Anyone know what a high intensity bullet is? < /sarcasm>
If these reporters and editors at all cared about accuracy in reporting, they'd find someone firearms-knowledgeable to review/edit their work before revealing their ignorance.
He's not arrested yet though. I wonder if they have any other suspects
oh my gosh! Hang him!
"You're afraid standing here that somebody might come along and shoot you -- you know it's possible," said Loretta Betesch, 42, an insurance saleswoman, pausing in a grocery store parking lot in Wheaton, where the first victim was gunned down on Wednesday. "It could happen anywhere. It's very unnerving."
Translation...........The sheep are getting nervous. There are predators about.
There were always predators around, but the sheep didn't pay attention until they were awakened by the media.
True --about someone shooting you or me, but folks should not be afraid. Since I live in KY, I can shoot back so the potential shooter needs have fear.
Now comes the part about the convenient suspect, hmmm?
Fits the description of who they WANT to have done the shootings perfectly.
Is there any evidence to the contrary, or are we now in a complete truth lockdown by the Socialist Politically-Corrupt Media?
Translation: We have a meth freak here, folks. Completely paranoid, delusional and as mean and hostile as a swarm of Africanized bees.
The article says: "the victims most likely were shot by a sniper using high-intensity .223-caliber bullets of the sort used by rifle hunters"
Rifle hunters? What the hell is a "rifle hunter"? Oh yeah, that must be that RKBA thing. You know, the Right to Keep Bears Armed. Thanks to those nuts, we now must stalk the forests hunting for rifle toting bears. When will we ever learn? The Second Amendment does NOT apply to postal workers or bears.
So what have we learned about the reporter that wrote this story? He is a low intensity moron writing about high intensity bullets. Talk about a match made in heaven.

Same tactic as many country boys around here use to poach deer out of season .
The truck also serves as a sort of silencer, at least outside of the truck.
Just in time for the election. I wonder which Democrat made the police point to this guy.
Maybe they have some info which is not being given out, but just being a white guy who is missing doesn't mean anything. Oh yes he is one of those evil "associated with various militia etc. groups guys" better shoot on sight.
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.
The .223 case is "outsized" and "packed with extra powder"?? That is a ridiculous characterization of the cartridge. Does this "federal expert", probably an ATF JBT, know what he's talking about, or is he just trying to demonize a very popular target and varmint hunting round in the minds of the frightened soccer moms? I think the answer may be yes and yes.
First, the .223 cartridge is anything but "outsized", it's a very small case compared to most centerfire rounds. Second, if you "pack" it with "extra powder" you'll most likely lose a few fingers and maybe an eye when the case head separates or the rifle barrel bursts. Any reloader knows that "extra" powder, small capacity cases, and small bore diameters like the .223 add up to a very dangerous combination.
Seems to me the "authorities" in MD are going way out of their way to turn this tragic incident into a major anti-gun event. I noticed on the news shows last night the MD cops were exhibiting an assortment of mean-looking military style black rifles as examples of the type of firearm they think the shooter used. Not one of them was a regular wood stocked sporting type rifle, which is just as likely to be what the killer used as any of the rifles they were showing. That shows me the liberal gun-hating MD authorities are trying to blame these murders on "evil" black guns instead of the murderer himself.
HCI and VPC couldn't ask for a better job of frightening the sheeple about those evil so-called assault rifles in private hands than the ATF and MD LE is doing. One of the cops even asked that people who know of anyone who owns one of those type rifles to report it to the cops. The implication being that anyone who owns one is the type of unstable person who could go off on a murderous shooting spree at any moment. They should be trying to calm the public's fears instead of inflaming them by insinuating that one of their neighbors may be a whacked out gun nut with an arsenal of "assault" rifles who goes around shooting people with "outsized" cartridges "packed with extra powder".
