I don't think this is foreign terrorism. Its too much in one spot. I think this is a homegrown nut playing on the idea that we are frightened of terrorism. Three of the shootings were in areas with roads that go towards Spotsylvania. I wouldn't be surprised if this person lives in Spotsylvfania or real close and has a family (which could explain not shooting on the weekends.) He uses his company truck for the shootings while he is out on the road and easily escapes back to his job.

Bah, in any case this Pat Brown is terrible. She is being honest and accurate when she says that white men are unfairly categorized as being the only ones capable of serial killing. However, she made the statement that this guy is targetting minorities when they are available, but then takes whatever is there, if they are not.
That seems like a bit of a stupid idea. So when the pattern doesn't exist, we simply attribute it to him taking targets of opportunity, but when he does hit a "minority" it's part of a pattern. WHAT?!?! Talk about selecting and ignoring evidence.
The greater DC Metro area is VERY racially mixed. I don't see him as selecting minorities at all. If he wanted to kill all non-white, he(and his accomplice) would have no problem doing so.

"He uses the company truck while out on the road..then easily escapes back to his job"Exactly. No weekend shootings, a good time for everyone to "gas up", in my opinion.
But supposes he changes and decides not to use the company van any longer? It's all over the news now, what the cops are looking for.
So he will switch vehicles and this time, be sure no one is around to identify his car, which probably is distinguishable from the majority of the cars on the road.
He may even break the pattern, because has to break the pattern or he will get caught.
