I like the question mark! LOL!
Now, to grab some airtime, will his be played up as a Hatfill, an Oswald, a McVeigh or a Sirhan-Sirhan?
To: thepitts
Many country boys are poachers? BS.
I didn't say all or most, but its not uncommon here. Dirt road driving, and taking shots at deer and turkey from inside the cab is no new thing around here.

hunch agreement on the copycat aspect in fredericksburg ...

Unless maybe he was the hookup for the firearms used, or the vehicles maybe.
I wonder if it will quietly emerge that they've been looking for a missing individual who has spent the last week in jail somewhere? That won't look too good....
To: tomkat
Yeah,it must be a real bummer to a bunch of people that they might not be able to blame an "evil white gun nut" for these cowardly murders.
To: Cobra Scott
This still doesnt explain the fact that at least up until today, this is judged as a probable conspiracy. That there are two men or suspects in the vehicle, a driver and a shooter. A conspiracy adds a whole different dimension. Also, one shooter brings up a good point. Here we are still in a semi national state of emergency at code yellow, and sleeper cells are being broken up, and we know of the al Qaida training and intent to perform random killings from motorways in the US due to their training camp activities near Kandahar and the worldwide network

It's late here! LOL! Mistook shooter for 'poster'. Arghhh...
To: fone
Naw, looks like a mini-Hatfill in the making. What do you bet that he will remain "a person of interest"?
To: thepitts
Just like the anthrax killer. They won't even discuss the possibility that it is Moslem extremists.
Now they are saying this guy isn't linked to the killings. He must have an airtight alibi or he would be their patsy.
They won't even say what he did previously, except he didn't wear a seat belt. It is all by innuendo, nothing concrete.
The FBI must be operating with Clinton holdovers in charge. Is a seat belt charge enough to get your picture plastered all over the country as the shooter?
To: Catspaw
See #19.Sorry I couldn't link you.

Thanks for replying. Now I've seen threads that discount the suspect pictured in this thread (See Post #16). Also, new thread says police suspect shooter may be high on cocaine and a diabetic. #1: If they have that much info - why no new photo or description? #2: Typically, users and diabetics aren't very steady and the shooter has unfortunately good accuracy. I just hope they get him soon but it seems the police don't really have much to go on.

Like the LAX shootings. < /sarcasm>
To: Peach
I just hope they get him soon but it seems the police don't really have much to go on. not that i'm knockin'em much, 'cause these shooter(s) are 'good',
but my sense is that the cops are still pretty clueless on this.
fwiw, i'm still thinking fredericksburg is a copycat,
and this whole 'white box truck' thing was erroneous from the start,
and is diverting manpower that could be better used elsewhere ...

Here in Virginia we are equally well armed and can shoot back. Didn't stop this nutcase.
BTW, did you notice that this is exactly the way Dr. Slepian was killed up in Buffalo?
Maybe the "fibbies" have the wrong guy in custody!

a 1975 graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill. I used to have a fairly high opinion of this institution; however, I may have to reconsider. This guy Moose can barely speak. Yesterday at a news conference someone asked him if he was frustrated by the investigation and he proceeded to explain, over and over, that he was indeed not "flushstrated wiff" the investigation.
Not trying to be mean here, but this guy is a graduate of a respected college and is the chief of police in a hugely populated county considered one of the wealthiest in the country. One would think they could find someone who can speak English. It also makes me wonder about the quality of the investigation. Thankfully, the Feds are involved.

Good (and chilling) points. Here's my thoughts:
If the shootings were from the same firearm, then the shooter was carrying it. I'm leaning towards multiple shooters because of this. I've shot from an Impala, you can't hit anything easily, you are positioned all wrong (and the blast will blow 15 years of dust and grime off the dash into your face :) ). He or she is extricating with the firearm with help.
Now, "why" is another thing. I think the motivation is terrorism. I don't think its a conspiracy by the antis, or the DNC, or the ZOG ambassador to Zeta Reticuli.
As for the "who", I think that since the Israelis cracked down (maybe not hard enough), Western cells are now vieing for those islamo-dollars that go into arafat's swiss account. Capitalism is an addictive thing. Now we need to introduce them to another concept, Justice.
