I think you would lose that bet--the diesel powered Isuzu is the tool of choice in that market at the moment--they are everywhere. And maybe this particular truck is not the truck at all, maybe they used a Ford or Chev.
Maybe you are right about the sign although maybe you are really wrong--they gave enough thought to what the sign should say that the witnesses who remember the letters can't remember the words.
The shooter is not a coward and does not "run from hits"--he is a stratigic planner--part of his mission is to complete a large number of hits and so he has planned to conceal the hits from witness so that they can't give authorities enough data to apprehend the attacker.
However in this kind of operation, you might plan for a possible counterattack that interrupts your withdrawal--the larger truck permits you to carry around enough firepower to deal with any initial counterattack that local police authorities could mount.
Reason you don't use an RPG for the initial hit is the same reason you used the truck in the first place--the hit would be immediately detected so you don't do that. The objective is not to make a statement; the objective is to eliminate targets.
I think that the very first shot--through the Michael's window--was aimed at someone outside and was a miss.
If this is a terror team like it looks there's may be even 4 or 5 members using two vehicles.
I think they've stayed out of the Maryland area southeast of the District of Corruption since it is a peninsula and they might get bottled up there.
The murderer is firing single shots but is doing so with a semi-auto because they might end up in a shootout with the law.
The shots are pre-dominantly fired from a vehicle which maybe has a hidden compartment for the rifle if they intend to try to BS their way through a roadblock.
Possibly they are basing out of DC. In any event, traffic congestion there and multiple surveillance cameras would render it unattractive.
I wonder how fast the traffic lights in the region could all be turned red at the same time--or if it's even actually possible.
The News Cartel may have another reason for refusing to even mention the "T" word--it would provide an upsurge of public support for the plan to go to war in Iraq. I feel that they desperately want this to be a home grown crime series. Rockpile
