Good question. The moon is quite symbolic in tarot card reading. The freeper who drafted the crescent moon from the killing map may not have been so far off the mark. The death card - death to who? Death to men? women? children? the elderly? whites? blacks? hispanics? asians? Or simply put -- death to Americans. I wouldn't so readily dismiss the recent al qaeda threats. Who ever is doing this is a ruthless trained killer, such as one might find in a training camp in Afghanistan
I agree that he is a trained killer, but the amount of training it would take to make the shots he's making is minimal. I'm getting tired of hearing people (even Hannity) saying how it takes "years of training" to be this "good." I tend to agree with the Navy Sniper I heard on TV yesterday saying you could just about train a monkey to do this kind of thing accurately.
One sick monkey, IMO! What we need are more people out there with concealed carry permits so they can effectively stop this guy when they see him.
Has anyone mentioned that this guy might be using a silencer as well, or has that been ruled out? I would think that would make it even easier to get closer and avoid detection.
As I understand, snipers who have 'years of training' are those that routinely make shots many times farther than this creep is making.
Just thinking about the apparent deviation out of pattern in Fredricksburgh - which has been bothering me - the shooter MAY be trying to make a "sickle" out of map points.
