But that still doesn't explain why the killer has a particular dislike for Michaels patrons. Perhaps he was traumatized by a particular episode of the Martha Stewart Living show?

What's all this I keep hearing about Michael's? I take it's a store in America? Were all the victims patrons? Is this the same as being a WalMart's patron? I don't mean that snidely, I don't know what they sell at Michael's. Do they sell things there that only a select crowd would buy or would the average shopper be likely to visit the store if there were one in the area? If so, I don't see the connection- I mean even I have been in a WalMart's although I don't live in the USA. I would imagine most people in the WTC that day had been in one as well but I wouldn't see this as a connection.

How does the young boy fit into that? He was shot at school wasn't he? Sounds to me like the sniper was laying up waiting for the first good shot he could get at somebody at the school and he took the first thing that looked good to him.

Michael's is an arts & crafts store in the area....some are wondering if Mr. Sick Nutbag is thinking of a more "heavenly" Michael and just using the craft store as a way to 'identify' or as a symbol...and also wondering about the two shootings that took place at the 'Gates of Heaven' cemetary.

Michael's is an arts and crafts store. Actually, it's 90% crafts, 9% overpriced flimsy furniture, and 1% art supplies-I go there for the 1%, as there simply aren't enough art supply sources in west central Mo for me to be picky. The customers are IMO absolutely average : The racial breakdown seems to be in line with the population in the areas where the stores are located. The income level seems to be $25,000-75,000. Not upscale but not 'dollar store', either. Just completely average.

It's a chain of sewing, arts & crafts supplies stores with numerous locations in the "mid-atlantic" States. They're quite common in Maryland and Virginia, but not as common as Wal*Mart. Their clientele is mostly middle aged women and schoolchildren. And the odd occasional Bustard.
