This has illustrated why the anti-gun crowd is so stupid. The assault weapons ban was stupid. A sniper poses a greater threat than some bozo with an automatic weapon. Why? Snipers hit what they shoot at and then get away, to kill again. Idiots with automatic weapons shoot wildly, get spotted, and then get apprehended/killed.

However diabolical, terrorists have some purpose.

Anciently (Christ's time and such) there was no pattern or purpose necessarily. That's exactly why it brought terror to society. Here's hoping that they won't be able to keep their mouths shut and that they are rendered immediate justice because they try to resist.

"Shooting a kid - it's getting to be really, really personal now."

I can't get over how stupid and insensitive that statement is, no matter how many times I see it.

However diabolical, terrorists have some purpose. Certain targets make sense to them; the buildings and airplanes they destroyed were chosen with great deliberation even if the people inside them were not.

Tell that to the Israelis, who get blown up or shot on buses or in pizzerias.

I'm not one of the "it must be Muslims" crowd, but if this is Arab or Muslim terrorism, no one should be surprised by the method used.

Has anyone cross referenced the time of the shootings to the local Muslim time for "prayers" 5 times a day?

Nothing about the sniper was making sense to anyone.
