Really? And what military training or cultish devotion did the kids who shot up a few schools awhile back have? For that matter, what reason did they have?

The profilers on TV, for what it's worth, are leaning toward the "thrill" kill, rather than organized terrorist attacks..Cat and mouse.

It's all just profiling and speculation at this point.

Really?

Really.

Here's another possibility: A guy in my office recalls a situation many years ago involving mulitiple murders in the same area over a several week period that appeared connected in MO, but random in the selection of the victims. The initial police profile pointed to a psycho-serial killer. In fact, when the killer was finally caught the evidence showed that the killer and one of the victims knew each other (the guy in my office thinks they were involved in a business deal gone sour), and he killed the other victims in random fashion to send the police on a wild goose chase.

Perhaps. But there seems to be a certain coolness, patience, and care to these shootings that suggest the sniper is no mere "thrill" killer. They have been carried out from a distance over the span of several days and there are no solid leads. The other notorious school-killings were carried out close-in by severely unbalanced persons whose identities and motives were almost immediatey known.

There appears to be some method to this madness. Time will tell.
