looks like a sleeper cell..and with the timing of the latest tape

Terrorism fits into this scenario more than any other profile I've heard from the so-called experts. It's not some lone gunman from the hills terrorizing the midwest. It's DC - the capital. The tapes you refer to specifally address DC and NY. They want media attention - by doing a night snipe in the DC area he gets live international coverage.

witnesses say it was a single shot to the head.

If it is indeed related, then the driver-shooter team switched again tonight. The best shooter, the one who shoots from inside the van, never misses and always kills his victim with a shot to the head, is back... The less skilled one who was driving tonight is the one who goes outside the van to shoot and whose victims survive.

If this is not the sniper, then what? What's the motive?Not a robbery from all accounts. All that's left is a "hit" or gang-style "drive by". This doesn't seem to be your normal "drive by", neither in terms of the victim, nor the location of the shooting.

I'm left to conclude that shotgun or no shotgun, this is the same perp responsible for the other shootings. After cops said that kids were safe, he shot a kid. Now that everyone has been calling him/they a coward, he drives into a well lit, busy area and gets a littler more up close.

It has to be the same guy.

I'm not trying to make too big a deal about it. Had it been on another thread with a less serious subject, and not addressed to a lady, I wouldn't have said anything.

Anyway, the point was made, now its back to this thread.

They said two in a white van. Sooooo.....weren't there two suppose to be in a white truck in all the other shootings, too?

The Price William Police spokesman said the white van was an early report put out by the Virginia State Police and they could not verify that information.

A line connecting the dots looks like some of the gang graffiti I was this week in Chicago.

agree with your #462. Notice they heard a muffled backfire, as could be from a truck.

I think alignment of the shot from a truck is their first priority then getaway access to a road. Just like in their plan on the film. This is gonna be a tough one.

Pray it may never come to this, but we must prepare ourselves.

After 9/11 we should be prepared for anything during this war on terrorism

Ajl,

Maybe that is the jewish perspective, but from a christian perspective it is clear that it is Christ who will judge. as can be seen in this passage from Act 10

40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen--by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

You can also refer to 2nd Timothy chapter 4 and 1st Peter chapter 4 as well.

Pete, is mannassa (spelling) in that direction?

You must be a Yankee. If so, you are allowed to spell it "Bull Run". There were a couple little skirmishes there during the war between the states. We won both of them.

That is where Stonewall Jackson earned his nickname. It was actually awarded to his battalion by General Bee, but it stuck to Jackson. Bee got killed.

There's a cute story about Jackson from out of the war with Mexico. He set up a cannon in front of a fort. It was close to suicide, but he managed to survive it. Not by much though.

Asked later why he didn't pull back, be responded something to the effect that he wasn't ordered to pull back.

Speculation about "Z" or other "map tracings":

Combining this with a possible ME terrorist situation, I wonder if this map pattern looks like anything in Arabic.
