Ok I read the folklore -- and after staring a tree stump for six hours this stuck out. All of a sudden, he lost his grip on the noose and down he fell into the middle of a old hollow Sycamore tree..

I can't take it anymore.. Time for a break.

I don't know how to interpret that. I'd imagine that since the last note we know of was recovered yesterday, the shooter didn't know that the stump in Tacoma was "in play", so tentatively we can discount that.

However, there is the possiblity that that phrase led LEOs to the stump.

How it's interpreted really depends on who is the rabbit and who is the duck. If the shooter is the duck, it could mean that he's trapped and needs to be extracted, which could get REALLY ugly.

OTOH, if the shooter is the rabbit, he could be signalling that he's going to ground...

Psy-ops. That's why they're flying to stump east.
