I hope he survives his suicide attempt and spends a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time in jail being gang raped everyday and made to wear a dress then Bubba can strangle his friggen *** like he did his infant. This bastard doesn't deserve a quick death. The sonuvabitch.

**I'm sorry for the strong language but this HIGHLY pissed me off**

But anyone who does that to an infant is worthless....

Why do you think the caller hung up? Stump, have you ever gotten emotional on one of these calls? Oh and since he shot away most of his chin and the roof of his mouth, he is gonna be one ugly man. Prisoner's don't get cosmetic surgery. I too am glad he is going to survive.

911 tape (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/01/09/manhunt.911.tapes/index.html) details motorist's call in manhunt
Caller led police to suspect with help of Amber Alert information.

(CNN) -- Hours after Georgia's version of the Amber Alert went out in the abduction of three children, a motorist thought he recognized the kidnapping suspect's vehicle Thursday night on Interstate 75 and dialed 911 on his cell phone, authorities said.

On Friday, the Whitfield County, Georgia, Sheriff's Department released the tape of that call, which eventually led to the suspect's capture and the girls' safety.

"I need to know the Amber Alert license plate number," the caller asked the emergency dispatcher at the sheriff's office in Dalton, Georgia, 24 miles northwest of Ranger, Georgia, the scene of the abduction...

The dispatcher read out the number -- Georgia plate 730 YFV -- and asked the man, who apparently was a passenger in a car driven by a woman, if he had seen the vehicle.

"Just one second," he said and paused. Moments later, he spoke again. "Yeah, that's it," he said. "We're right behind it."

He verified that the vehicle he was trailing was a red 1991 Ford Explorer and told the dispatcher he'd just passed mile marker 330 near Dalton. "There's a gentleman [in the vehicle], and I think there's a couple of kids," he said... The conversations on the released 911 tape went on in a dispassionate and calm tone.

"Are you still with the vehicle?" the dispatcher asked the caller.

"Yes," the caller said. "We're going to follow it. He just screamed at one of the kids."

Finally, the dispatcher reported that officers were on the way and asked the man to stay on the phone until the police had them in sight. Passing mile marker 338, the lead officer said he could not find them, and the dispatcher asked the caller to turn on hazard flashers.

The caller then saw the officer. "OK, he's got us," the caller said.

"Yes, awesome," the dispatcher said, the first indication of emotion during the entire conversation.

"I'm coming up behind him," an officer reported...

For several more minutes, the radio broadcasts crackled with conversation between officers and the dispatcher, heavily sprinkled with police jargon.

Twice, the caller asked if police wanted his car to pull over, and twice the dispatcher asked him to hold on a moment.

When the dispatcher finally returned to the caller, he reported seeing six or seven police cars. When the dispatcher asked for the caller's phone number and name in case authorities needed to call him again, the line went dead.

Minutes later, Georgia police chased Jones into Tennessee and bumped his car on the first exit ramp. He spun and crashed into a pole, police said. He then shot himself in the chin before officers could reach the car, police said.

Jones is in critical condition at a Chattanooga, Tennessee, hospital but is expected to survive.

I think the Amber Alert is the best thing this country has done in a long time.

I only heard part of this tape, but it was handled wonderfully. I am amazed that the caller stayed calm like he did. I would be so excited if I was following the vehicle.
I am trained to get the information and get it out - usually I'm too busy to get emotional, but afterwards when the adreniline wears off, it is like a trainwreck of emotion sometimes.
I didn't hear the part of the tape where the caller hung up, so I don't know if he did, or the cell cut out or what.

On another note - this dude is without a face. We had that happen here 2 weeks ago - the guy (I know him personally) shot his wife, then shot himself in the face. He's still alive - barely.

I am just glad they were found...and quickly I might add. I hope no true harm...(prolly not the right wording but I am sure you guys know what I mean)...was done to them. And hopefully this sonuvabitch * will enjoy his stay in prison...

He probably doesn't have teeth now...so....:shuffle:

Sad to report but the liberal media is bashin the Ga State Patrol for using the PIT manuver to stop the truck. They wouldnt have been happy unless that ******* had murdered those kids and then took out a half dozen cops.
