IMHO, the tarot card is a red herring. Here's my theory. I think this guy is a non-muslim (ex-spetsnaz or ex-military from the Yugoslavian civuil war) assassin paid by the muslims to promote terror.
I hope this doesn't put me in the tin foil category.

If anyone has time today and is so inclined, you can listen to the Prince George County or Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Dispatches on the internet at http://www.sconfire.com/livedispatch.htm. The links are on the right side about halfway down.
I will try to be tuning in through out the day as well.

In the NY Post today said that there may be a Vietnam link.
Here is what they said:
Vietnam vets say snipers who led U.S. search-and-destroy missions were said to be "taking God's view" when they took up positions in high ground - which makes the God reference in the killer's taunting note doubly suspicious.
During the Vietnam War, some soldiers put death cards in the mouths of the slain enemy; others nailed the cards to the foreheads, and still others dropped them from the air.
Retired Lt. Col. Michael Lee who wrote a history of snipers in Vietnam said many of them used the ace of spades as a calling card because the Vietnamese considered it a death card.
Another theory that is being thrown around today is that if there are two people involved it might be that they are having a contest between them as to who can shoot better. Its Sickening if that is the case.

On one long thread, which I wasn't going to wade through, Fox was apparently reporting it was a shotgun. From the sounds of it, that theory has gone away -- at least, it doesn't seem to be mentioned anymore.
What's the latest on that?

This guy likes gas stations. Strategic reasons or political ? It does offer a number of strategic advantages because the target will be still while pumping gas.
FWIW, I think I'll pump my gas with my head lower than the car. They should at least bring back the locks that allow you to leave the pump. This should be done immediately in that area.

Ollie North shot down the Vietnam Vet thing, saying that it would be pretty difficult for an aged V Vet to pull off such precise shooting.
If the two-mkan theory is true, I like the theory that it may be two men in competition with each other to see who is the better shot. A sick and twisted game of one upmanship.

All of the locations - except maybe the school, not familiar with that area - are on major access roads. Big 4 lanes with tons of traffic.
Easy in and out, lots of covering noise and background to blend into.
Get your gas off the beaten path.

I'm not sure if I have the shooting times exactly right but here are the prayer times for that local area. For Oct 1 - Oct-8. There does not APPEAR to be any shootings closer than 45 minutes to one of the prayer times. Sorry for the bad formatting.

Could be. The competition theory would make them younger in their 20's or early thirties. Hear the tarot people are up in arms because that card that they used does not mean death. It means transition or movement. Apprently these guys are immature cowardly punks who haven't even done their homework and are playing stupid games with the police. They are on this major power trip and the police should not fall into their traps which I think Moose is doing already by getting upset about the tarot card.

A young woman in our office has family living in that immediate area.
Her parents were in the Lowes store across the street from the gas station last night when the attack occurred.
They came out of Lowes to see several helicopters, and scores of police vehicles converging on the site.
They are both fine, and it now appears there is no limit to the police response when this happens.

It would improve thread loading speeds considerably if you posted a link to you most recent compendium of threads and info rather than copying it on every related thread. Thanks.

I think it's *great* that you took the time and posted the compendium of information here. As someone who lives in the DC area, I think it's an important context for a discussion on any thread. So thank you very much!
To: FreeTheHostages; ~Kim4VRWC's~
I agree....the info is pertinent and it's easy to find when needing it while reading the thread.

IMHO, the tarot card is a red herringI have been hearing the reports that there was something else written on the card that they have not released to the public. Yesterday I had a theory that the President's life was threatened and that was why his bodyguards were helping look for the killer. What do you think of that theory?
It doesn't put you in the TinFoil crowd at all.
