...profilers and law-enforcement officials said yesterday they couldn't understand
why the killer who has struck in Maryland, Virginia and the District wouldn't shoot
anyone over the weekend, but guesses ranged from him having more freedom to move
around on weekdays to him taking Saturday and Sunday off to enjoy or fantasize about his kills.
Well, I suppose it would just be too much like "profiling" to consider that
Muslims head for services at their Mosque of Fridays (at least on Friday afternoon here
in Los Angeles area) and are (as I'm told) usually kinda' inactive on Saturday's as well.
And if he/they like American pro football...that will mean Sundays are out.
Yes, I know one of the killings was after dark on Friday.
But even Islamic terrorists don't always keep on schedule.

I'm ever more strongly suspecting Islamic terrorists. You know why? An American type would be sensible enough to stay in Maryland, where the people are disarmed. Moving the scene of the crime to Virginia, where the whole population carries (the NRA national headquarters is right in the middle of the recent shootings on Rte. 66), this guy is going to turn a whole state into Flight 93. He's doomed.

If the Muslim sabbath is the same as the Jewish sabbbath, it's from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. I'm not sure, but I think some Muslims keep Mecca time.
Sunday would be quiet because there is too little traffic to cover the escape.
Things might be slowing down simply because of the number of people on the lookout. I personally believe there are a number of people involved other than the shooter. This means someone to plan, someone to scout the locatation and give the go-ahead, someone to decoy. Not to mention, each and every person involved would have an airtight alibi for at least one of the shootings.
