Crappy news conference - not informative at all. I suppose they have to keep their investigation private, but it was really poorly executed. One chief talked for about 2 minutes and just kept restating the same information.
 
Now, will someone PLEASE explain the pebble reference to me!!!
Click to expand...

Old TV show "Kung-Fu". In the opening of the show the student "grasshopper" had to atempt to snatch a pebble from the hand of his old, blind master, he failed...but as he grew older and more proficient with his kung-fu skills he was able to snatch the pebble from the masters hand. This all took plce at the beginning of every show as well as other scenes of him learning the ways of the Shao Lin.
 
Theres a French Sniper on the loose in North America, he wanted for deserting the French Army. Interpol is looking for him.. Hes of Yugoslovian decent, so he could be muslim. Okay so its all speculation, but hell thats what all this sh!t is anyways.
 
So, basically 2 mexican drop a letter at sunday's scene and call in police to hint that there is a note on the grass nearby. Then Police set up watch on some public phone (gas station). Then one of them actually call the Police on that public phone and ask about the money and got caught by SWAP immediately. .... 2 more losers.

Well, he did give you the literal answer and not the deep inner meaning. 😀

<spiritual>

Snatching the pebble requires concentration, self-awareness, and the knowledge and skill to interact with one object in the world as it interacts with every other. The ebb and flow of energy is what moves and shapes the world.

No two energies in the world are truly seperate - thus you cannot take the pebble without taking part of the master, and of yourself as well.

And only then, when you realize the true weight of what it is you are trying to lift, may you snatch the pebble from my hand.

Baah... If I want a spiritual experience, I'll go throw myself out of a perfectly good airplane at 13,500ft with nothing but a fabric parachute to save my life. 😀

Type "Kung FU TV" into google Grasshopper. Then maybe you will know how to snatch the pebble from our hands.

Clear day + parachute + 13000 feet of open air = utopia.

I will expect the gas station that the van and man caught will be the most busy gas station in the area because now you know the police is watching this...

I already know how to snatch the pebble from your hands, punch you square in the face and remove it at my leisure. 😀
