Why is everyone who shoots a scoped rifle called a “sniper” when portrayed in the news? He was just a guy with a rifle who wasn't a very good shot. Calling him a sniper just gives him accolades he doesn't deserve and takes them away from people who do deserve them.

I don’t know if that criticism applies in this case. Seventy attacks, seventy vehicles hit, seventy windows shot out, and nobody hurt. With that many attacks, somebody just popping away would surely have hurt someone. Credit where credit is due, this appears to be good precise shooting.

What sort of rifle (assuming it was a rifle)? What calibre? More details! Probably one of those 45mm fully automatic sawed-off copkiller assault rifles like the racists carry at their Tea Parties. < /journalism major>

Spent some time at the shallow end of the gene pool(DU) while FR was down. One of them was using the word "teahadist" to describe all the violent tea-partiers.

Seventy attacks, seventy vehicles hit, seventy windows shot out, and nobody hurt.BB gun. Could have been hundreds of "attacks."

I called him a bad shot because I was under the assumption that he was aiming at the driver. In wich case he never learned how to lead a shot. If he was aiming for the rear window and hit it 70 out of 70 times then yeah, that’s pretty good.

Cannot find... let me know if you find one.

He was shooting a
BB gun, so the pellet would have expended its energy breaking the window, leaving little to harm somebody inside the car. Any misses would have left a nick on the car body or just landed on the roadway.
That said, they should give him a year for each incident, meaning he should never get out.

Buddy B was kind enough to do the research. This fellow was using a BB gun. Now, this is still a lot of malicious damage, and he needs to go to jail, but he is hardly a “sniper”. You would think the reporter would have found this important.
Thanks, Buddy B.
