You have a serial killer addicted to shooting gallery games. Only this time its not in an arcade, its with live humans. This guy is one sick, psychopath puppy.

Provocative theory, our first video game killer?

I personally have been wondering if it is a terrorist who dreamed up this scenario because he was out of touch with his leadership and frustrated, like the one who shot up LAX.

But your theory is more interesting.

If this guy was a video game killer he would be jumping around looking for powerups and trying to rocket jump his way to building roofs.
Whoever he is, he sure as hell learned to do this somewhere, but not likely from video games.

This article is just a whole ot of speculation by people with letters after their names who should know that one should base one's opinions on fact. As of now no one other than the sniper and any accomplises of the sniper knows the what is really motivating the shootings.

It may be some psychological game the sniper is playing but it may well be some sinister political motivation. The reason for speculation is to try and determine a logical means of finding and stopping the sniper. Unfortunately this article provides no new insights that lead us to that goal.

Not sure I buy this theory...the killer seems too patient and organized..."arcade addiction" brings to mind a teenager or young man who is out of touch with reality, he'd be losing it by now. After each success, in order to keep the "thrill" going, the "kills" would get closer together, more risky, but less planned-out...and I would think he would begin to pick off more than one person at each site (more like the arcade games). The fact that he shot the kid, but not the aunt shows extreme discipline (could be he shot the kid and immediately took off). Plus, unless they had a "buddy" who was in strict control, a psycho like this wouldn't be able to keep in what he was doing, he'd have to "brag" to someone about what was going on
