Should have added, although it's a stretch and I'm open to any possibility, given what happened during the Anthrax attacks, I'd say AQ is smart enough to plant a card that will direct LEO's to the homegrown theory. During the anthrax attacks, if it was AQ behind them, they were smart enough to primarily target Democrats and the liberal media, perhaps understanding our culture well enough to know that then investigators would think it's a white supremist. The New York Post article this morning suggests that because our soldiers in Vietnam left behind a calling card of some sort, that perhaps this is a psychotic war vet. If AQ has read some books and seen some movies that detail the same thing, we have some smart terrorists on our hands. I now it's a stretch and I'll be flamed for having an agenda and wanting it to be terrorists, but today's story that there were two men seen in that white vehicle just makes me feel that it's extremely unlikely we could have two homegrown nuts.

It was drizzling here in Montgomery Co. yesterday evening. My car skidded a bit when I left to go eat at 9 PM. Anybody know what the weather was like in Manassas?

Hey, I'd almost rather it be terrorists. I'm getting tired of the demonization of gun owners, defenders of liberty and white males. I find it especially timely considering the savagery and evil of the Wichita Horror was perpetrated by two black males.
As for why I'd prefer it to be terrorists, the people are dead or wounded, that won't change if it's a nut. It seems we aren't going to get serious about certain issues re: terrorists and their ilk until we start adding it all up.

I think your reasoning is sound here. None of us really knows who is doing this and we need to be open to any possibility until the actual perp is picked up. But there seems to be an overwhelming desire to have this be anything but an act of Islamo-fascist terror. I note the same tendancy with the anthrax attacks.
As I said in a post last night I don't care if its a Patagonian transsexual alpaca doing the shooting I want the shooter in custody and the shootings to stop. Yes, I know alpacas have a very difficult time dealing with triggers given that they have hoofs instead of fingers.
The key info it seems to me was until the school shooting there were no shell casings which might well indicate a firearm action other than semi-automatic and that the shell casing was deliberately placed by the shooter.
Maybe everything found at that scene was intentional misdirection from the shooter?
Maybe the tarot card was not placed by the shooter?
If it were AQ that were doing it and tey wished to maximize the length of time the team doing these actions could operate then such a note would make a great deal of sense.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
