At first I thought it was a terrorist cell. Then a couple of things occurred to me: Sniping isn't exactly arab/muslim style, if you get my drift.

NOT TO STEREOTYPE OR ANYTHING, but it seems that arabs/muslims generally like for stuff to blow up real big and have lots of wounded victims for psychological effect, especially women and kids.

Also, consider this: Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols took an afternoon off from whatever their day jobs were, stirred up some fertilizer and diesel fuel from some plans they got off the internet and blew up a whole federal building, right?

If it's that damn easy, why wouldn't terrorists do that instead of going to all the trouble of shooting individual people and taking the risk of getting caught at it? (/end sarcasm)

An MSNBC popup came up on my computer with the following link:Looking Back: The Sniper of Long Island I forgot all about this guy.

I'd thought, like you, it was probably a terrorist cell, until I heard about the tarot card. Now, I just think he's a homegrown nutjob, but am keeping an open mind. Steven Emerson's book American Jihad talked about smaller, individual sleeper cell jobs similar to this, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. If it isn't Islamanazi terrorism this time, someday it will be. Unfortunately.
