This Guy Must Be Ex-Military

Posted on 10/11/2002 1:54:26 PM PDT by GulliverSwift

This guy must be ex-military. Look at his skill in slipping away, only trained snipers can do that.

The most recent shooting in Virginia happened when he shot the guy with a police officer 50 yards away. Dang, how do you slip away from that?

That's one of the things they know how to do, not only shoot the guy, but slip away with skill.

Either that or these Washington-area police are complete bafoons, which I'm willing to accept. All looking for a white van, even though there are so many white vans out there you could count 30 easily if you stand by the road.

" 2. The use of weapons from vehicles "

This is what I was thinking, but not just a drive by. He parks the van, opens the back door a crack and waits. When a victim enters his line of sight, he fires, shuts the door and calmly drives off. Firing inside the windowless van provides good cover, helps muffle the sound and no time is lost getting to the getaway vehicle.

I believe that somewhere in Chief Moose's tip line is the clue that solves the case. After all someone must have seen something. Today the news media said the tip line was getting up to one thousand calls per hour; therefore, depending on personnel available to follow tips, I look for this to be over in three or four days.

My guess is the obvious, a license plate number. And I believe it will be one or two white persons. My wild guess, but I'm stickin to it.

Trouble is, I suspect these guys have been being tipped off from the inside. They could be tipped off on the password too.

I highly suspect this is the case.

What if his selections are completely random, say using a computer to randomize his targets. First randomly select venue, Gas Station, School, Store et al, then randomly select date, time, and location?

Once again, maybe Im giving this guy too much credit.

>That's funny. I had exactly the opposite hope

Well, I just got off the phone with an old friend and he agrees with you. Two against one. You guys win.

Why didn't they remove the threat? Why didn't they shoot the cop?

Power. To show that the police cannot protect anyone. The sniper was showing the cop, see, that 'could' have been you. The sniper gets to 'choose' who lives, who dies.

No. A .223 is more of an urban 'counter-sniper' round.

That is to say that most cops have AR-15s or similar rifles in their lockers and would use them to take out a sniper, if they can find him. From libkill, here

It keeps springing to me that this shooter might have issue with the Homeland Security, which the Senate began considering 10/1. I wonder what all recent assignments/budgets involve the .223.

I wonder also which exact Tarot card was left.

Like hired by the leftist in this country or the UN to bring about more gun control.
Ever take notice the lack of school shootings since Billy boy left office.

Yea, there are a lot of folks that have noticed, they are the ones that you hear about that have committed no crime, but someone got mad at them and blew smoke to the LEO's that they were "stockpiling guns."

Now, when someone has committed no crime and needs to be crucified in the press to justify LEO slamming the guy and stealing his gear... he is accused of "stockpiling"

No one ever says this is a crime, but useful idiots, like good little sheep, accept the excuse (propaganda) of "stockpiling."  It is what is replacing "school shootings" and "white separatists" that have been officially "profiled" as being "loners."

With the number of unsolved drive-by shootings around the country, what stands out as ex-military about this guy??

Were the White Russians anti-Czar?

No, the Whites supported the monarchy. The Bolsheviks (Reds) were anti-Tsar.

Especially since any so-called "foreign looking", "suspicious" characters seen down in THOSE particular areas of Virginia would have attracted more attention from the local folks than someone who looks more "like from 'round here". ;-)

You obviously do not live or travel in this area and are completely ignorant of the cultural diversity of the area.
