Timeline of DC-area shootings

Are there any FReepers from the area who can shed light on the distances involved from site to site?

The Islamofascist taxicab driver doing the shooting has managed to put a Jewish angle on every single shooting except 1 - that's when he killed the only witness - the Indian taxicab driver who could probably identify him!

These locations are either Jewish neighborhoods (for the most part), or Jewish owned businesses, or businesses commonly believed by Middle-Eastern types to be Jewish owned.

It's just like the anthrax attack down in Florida. The next facility "downwind" of AMI was a state college with a predominantly Jewish student body.

Clearly this is an AlQaida thing going on here.

We just had another shooting near "Lily Pons".

I think this is a copycat from an episode of "Homicide."

Does anyone know the distance and traffic conditions between shootings #4 & #5? According to the timeline, there is a 25 minute time span there. From the map, those two locations are relatively far apart.

My question is; is it possible to get from point #4 to point #5 in 25 minutes at that time of the morning?

If it's not possible to make that trip, then it's real simple. There are at least two shooters!

look again - it was a 1 hour, 15 minute time span

Just an aside, regarding officer Moose, the head of the Montgomery police force.

I don't think he's the next Columbo or Dirty Harry, but he seems earnest and dedicated. The guy gives the press conference at the crack of dawn and is there again at night. I doubt he's gotten much sleep at all in days.

To be honest, I can't help think "hmm, is he an affirmative action pick?", which is one more reason that affirmative action is so insidious. I have no doubt that his race probably was a factor in the selection process.

But I would say that at least he is not an embarrassment, and seems mature and to be trying hard.

Your thoughts?

[Rockyrich]

I haven't heard whether people hear the rifle shots or are the shots being silenced? Does anyone know?

[Damocles]

Interestingly all the shootings take place in the early morning hours or late evening. Maybe this perp has somewhere to be during the day (school, work?).

[Fred Mertz]

I don't see a real pattern here. Just unarmed citizens doing capitalist activities and going to school.

I thought the shooter(s) would lie low after this weekend, but I was wrong about that.

[dd5339]

"— 8:12 a.m. Thursday, 10/3: Taxi driver Prenkumar Walekar, 54, of Olney killed as he pumped gas at station in Aspen Hill area.

— 8:37 a.m. Thursday, 10/3: Sarah Ramos, 34, of Silver Spring killed outside post office in Silver Spring."

Last I counted the little marks on my watch that time difference is 25 minutes. :-)

Interesting, this is the first I have heard of this, and I live not very far away from Montgomery County, MD. Out of curiosity, how do you know this?

[RolandBurnam]

wasnt there an al qaida threat against schools? the latest shooting was at a school...

[lugsoul]

You can count fine. It's the reading that seems to be the problem. The #4 and #5 from the list you reference are NOT the #4 and #5 from the map.

[aristeides]

Easy to get from Leisureworld to Kensington inside of an hour.

[Boxsford]

Some guy interviewed on FOX earlier today said he thought a silencer was being used since people were not hearing shots fired. That said, I saw only one interview held at a gas station where the cab driver was shot and he said he and another guy did hear a 'pop' sound and went outside to see what it was and found the cab driver shot.

[John H K]

Gosh, you mean you haven't driven through Bowie MD and Fredericksburg VA and seen all the Hasidic Jews walking around and the Synagogues every 10 feet?

Sarcasm off.

[abner]

I don't see a pattern either. Who knows, maybe it is too early in his game to have a pattern yet.

I thought he would lay low too.

[Boxsford]

Maybe we haven't heard about it because the media is too pc to mention this if it is a fact? That would pretty much klinch pointing fingers at muslims.

[LikeLight]

I have no idea whether or not these are Jewish neighborhoods . . . but IF true, then that's yet another Al Qeada warning we got during the past year (targeting Jewish neighborhoods) . . . Curious to find out if any accuracy to the characterization of these areas
