“In the autumn of 2002, two deadly killers stalked the suburbs of Washington DC. They murdered people at random and left millions in fear. Their spree triggered one of the largest manhunts in American history, which eventually led to the capture of John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo.”

“Question: Did investigators initially think the DC sniper was a white male?

Answer: Yes. Criminal profilers predicted that the sniper was most likely a white male, but that assumption was based largely on the characteristics of past serial killers and not the sniper case itself.”

Re: 187 - Thanks. It’s usually the same FReepers over and over again. And the issue does not matter. Race, COVID-19, mass shootings, etc. Anything that can support a conspiracy is fair game.

why does leaving the weapon to be found mean this is a more skilled hitman?

Rush’s old FBI buddy, the late James Kallstrom, was all over TV screaming that the Bureau was looking in the wrong place. According to him it was white supremacists, militias that were rsponsible......until they weren’t.

Apparently some dude saw the shooter and watched. Could have at least thrown a rock. Better if he shot at the bastard instead.

5.56 can take off an arm and fatal head shots don’t leave much intact.
And a 9mm can blow a lung out. Thanks for coming out, Joe.

I guess the nose piercings and tattoos were not enough. The look at me, look at me crowd has to resort to mass killings to be famous.

If it wasn't obvious I am not sure I want to post a how-to manual in a public forum.

Without going in to much detail, if the weapon is discarded at the scene of the crime and it doesn't have prints or DNA on it, and it was stolen or bought for cash, then it doesn't tie any particular person to the crime.

And I think it is easier to blend into the crowd if you aren't carrying a rifle.

looks like he photo shopped himself in a jail cell.

It looks more like the output of one of those auto-background splicing algorithms. Note the artifacts around his hair.

Quick way to make a video - let zoom or some other video call service run its background substitution code and then grab the screen with the typical streaming service. Instant background without bothering with a real green screen setup.

Very possible. I think that’s what the Pulse Nightclub shooter used.

Oswald was 24 when he was shot by Jack Ruby. I don’t know what the other details you mention add up to. I know more details about the JFK assassination than about 99.99% of Americans, and now as of the last 24 hours we know more about Crimo in Highland Park, where I was born and went to High School. I brought 9-22-63 and LHO into my associations before I was even aware the aspiring rapper displayed a newspaper headline with LHO’s death on it in his video.There’s an obvious connection there just from the bare fact of a sniper positioning himself from the roof of a building along the ‘route’.
