Of course, you may suggest what you wish.
However, as an avid hunter and gun owner (bow hunting as well),my suggestion is that this person got his jollies off by interferring with a legitamte and desperate (and I repeat-desperate)search effort to find the madmen who were terrorizing much of the greater Washington DC and Virginia/Maryland areas.
Other gun owners possessing both a white van and a 223 Bushmaster had no problem cooperating with the FBI. This a$$hole, his stooge lawyer, and their liberal media Peter Jennings wannabees had their fun getting press while interferring with a massive and well justified manhunt.
Pathetic.
If they were so desparate to solve the case why weren't they doing good police work instead of toeing the Sarah Brady line
I really do not care if you are a hunter or not. I point out for your reference the Second Amendment is not about hunting.
I also point out the vetran who was shot by his spouse who happened to have a white van anbd a .223 rifle in Baltimore who was in custody when another shooting happened in the Beltway series. You seem to not wish to have Federal Law enforcement agents do the actual work of investigation and want them instead to practice a law enforcement technique more like that employed by Captain Louis Renneault in Casablanca to wit Round up twice the usual number of suspects. You have alleged this line of inquiry was legitmate but have yet to substantiate that with any logic or reasoning. If it were a legitimate line of inquiry why were the agens not cooperative with teh News Media documenting a legitimate line of inquiry? Further, as far as I know the FBI has never objected to someone having an attorney present during any legitimate questioning. Why were they upset if this was a legitmate form of inquiry? Unless and until these questions are answered it is merely another instance of the FBI performing unprofessiuonally when they need to not only be professional but appear that way. I note this episode occurred after the tarot card had turned up. In short this was during the time when they already had info leading to the 5% connection and a possible Muslim connection based up the exact phrasing. They also had the records from several road bloack intercepts that the chevy caprice with NJ plates was in the area of more multiple attacks. Following up on that lead would have been as simple as sorting plate numbers and tracing the most frequent hits, a simple computer program would have given them that lead and probably Mohammed and Malvo probaly before they shot their last several victims.
You place great emphasis on the desparation of the search for the shooter. This is all the more reason why the limited police resources available should have been put to the best use possible. Further, FBI agents should be polite to people they interview most particularly when they do not have evidence of any crime committed by that individual. It costs them nothing. It builds up a good rapport with the public. It encourages future cooperation from the public. The FBI and BATF should have been scrupulous about returning any firearm that was not an exact match to the owner of that firearm. If that had been the reputation beforehand then I doubt there would have been the learyness of seeing these agents.
Once more if you appreciate the FBI one should focus on improving it. We as a nation were subjected to a major terrorist attack about 14 months ago. The FBI needs to have the maximum trust and cooperation of the American people. Anything which cuts that trust and cooperation without a real tangible benefit must be viewed as a bad management practice and dangerous to our nation.
