I ignore most of your postings about the sniper because I disagree with them. I believe you are out in left field.

I would love nothing more then to hear someone took out this shooter(s). If the police do it, great, if someone in public does it, even better.

Maybe someone in the area can help us out. When searching for the town names I found the names of the towns the victims resident in but am having trouble finding the name, state of the residence of each victim.

Unless it was a solid lead slug...longer range ,

Or a sabot type slug, still longer range...and something like getting hit with a sledge hammer. The conventioal rifled slug, Foster or Brenke, would be pretty much equivalent to being shot with a Revolutionary war era Pennsylvania Rifle. The sabot slug would be worse. Either probably good to 100 yards, especially the sabot type. The sabots take a special shotgun though to get maximum range and accuracy, one with a rifled barrel.

OK, thanks. Don't know if I'll be able to last...zzzz... Now talking about the rationale of officials' repeated use of the term "coward." Psychological warfare will cause more deaths, one caller fears.

"Channel 5 is saying it was cancelled and when they have some information to release, they will schedule a press conference."

"Channel 5 said it would be a long night."

I guess the media is being punished for being bad last night. Now they (we) don't get any information.
I know,I know...I'm trying not to be negative.

Look at the map for what it is...A little war map...a plan of operations. (avoiding DC proper).

To date, it tells them where our resources will come from, how we operate and how we think.

Next up a .223 sabot fired from a long long long way from a 0.5 BMG caliber rifle.

How many news outfits drive white vehicles similar to description? It would be an easy way to move in and out in plain sight.... also why the death card??? The next card, # 14 (temperance), portrays the Archgangel Michael..... also, this angel has prominence in Christian, Jew and Muslim religions. Try a word search on Google. There is a significant date associated with Michael, on Sept. 29.... However, the first shooting was on Oct. 2?

Just thinking out loud.

A magnetized flechette round will hold a 4"-6" group at 200 yd.

But that ammo would definitly be traceable.

While Wiccans have probably took the Hebrew meaning of the name Michael as their own, it is indeed a Hebrew name meaning Who is like God.

Maybe you're right about the Wiccans, but from what I just read, it turns out that it's Shirley McLaine in "Out on a Limb" who started the "I am God" business that became the mantra of the New Agers. I don't know if Wiccans are considered New Agers or something else though...

The TV showed a white police truck parked in the gas station.

Good fact sheet at foxnews.com, but they don't specify the locations of the attacks by city/town. The first five attacks occurred within five miles of each other. Do you know if there is a Civil War battlefield in that area?

Thanks for the updated graphic!

The dots are no longer in the same place...right? Are 7 & 8 reversed between the 2 maps? If so which one is correct? This is wierd.
