He also says "bullet holes in the ceiling of a pizza shop". Where is he getting this? This gunman story just keeps morphing!

It's a long article but I'll let you maniacs jump on it since I have a sleeping cat in my lap now and typing is difficult. :p

No shots fired. Wait, one shot fired into the ground. Wait, it was into the lock on the closet door. No wait, multiple shots fired. And make them into the air.

At this point, I can only think this is deliberate. Simple squid ink confusion tactic, or something more cunning?

Also, I noticed in a video I just watched that EMW's home town is only 2 state lines away from DC, so why did JA say to MK that EMW had crossed 4 state lines?

And why did EMW say "dwelling"???

A. This not a direct report on the incident at CPP.

B. One route to CPP takes through, NC, VA, MD, and then DC.

JA said "crossing four state lines". That route would only cross 3. Of course one could wander around across any number of state lines, but why? The intuitive path would be straight there.

I think he meant out of maryland and into dc. DC being the 4th "state line".

The most intuitive path is where the highways are. And google maps suggested one path that hit nc, va, md and dc.

Yes, and that crosses 3 state lines, not 4.

For comparison's sake: if I make a train of 4 cars in length, I will need 3 couplings, not 4.

AreWeSure ago

true.

Anyway, I don't think this is a very big issue.

Perhaps, but Alefantis said 4, not 3 or 2. I'd like to know why he did that. It's not the #1 question I have for him, but it's on the list.
