WUSA-TV | Tuesday, October 8, 2002 | Kristinn

WUSA-TV 9 News in Washington, D.C. reported in its 11 p.m. broadcast that police found a tarot card and a note to police at the scene of yesterday's sniper shooting of a 13 year old boy at Tasker Middle School in Bowie, Md.

The tarot card was the 'Death' card. The message said, 'Dear policemen, I am God."

a shell casing was found

The shell casing is good news. A shell casing with one fingerprint is exactly what broke the case when that ME guy shot CIA people outside headquarters in Fairfax.

I don't remember the exact year it happened, but officials tracked that creep down in Pakistan, brought him back, and he's due to be executed sometime this year.

New theory: This guy may be "beyond himself" and under the influence of a drug. If that is the case, he will eventually "come down". It might explain why his aim and carefulness are folding up at the same time.

If he had leat an Ace of Spades, that might have indicated a GI/exGI that is/was assigned to a combat unit.

Could have just as easily left a blue, red or purple, or any number of colored "do" rags (or is it dew, doo, du, doo-doo? - hell who knows with gang lingo) related to that area for gangs. It wouldn't be hard to "do" (*ahem*)

"I was thinking today that the sniper must be a bit ticked that he has 2 survivors then wondered if he purposely didn't kill them."

How about that his first shot was at a "Michaels" store in Maryland - a miss, only hit a window.

Then he goes out of his way to find another Michaels, this one in Virginia, to make up for his "mistake."

It's about time. I know it's a long shot, but money might bring someone out who wouldn't talk just to be a good citizen.

Next question is would that please or pi** off the originals?

My guess is that the "originals" don't care. I believe the poor kid was the victim of a copycat nutcase, but the long distance sniper shootings last week were the result of (a) trained terrorist(s).

The police will have to match the bullet's rifling marks to make sure it isn't a copycat.

$237K reward? I'm thinking about going on a road trip to the DC area.

New clue, if you buy it. I'm not so sure. Sounds too much like the Manchurian Candidate.

Thanks for the report.

I suspect it is disinformation (either by the authorities or the sniper) however, since nothing was left at the other scenes.

I also suspect the sniper may have a connection of some kind to that particular school. I don't think that it's a coincidence that the child he shot is thirteen. Thirteen is the age of accountability in Christianity and the age of bar mitzvah in Judaism. Since muslims have "borrowed" from Judaism and Christianity to arrive at their warped beliefs, I suspect they have a similar belief--which means the sniper could justify shooting this child on the grounds that he really wasn't a child anymore.

I also suspect that we are looking for a black muslim from an al Fuqra cell. It's entirely possible that someone in his family knows this child at least enough in passing to know that he is thirteen and that he would be arriving at school at a time when a clean shot was likely.

The bandage on his head is from the last time he shot using a hold like that.
