Overlay the anarchist left's current anti-war cry that "it's all about oil" into the scenario and a possible profile emerges.

If the shootings were only at gas stations, I'd agree with you. But how do you factor in the other shootings?

Either there's some weird psychopath on the loose, or there is some foreign terrorist element at play ("I am God" notwithstanding).

We should send in Jimmy Carter to reason with this madman. Sorry, couldn't help the humor break.

Prayers to all victims and their families.

For one thing, the family that manages Michael's also has a lot of investments in oil, as well as energy companies. The only ones I can't figure out are the older man from DC and young boy from Bowie.
