> [@Peremensoe](#): > > Not sure what you’re trying to point to. (I’m on a mobile at the moment.) On the full page, there is a sidebar title “About Joint Terrorism Task Forces” that links to the second main page about the “Joint Terrorism Task Forces”. It’s pretty plain from context that the FBI at least, is treating this as “terrorism.” ---

tv news has an interview with neighbor of boat owner. after a day of a armed killer at large the people were cleared to go outside. boat owner sees blood near his boat and he puts up a ladder against boat and unzips cover and sees body. not the smartest move considering IMHO. the guy’s pet boat is now full of bullets holes. this guy will get people sending money for an even bigger fancier boat. ---

So far the link is still good. But, not much is being said. They seem stuck waiting on a negotiator. Still chasing media out that are curious.
