It seems to me this is now a 'you can't catch me' game.

Wednesday night was a trial run--a see-how-it-feels exercise. Thursday morning was the main event. The one shooting Thursday night and this afternoon's were done just to mess with the cops.

I expect another cluster this weekend or early next week in a different locale, perhaps in rural Maryland.

I hope they're caught (and killed) before the next shooting.

When we meet on Wednesday I'll tell you a great and wonderful story about Lt. Dave Jackson, the guy assigned to NW shooting. It's about his industry in helping put away a serial killer (drug enforcer for the P Street crew, "Kennyman"). A guy so dangerous that a retired police detective & decorated Vietnam vet tried to refuse service and risked contempt rather than testify for the government on the case, lest Kennyman kill him next. Lt. Jackson's work on this case was a brilliant, quick-thinking and brave bit of policework. I don't have enough good things to say about this guy. Why he still tolerates working for the DC police is the only question. I suspect he really cares and knows he can make a difference. God bless such people.

"It seems to me this is now a 'you can't catch me' game."

Yup.

The fact that the shooting spree started off Wednesday night across the street from a police station supports your idea that this is a "you can't catch me" game.
