Even though it does describe the classic profile of such a shooter.

Gus - I have been following this quite closely as the first Spotsy shooting occured where we shop and my wife was just a mile away during the Four-Mile-Fork shooting. Our kids have been in "lock down" with no outside events for almost two weeks now. The point being here, again, is that I am following this closely and disagree with your point that the "angry white male" theory is the classic profile of "such a shooter". While not discounting that it could be an angry white male, there is no precedence here. This shooter (possibly accompanied by accomplices) does not fit the profile. So where does that leave us?

Dave - The "angry white male" theory or any of the others posted here on FR are NOT mine. I have merely pointed out one of the most common theories that have been discussed all over the media since day one.

However, regarding this particular criminal case, I find it rather amusing that several of those on FR who were so quick to profile men of Middle Eastern descent are now whining about the fact that profiles discussed more similar to their own personal demographics are being used by law enforcement to harass their own, so to speak.

And no, this is not a personal slam against you or any of my other friends here on FR. However, I have noticed that some people here on FR chose to criticize my style or parse my words in order to attempt to debunk any of my postings that they do not have a valid counter-argument to.

I just hate it when conservatives use the same style of discussion that James Carville and Paul Begala do best - that is resort to ad hominems when all else fails. And this has been one my own personal beefs here all along.

I realize these are very tense times we are living in, especially here in the DC area, but, all this scapegoating crap being flung out all over the airwaves and even on FR can be rather annoying, to say the least. And I am NOT talking about you or yours.

Okay, rant off now. Peace.

As you probably guessed, Dave, the community (especially the school) situations here in MoCo have been quite horrendous since day one of the shootings. As you also know, the many (volunteer) leadership hats I wear in this community has resulted in a lot of tugging from all "sides" in the hate violence, RKBA and political debates. I will continue to maintain a low public profile so as not to compromise any other positive measures that local LEO and others are taking now. However, I will continue to give the highest priority to RKBA, my local community and political committments, over that of all other non-personal agendas.

Please keep up the great work you are doing down there and let's all continue to work together with our local LEOs to help catch these murderer(s) without further contributing to the erosion of our civil and constitutional rights as Americans. Hope to see you out there on the streets again (time allowing)!
