Days before the shooting of the man at the Ponderosa steak house in Ashland, Va., Baron said she had received the message "They will surrender in Richmond."
This is the actual prediction. Notice the verb and the location. "Surrender", not "shoot someone", not "screw up", not "leave the important final clues"; "surrender". And "in Richmond", not "near Richmond", not "in a suburb of Richmond"; "in Richmond".
Ashland is a suburb of Richmond. According to press reports police have said that they almost captured Muhammad and Malvo at a pay phone in Richmond soon after the Ashland shooting.
Now here comes the fudge (wasn't that a sketch on Laugh-In?). The true believers are turning a direct and clearly constructed statement into vagueries right before your very eyes. "Surrender" has become "shoot somebody and almost get caught" and "in Richmond" has become "in and around Richmond including but not limited to the suburb of Ashland" (wonder if the citizens of Ashland consider themselves a suburb?).
Baron believes that the shooting in the Richmond area gave the police the evidence and clues they needed to help solve the case.
And the coupe de grace as the "predictor" finishes the fudge and explains why this unmistakable "miss" (as they say in the parlance) is actually a "hit"... if only you're willing to believe.
The article is filled with this dreck, vaguaries that could maybe sort of describe the situation if you're feeling generous being touted as brilliantly accurate predictions. Hooey. that's called playing the odds. I'm willing to give her credit for going the terrorist angle when most of the experts (including this layman) were still thinking normal serial killer. But there were plenty of people on FR going the same route, and they're not psychics (heck some of the people on that list think every stinky fart is a terrorist plot, good thing they don't hang out with me).
Remember kids, if they were a real psychic they wouldn't need your money, they'd make their living at the nearest Indian casino or OTB parlor. Heck, do you have any idea what a $2 bet in Vegas in March that the Angels would win the Series would have paid off? That's predicting the future.
LOL -- maybe Clowntoon and his various enablers are "psychic". They sure knew how to obfuscate clear facts into vague fog.
