I predict that when he does hit, it will be anywhere but a gas station. I imagine every news channel in the DC area will be wall to wall with TV coverage of gas stations.

Imagine the coverage of snow events where each channel has a reporter standing outside covering the snow fall. Well, each station will have a mobile unit at some gas station today. The new anchors will cut to them periodically to see if anyone has been shot on TV.

Of course, I could be wrong. The TCK could see this as a challenge and take out a reporter. One wonders if any of them will be wearing body armor and steel helmets. One also wonders if there might be some practical jokers with a few firecrackers around gas stations.

Looks to me that when he hits he is now able to create maximum chaos. Due to the new police tactic of closing off major highways and trying to find that elusive white van. Or was it a truck?

This sniper can actually hurt the regional economy a bit. Would not suprise me at all if this was a sideshow for the main event of a larger Al Qaeda attack.

Wouldn't do them much good. 5.56 FMJ will go through the Kevlar "Fritz" helmet, as it would the old steel pot. Similarly, unless they are using ceramic insert trama plates, very heavy and uncomfortable, a 55 grain .224" FMJ bullet at 3000 fps will hardly notice the kevlar.
