For those in the know, a couple of questions re the shooter

I don't claim to be "in the know", but I can claim to be a person who was stopped and searched yesterday. I think the reason they can do it without a search warrant is because they asked me if it was OK, and I said yes.

Also notable...when I got to the officer, he had a flashlight hooked onto a gun (I feel like an idiot, but I can only describe it as a big gun, I dont know what kind). So as he shined the flashlight in my face (this was early am, the sun wasnt all the way up yet), he also had to point the gun at me.

Better safe than sorry I guess.

I thought the main reason the Feds weren't getting involved was because the burden of proof is greater in a Federal death penalty case?

Since the sniper has comitted murder in two states, the Feds could get involved. Right?

Thank you Lioness

Actually I've been here a while on and off, but I rarely post.
Just a little while ago, my fiance left the office to go to an office supply store. In DC of course. So now I'm all worried until he gets back. I wish they'd catch this guy.

As far as your question regarding the FBI....the FBI IS working on this. There were FBI agents at the roadstop. Maybe theyre just letting Moose's department run this because they feel the sniper feels comfortable with him now? Just a thought.

My biggest fear is that this guy will just stop.

Then we'll just wonder forever if it will happen again.

Ya got me?!?!

I guess they have their reasons. Maybe when this is all over, we'll get the real story.

yep.. If you tell them 'no, you can't search'.. they would have had you pull your car over to the side and there would be a big stink about it. so, right thing to do is say 'yes' and let them do their 10 second search.. and be on your way. otherwise, you will be sitting there for an hour +

McCain is on CNN right now calling for Bush to step in and order the FBI to take over the investigation.

I'd start by getting a list of all males from 20-50

Who have guns.

Who have been fired from work recently

Who belong to gun clubs

Who live alone

Wow, do you really think it's someone who has a gun?

What about bullets, do you think they have bullets as well?

Only after they make them out of the petrified bullshit Hanns spews forth.

I think the FBI could only take the lead in the investigation if requested by the state authorities involved. There is no federal law against killing another citizen. All murder cases fall under the auspices of state law.

And they wonder why I do not support firearms registration. Somewhere, some dumass thinks this is a good idea. Suppose said dumbass has a Federal law enforcement job . . . .
