The shooter who fires a lot of rounds is incurring a huge risk of aprehension-

Like over there in Israel where they are worried about getting caught... they just blow themselves up at the same time. All in name of Allah ya know!

Or maybe its like the shootings in Pakistan Christian churches? No that doesn't fit either. In those cases they fired indiscriminately at will, trying to maim and kill as many as poosible at one time.

In Israel they attack people going to synagogue. Any attacks at churches? Nope, didn't think so. Pakis hit churches, Palis hit synagogues...

No attacks on Saturday or Sunday. Why? The two BIG DAYS for Islamakazis to terrorize Jews and Christians. Yet, there are no shootings on those days.

Just doesn't seem to fit the ME terrorist mind think.

Sorry, but that IS my opinion. If some sort of EVIDENCE comes out to suggest otherwise, then perhaps I'll consider it, BUT NOT UNTIL THEN!

The islamic war types like al Queda see themselves as fighting a prolonged quasi military operation against us. Better if your troops don't take a lot of casualties so they can fight another battle tomorrow.

The goal of this operation is not the immediate damage they inflict when they kill a sniper target (distinguished from the Pakistan Church operation; or the synagogue or church attack--which is done in part to discourage church and synagogue attendance; or the 9/11 attack for that matter which had as its objective inflicting the damage that resulted and for which they were willing to incur 19 casualties); goal here is to interrupt the normal flow of commerce and force you to devote huge amounts of money and manpower to interfering with the attack which goal they have accomplished. Goal is to force you to try and make them stop which they accomplish by continuing to attack you.

Reason I would stop on Saturday and Sunday is that you don't have the usual predictable flow of commerce traffic on Saturday and Sunday and are thus exposed to having some unusual event obstruct your escape route--during rush hour traffic, the goal is to keep the streets open and flowing.

I also think that is why they have chosen most of the target times they have used--they have devoted planning to escape routes and related target locations. We didn't get them on Friday because they stayed off the freeways which we could shut down.
