In the USA, the phone switches can redirect almost any phone number.

TOL, the .223 shoots a very flat trajectory. Sight it in at 100 yards and it will be within an inch of center out to about 150 yards.

You've obviously made up your mind...

*shrug* Your guess is as good as mine. Nobody had gotten hit for five days. If he's doing this for kicks, I don't think he could go that long. I think he's either had one in his sights he didn't take, or he's missed once or twice.
To: snippy_about_it
Yup!...............
In my scenario, crazy as it may be, the sniper would have told the chief exactly what to say and the sniper would know what he meant.
Select #1, #2, #3,....or,...#4.
You got it!

Hmmm, then only Moose and co. know what that message meant.
Does anyone know anther theory apart from the phone booth scenario (unless of course Moose and his fellow cops are just trying to bluff to the media they know what they are doing)?
To: John Jamieson
You'd be too late. Those bullets do 3,000 ft/sec, about 3 times the speed of sound. And yes, you'd be on the ground all rightHehe, that last part is funny. LOL: you'd be on the ground all right. Funny, but true.
By the time a person heard the ping of the rifle round he would be ringing St. Peter's desk. By the time the sound from a bullet travelling at Mach 3 reaches a person's ear that person is either dead or the bullet missed him.

Yes, the crazy white guy with a new gun makes no sense to me. He's not shooting politicians, or ethnics.
BL told us what he was going to do. What's so hard to see here?
To: The Red Zone
I have skimmed through some of the 500+ posts, so if someone else has mentioned this before, forgive me! I saw on another board (Starts with a "L") that someone made the point that the number left behind could have been 911, and of course the sniper could call that number and leave it...My mind also thought of 9-11 instead of 911.......has 911 be mentioned 100 times before????
To: Doohickey
You and everyone else on FR as usual have so many great ideas. I am now going back and forth between thinking its a psycho or its a terrorist. God help us either way.
Til next time, EarlyBird

BL told us what he was going to do. What's so hard to see here? And they trained in groups of 3. One shooter, one get away driver, and one diversion.
To: aristeides
It's not likely that a ME terorist would leave a number for the police. Why not?
Try the exploding hand sets at pay phones as used by the IDF against the pallies.
To: The Red Zone
If I heard a zing I wouldn't even wait for the bang, I'd be on the ground in an instant. A bullet traveling at 3000 feet/second doesn't "zing". What you hear is more like a crackling or ripping sound, as the bullet breaks the sound barrier.
And, by the time you heard it, it would already be past you or in you.
To: spetznaz
I said earlier that he could have left the number to the Ponderosa. No need to go find a public phone and take down the number...just call information or look in a phone book.
To: John Jamieson
Why do you assume crazy guys have to be white? I don't.

Yes and it fits in a weird sort of way. LE has been begging this guy(s) to call or write all along. They could be baiting him.
To: GeorgeandtheDralgore
No, but Nancy Grace does.
To: GeorgeandtheDralgore
Why do you assume crazy guys have to be white? I don't. Because they're the only race it's politically correct to demonize. The rest are "victims of society."
To: spetznaz
Again, I'm talking about a miss, not a Superman-act of dodging a correctly aimed bullet. We have never yet had a report of more than one bullet being found at one of these shootings, which would be the case if there was one or more initial miss but a second (third etc.) shot was made quickly enough to kill the target.
To: Lucas1
"closing schools".....if this keeps up, the only people on the roads will be the sniper and the police.
