Your idea sort of fits in with my idea that the shooter(s) are psychotic leftists, acting against the clientele of chain stores and gas station. A campus would be a logical refuge for such personalities.

The school shooting seems to disrupt this hypothesis, but a
journalist friend of mine in DC is trying to determine what the kid was wearing when he was shot, he heard a witness say that the kid was wearing clothes emblazoned with the logo of a prominent line of men's clothing, but he has been unable to confirm this. Anyone have any info on that topic?

Just to clear it up - I'm being completely serious. My friend in DC thought I was nuts too. The more he has dug about this story, the more he is convinced that there is some type of thread connecting these killings, and that it has something to do with what the victims were doing, or where they were when they were shot. Note that last week there were major anticapitalist riots in DC.

I also think the islamic terrorist scenario is attractive, but there's actually less going for that scenario than mine, IMHO. They don't call them Islamokazees for nothing - these perps seem to be taking great care that they NOT be caught. I think an al Queda type would pick a far more prominent, target rich environment, and go down shooting.

But the profile of the leftist terrorist is different - note the hippie bombers and bank robbers who have lammed it for decades to escape justice. And contrary to popular belief, hippy terrorists have no fear of guns (note ELF and Black Panthers.)

In any event, I think it's obvious by now that the killer or killer is highly sophisticated, and there is some plan at work here.

I'm told it is in the vicinity and I'm looking at the irregular times and associated it with a "student" schedule rather than a "working" schedule.

Speaking of irregular schedules, my first thought after the Thursday morning shootings was that the guy worked the night shift somewhere. The first man was shot Wednesday evening at 6, then nothing all night long until early Thursday morning when the others were shot. And I do think he works in Montgomery County since that's where all of the killings initially took place. Just my 2 cents.
