My guess:

A nutcake leftie student from Evergreen College.

I didn't think skinhead ideology cared about anything overseas, just they don't want "them" here.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Pakistani male. Gee, I guess it's not terrorism, then. Just a random act.

"Still no word about motive."

Dare I speculate?

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Were I to suggest that a palestinian upset about Israel shooting a Presidental candidate was a terrorist most Americans, not necessarily Freepers, would think I was nuts.

Sirhan-Sirhan was a pallie. If memory serves, Sirhan killed Bobby Kennedy; who had presidential aspirations.

Is it Bush's fault yet?

[SJackson]

if there is only one shooter what are the police doing on the building tops?

Obviously none of us know what's happening. My guess if this is a single perp, it won't be called terrorim. But if it were an organized terrorist act, responders, police and medical, as well as onlookers are targets.

Yes, killed him because he was upset about his position on Israel.
