Oh, pardon me, Roger,

Tonya Hart was also murdered in the unincorporated area of Latah County.

So in an effort to prove that major crimes are more likely to occur in Moscow, you cited five murders, four of which actually occurred outside of Moscow.  Tonya Hart makes it five out of six in the unincorporated areas of the county.

Try this again.  About 36,000 people live in Latah County including about 23,000 that live in Moscow.  [The accuracy of the Moscow population may be in doubt because it appears that many student/student family members were not counted.  This makes the proportion of Moscow v. the other people in Latah County even larger.

I can see you didn't do the math.  Here is a summary:

1 murder/23,000 Moscow residents.
5 murders/13,000 outside of Moscow.

I hope that you can complete the comparison unaided.

Further, I wasn't demonizing all those who live in rural Latah County, not even you.  In an attempt to demonstrate this, I responded to Keely and gave that reference to you.  Evidently in the great rush and crush of the of your current life's activities, you did not have the time to read that post.

I am starting to get that surreal feeling that Sunil must get when he responds to some of your posts and then receives your response.

W.

  I am well aware that Shackleford's  crimes were in the Kendrick area. That is why I was surprised you did not bring it up. If you want to talk about crime in general, please do so. But please do not try to demonise rural areas.. Kudos to Keely, I thought her comments were excellent.

And I do not believe that all crimes of the same kind in Moscow are investigated with equal vigor,  the amount vigor expended sometimes seems sometimes to depend on who is allegedly involved either as a victim or as a suspect.

People want some answers, not only to the kinds of questions I have been raising, but other questions also.  So far information released has been bare bones.  Even the information included in the initial charging affidavit http://images.bimedia.net/documents/012510-hwy-shooting-Rickert.pdf is very short on details.  
  >   >

For example, why hasn't Jack Buell been interviewed?  There is another person who could give most likely some very pertinent, illuminating information should she consent to an interview, namely Nadine Towne, mother of and custodial parent of Austin Rickert.

Even in the hands of a marksman, the accuracy dwindles considerably in ranges past 100 feet.  Hence if the snipers were shooting at the vehicle with the two women at a range where accuracy is questionable, then regardless if they were only aiming at the windshield, then they were certainly endangering the lives of the occupants.
  >   >   >

Where they using ordinary .22 caliber bullets or higher power bullets?  What position were they in while firing?  Was the rifle resting on something while firing?  How good of marksmen were the shooters?  The answers to these and other questions are relevant to the probable accuracy of the shots and thus the amount danger the two young women were placed in.

I think that we would be best served by having the FBI, DHS, and ATF involved heavily in this investigation so that there is a higher probability that the relevant facts will be found, that the facts will be made known to the public, and to make sure that some of our local crackpot political/religious groups were not involved in some way and have not groomed some more gullible, not-too-bright kids to pull off something similar.

The search was part of an ongoing investigation involving Rickert and fellow alleged shooter Austin Medlock. The two 14-year-old Deary High School freshmen were charged with two counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm at a vehicle during a hearing at the Latah County Courthouse last Monday. The Jan. 22 incident shut down a portion of State Highway 8 between Deary and Bovill for several hours. Latah County Magistrate John Judge allowed for the release of Medlock and Rickert into the custody of their parents on the condition they not be out of sight of a parent except for when sleeping or attending school. They also were prohibited from being around firearms and will wear electronic monitoring devices, among other conditions.

What's going on here?  Shouldn't the highway have been closed as soon as possible?  Couldn't some of the snipings been prevented by such a move?  When snipings occur elsewhere, isn't sealing off and closing the sniping area done immediately?  It now appears the alleged snipers went through a police roadblock unchallenged around 2:45pm, and before the highway was closed.
  >   >   > 
  >   >   > 2.    Prior to the revelation about the possession of a pipe bomb by one of the suspects, this was still a very serious matter.  At least twenty vehicles were fired upon.  A bullet smashed the windshield of a passenger car and passed between two young women inside.  These were local Deary area women apparently known by the suspects.  Deary is not a big place, hence doesn't it seem likely that the shooters knew exactly who they were firing upon in this case?  The big question:  Why were only two charges initially filed against the suspects?
  >   >   > 
  >   >   > 3.    With the finding of the pipe bomb, this becomes a much more serious matter demanding a much closer, serious investigation, perhaps aided by the FBI, DHS, and ATF.  What explosives were used in making the pipe bomb?  How did the suspect obtain the explosives?  What was the initial source of the explosives?  Did the suspect act totally alone?  Or was he aided and abetted by others including adults including members of some of the local crackpot political/religious groups?  Are there any ties (like between friends or relatives) between the suspect and some of these crackpot groups?  Was the suspect not only encouraged by others but given material assistance and instruction?  I don't know the answers, but for the sake of local and perhaps national security, these answers ought be found and reported.

If this had happened on I-90 in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County would be swarmed by national media, and at least some of the above kinds of questions (and many more) asked and perhaps answered.  In addition, the LMT revealed the name of the pipe bomb suspect.  The DN didn't claiming that the sheriff wouldn't tell them, although it appeared that the LMT story was their source.  Is it the sheriff who withheld information or the DN, either party perhaps protecting someone they considered needed protecting?
