Your "words matter" post brought out some interesting points, particularly #3:

3) I would like to add that perhaps thought should be given to the majority of the shootings happening around "oil" supplies...gas...hmm...now let's see, who has the oil, and who buys the oil.

There might be something to this..oil supplies, etc. However, it touched off something else when I read it: If by chance the sniper missed, and the bullet hit a gas pump - would it go KA-BOOM!??? or does that only happen in the movies? Also, unlike the most recent shootings, the first victims were doing other things (mowing the lawn, etc). Seems like the sniper discovered by chance the ease in picking out victims at the gas pumps.

Every day inside the beltway, people are murdered. In fact, I looked it up and the murder rate inside the beltway is about 50 per 100,000 and works out to over 250 a year.

Is someone trying to show the elites that live "outside" the beltway what it is like to live in terror "inside" the beltway?

Yes, I think that the only significance in the fact that some of the shootings occurred at gas stations is that the targets are so easy there.
