| Life in Shootlerland... |
| 2002-10-22 |
| Another shooting this morning, at a bus stop in Montgomery County. The victim was the bus driver, at a rest stop. Victim is in critical condition, in surgery. The area's Aspen Hill, near a cemetary. I'm pretty sure the guy lives in Monkey County — the question is, where? Shooter Boy left a three page note for the cops at the Ashland shooting. He wants money and threatens more shootings of kids. Guess he's not a terrorist; he's a nut. He wants to get his wad and do a D.B. Cooper. FoxNews sez the note's in broken English, presumably more broken than the run-of-the-mill high school graduate's. Guesses are that he's a foreigner. FOLLOWUP: The victim died. |

| #5 I heard that the handwriting on the extortion note was different than that on the Tarot card. I'm thinking someone (who's not very bright) is trying to make a fast buck by pretending he is the sniper. Bad move, guy. Don't you know what's going to happen when you try to pick up the money? That's the one thing the FBI is very good at. |

| #4 Fred, I was thinking about this on my drive in this morning. It could be possible that the shooter has a number of safe houses in the areas in which he has struck. Just a random thought. My brother was in the immediate vicinity, he has a bread route, during the incident. He had already spent a couple of hours trying to get off Connecticut onto Georgia Ave. when I talked to him and he decided to wait till tomorrow to visit the rest of his stops. He said that they were checking all vehicles, cars, suvs, trucks (he has a white panel truck) and tractor trailers. |

| #3 It also had temporary tags like you get when you've just bought a vehicle. SO I bet many of the aforementioned stickers are not from the current owners. Hopefully they won't punish the innocent (that is, they won't deport the van with its "owner") |

| #2 NY Post reported that the van was also wearing an NRA sticker. Can't wait to hear from the usual suspects on that one. |

| #1 Fox is also reporting on their website that there were 3 stickers on that Richmond white van - "Bush/Cheney; US Marine Corps; and, Mexico (flag). Wait until the left get a hold of this - a pro-nafta, rightwing, ex-Marine.....Of course, they ain't the right ones but what the hey, they make good copy... |
