He's targeting gas stations and chain stores (the woman on the bus bench was sitting in front of a chain restaurant). The kid who I hope is recovering was supposedly wearing a sweatshirt with a swoosh or other logo on it. The killer is an anarchistic eco-terrorist - there were anti capitalist, anti-corporate riots in DC only a few weeks ago.

Leftist terrorists, like the Unabomber, like to kill from a distance. The tarot card may be a reference to the societal change he hopes to provoke with his rampage. Tarot cards and hippies go together like Clinton and pudgy, trashy, postadolescent interns.

I would expect that even a domestic terrorist would go into DC rather than play around outside. Not to say, however, that the "weird White guy" might not have a skull full of lefty political ideas.

I love your style, but I think the eco-terror types like to be more specific with their targets. They like to go after logging equiipment, fur farms, lab-animal facilities, etc.

I don't think it's likely they'd push their cause by terrorizing the general population of the DC Beltway.
