going on 5 days now....

Midland City, Alabama (CNN) -- As an armed standoff entered its fifth day Saturday, authorities negotiated through a ventilation pipe with a man accused of barricading himself and a 5-year-old hostage in an underground bunker in southeastern Alabama.
Police have been tight-lipped about a possible motive since the hostage drama began unfolding in Midland City with the shooting of school bus driver and the abduction of the 5-year-old.
In a sign of perhaps how tense negotiations are between authorities and the suspect, officials have refused to detail what, if any, demands have been made by the suspect.
This much is known, according to police and witness statements: On Tuesday at about 3:40 p.m., bus driver Charles Poland Jr. was shuttling children from school to their homes when he dropped children off and the gunman boarded the bus.
The gunman demanded that Poland, 66, hand over two children. Poland refused, blocking access to the bus's narrow aisle as at least 21 children escaped out of the back emergency door, according to police.
The gunman shot Poland four times, killing him; grabbed the boy and then barricaded the two of them inside a nearby bunker.
It's unclear whether the gunman was after a specific child on the bus. Police have said there is no connection between the suspect and the abducted boy, whose identity is being withheld.

I really don't get it.
I mean, I teach autistic kids. There's no fucking way you could get me to stay locked in a room with one for five days.

Give me a deck of cards and I'll take out the old man.

Fuck this cocksucker. It won't end well for him whatever happens.

fudge this roostersucker. It won't end well for him whatever happens.
ditto. It will end better for him if he's apprehended than if he survives the ordeal and tries to live in the area.

I can't see him being a freeman regardless. He'll probably die in prison as someone's bitch.

He murdered a bus driver. IF he comes out of this alive, and that's a big if, unless there is a prison in that neighborhood he isn't going to be living anywhere near there.

And it sounds like he has a big mouth with extreme views that will probably get him knifed in prison.

Whatever happened to the old practice of running a slow flow of knockout gas through the ventilation system to end shit like this? Knock them out, gain entry, shoot the crazy motherfucker, get the kid to fresh air, problem solved. While they're out, run a camera through the vent pipe to see if the door is booby trapped. Surely the FBI, CIA, or DOD have some Inspector Gadget type of shit at their disposal that would give them the ability to determine whether the door was rigged with explosives or not. It would at least give them the exact location of the kid, so they would know where not to poke a hole in order to gain entry from the ceiling. 5 days in and we're no closer to a resolution that when it first happened.
Maybe the plan is to starve him out.

That first line sounds like a Dutch oven, but then the second line starts out like VV's Saturday nights end

Second hand info, but my dad said gas was not an option because (a) if the shithead smelled/noticed it, he would probably freak and kill the kid and/or himself and (b) there was some concern about the amount to knock out an adult would be too much for a kid and could be lethal or cause him serious harm.
If the neighbors had just done what needed to have been done long before now, this would not be an issue. Beat my dog to death with a lead pipe? Take pot shots at my kids? He would probably have just gone missing and just like that Dixie Chicks song, it would have turned out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all. Some people just need killing.

The problem is, nobody wants the kid's blood on their hands. Gas is the best way to go, but what's to say he doesn't shoot the kid with the sound of the first canister. Starving him out is an option, but how long are they willing to wait? The poor kid will be scarred for a lifetime.

He is trying to gain attention for being a survivalist. I have a feeling he has plenty of canned goods stored down there to last him a very long time.
I was joking earlier, but honestly the kid having Asbergers may be what saves him. I can't imagine the guy being able to handle the issues for a long period of time.

He's feeding that poor kid burgers from his ass?

I hear ass burgers are the best burgers in town. I wonder what the secret is....

This is a just a few miles from my house. Went by there yesterday to check it out and it's a circus. One side of the road is all the national media...RV's and satellites out the ass. The other is everything from the FBI to the ABI to the BLT from TGIFridays. As was said earlier, the only real option is waiting it out. The old dude holds all the cards but will eventually have to make the decision how it ends. There are fears of traps and/or him possibly killing the kid if they try to go in. He planned this whole thing out except for killing the bus driver. Don't think that was what he originally intended but the driver tried to protect the kids and paid for it with his life. The best thing about it is that law enforcement is keeping the media, both local and national away from everything and out of the loop. They're not saying squat about what's going on or what's being said. We all have this need to know, but they don't give a shit. They're telling the vultures that flew in to bite it. We'll let you know when we think you need to know.

THIS. This is awesome. But that's small county sheriff for you. No higher ambition, no national political aspirations. The only voters he is worried about are right there, and they all know how he's managing this, and they will remember come election time. Wish more were like this, instead of wanting their faces all over the media when a crisis comes.

I am surprised you came out of the hole.

The Ruskies pulled this one to perfection on some Islamic terrorist holed up with hostages a few years back and the best I remember, it worked fabulously. It may come to this. He doesn't seem like the type to give up the kid. He's so whacked out, he'll fight until the bitter end.

What hole? It was the closet.

BREAKING NEWS .. Jimmy Lee Dykes is dead and the child he was holding hostage has been released.

Interested to see how they took the SOB out.

Someone decided they've wasted enough time. Flash bang and tap tap tap. They are speculating that he may have shot himself, but I doubt it.

It doesn't really matter how he left the earth, someone just save me a ton on my state taxes.

Furthermore, the most surprising part of this story is the FBI made the decision to bang the bunker and take the child. Much like a state trooper, the average FBI agent is worthless. A bunch of paper pushing pussies.
