There are many, many thousands of people who could "pull this off", meaning they could fire one shot and hit a person a reasonable distance away, then drive off. There is really no legendary marksmanship being displayed here beyond the average competent recreational shooter.

What we must be asking ourselves is, "what kind of person WOULD coldly shoot a wide spectrum of complete strangers, and what would be their objective?". I can only conclude that the shooter(s) wants to create chaos and terror by making everyone in the area scared to death to come out of their houses, thereby shutting down local society. Now that there has been a school shooting, many parents will refuse to allow their kids to go to school. I don't blame them a bit either. The wide variety of victims and the suburban settings would serve to terrify almost every sector of society. Lawn mowers. Soccer moms. ANY moms. Hispanics. Whites, blacks.

Although it would be premature to pin this on Islamists at this point, it sure stinks of someone who hates America and is actively trying to bring it down, hoping others will join in the attack...that points to either Islam or the DNC, or maybe some of the thousands of raging sign-bearers we saw over the weekend. I'm betting on Islam.

I agree that many recreational shooters could hit these targets. What the media seems to be missing as Sender says, who WOULD do this. Travis may be on to something about the Palestinians, but I just don't think so. They don't seem to have the requisite intelligence and they seem to have the need to either get caught and proclaim their faith or become martyrs. I still think this guy has to be one of a handful of assassins that could pull this off.

Then again, maybe I read too much pulp fiction.

Either way this is definitely coming from the muslims.
