A really, really, really strange headline (but it's Newsmax, so to be expected.)
There's been no OFFICIAL profile, I believe, that's been made public.
Most profiles are for white males because almost all violent crime is committed by males, and there are a lot more whites in the country than anything else. Plain and simple. Gives you maximum odds of being right.
And we don't know who the perpetrator is, so one really can't say that profiling has "misfired."

And we don't know who the perpetrator is, so one really can't say that profiling has "misfired." CNN gave profile as per usual White male, 18-34 years, problem with women, loner .... etc, etc.
Best clue now is white van with two people. Some loner.
Sounds exactly like the profile for the Anthrax mailer.
