This would really screw up civilian law enforcement. How could you tell "good" snipers from "bad" snipers?

Here is something I noticed. This guy (s) is operating just like thte VC did in Nam. They used "District Boundries" because they knew they didn't have to worry about RFPF or CIDG in either district. The district gendarmes were afraid they would bump into each other at the boundries, and this provided a clear path for the VC. In fact, theier best time to move around was at noon, when the chopper pilots all went to base for lunch. We used to tap them marching down the trail at high noon like they had no care in the world, holding onto little bushes! (In case a plane came)

In this case the man is seeking refuge in the "Public Thoroughfare". If he tried hitting in communities his "pattern" would get picked up on his way into, or out of his stance. People KNOW what happenes where they live and have their TV sets. But when someone goes out to the Gas Station, or the Store they don't really know the "pattern" there so they do not recognize intruders.

I think a counter sniper team from Bragg could probably have this Dude policed up in a few days, but the regular police would have to leave them alone and back off. (Unlikely)

I know one thing though. If you want to catch a sniper you should put a sniper on his trail. DC Police in squad cars aren't it.

I think so too. And that was what my question was really for. I think we need to let military snipers deal with the shooter(s).

We aren't getting very far now, and the longer this goes on, may give ME guys ideas. We need to nip it asap. imo

Also the longer it goes on, the higher the risk that the area grows.

You could have the equivalent of Identification Friend or Foe, i.e., a password or the like.

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

That's exactly what I was thinking. They need a team of snipers to THINK like this guy; to anticipate where his next hit might be; to be in hiding, just waiting for him.
