shame on us for not overtly asserting security in our own vicinities, particularly asserting our right to self defense.

Uh, how do you defend yourself against a sniper who sneaks up, then runs?

This guy's only going to be caught by someone ratting him out.

"WMAL reporting Virginia State police are looking for two white men in a white vehicle, possibly a 4x4 pickup. "

White is the most common vehicle color.

Someone had been posting about the names of the victims and a possible connection. Anyone recall who it was?

There may be a piece of the puzzle in there.

Thanks

I don't think so. I think it's going to take a while to get this one. The Feds will have to get involved deeply.

I've seen quite a few leo's here in Illinois getting their heavy artillery that they (unoficially) carry in the trunk cleaned & sighted in in the last week.

Even though the current problem is in the DC area, I think everyone is getting nervous.

I know it sounds silly and vigilantistic, but man I'd sure bet all these bastard terrorists of all stripes would immediately wither back into their holes the day GW announced he was calling out the militia,

We cant stop old women and children from coming across the American border from Mexico, why should the terrorist be concerned?

Yeah, the Cleavers were a lie

Not really, much of the country back then reflected that show. Today is a whole different story.....

No way, it is definitely related. Few people are stupid enough to risk everything to pull a stunt like this. This is the 2nd shotgun shooting attempt today. The murderer changed guns, that should hardly be surprising. MO is too similar.

1. He's not really a sniper -- He's just a common killer. Real snipers have people shooting back. 2. If his objective is terror, through one-shot kills, a shotgun fits into his plans. 3. What he is doing, shooting civilians one at a time, could be done by any ordinary, dedicated terrorist.

I was commenting more on the media referring to it as a sniping and then saying it was a shotgun. It may be the same killer but with a shotgun its not a sniping really.

The killer might be trying to refute the "coward" statements by police and the governor yesterday if its the same guy.

From WUSA/Washington:
Shooting in Prince William County
by Mike Buchanan and 9 News

9 News has learned that an adult male was shot and killed Wednesday night at a Sunoco gas station at I-66 and Sudley road in Prince William County. 9 News has also learned that Montgomery County police are aware of the shooting and are sending a team of investigators to determine if it is related to the series of sniper attacks that have occurred around our region. Officials tell 9 News it is too early to tell if this shooting is linked.

A Virginia State Police spokeswoman says two men were seen driving away in a white vehicle after the shooting. She also said police were interviewing possible witnesses.

Also Wednesday, a man who was shooting a gun inside his home in Kensington, Maryland is in police custody. Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose says someone in the house called police shortly after 4 pm.

When officers got there, they found a man leaving the house. The man was taken into custody and is being questioned. Police say the man had several weapons in the house, and ammunition was found in the walls of the home.

Moose says the man has had prior contact with county police. Moose says it's too early to tell if this arrest is linked to the rash of sniper shootings in the area.

The death card can also be a card of 'change'.

Change of weapon?

But what kind of person would want to attack normalcy? Freepers, start profiling...
Was Leahy in the neighborhood? This could be a long list. Seriously, maybe someone with overly restrictive parents?

Natural Born Killers is a reflection of todays society.

I thought 'Natural Born Killers' met "today's society" in the 'Pulp Fiction' Dennys scene.
