of French descent. You fertilize it with a lot of cheese.

[TexKat]

The CREDIT CARD has apparently been linked to the victim of that shooting,

Sorry, but to which victim???

[Letitring]

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE. Please tell us more when you get it.

[ezo4]

That areticle on the Alabama shooting/training camp is a real eye opener. I remember that one.

[MasonGal]

WOW

[abner]

I called Fox News in D.C. and TOLD them to READ THE DAMN EMAILS!

Good for you! Rita just redeemed herself in my eyes. Her embarrassing election 2002 coverage...

[Skel]

Of course Greta won't ask follow up questions re the camp...

[mondonico]

I forgot to say thank you for your efforts...."thank you"!

[Tree of Liberty]

My calander doesn't go that far into the future

[mhking]

We have Moose sign!

[aeronca]

Ok anyone want to speculate where the white van/cargo truck fits in??? Oh, I also believe yesterdays Message "your Children are not safe etc" was a message that the sniper wanted to send to his operatives.
