St. Michael is the patron saint of policeman and soldiers, he is invoked against "the powers of evil" by Catholics, and he is also a figure in Islam.

Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Something I noticed while praying tonight was that the shootings have occured in Virginia and Maryland, and as other posters have noted, near Michael's stores.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.

Amen.

In our military rifles we use the green tip round, made to pierce body armor. Problem is most Islamic terrorists don't have body armor, so the round over-penetrates

It would seem that mixing bullet types in single magazine might be usefull. With the rifle on "burst" setting, you'd get say one green tip and two regular FMJ types, or vice versa.

"He could have been in a different parking lot, or possibly he opted to meander from the scene figuring
that authorities would be looking for someone leaving in a hurry."

Or he could be parking or being dropped off away from the site and walking in and back out. Or even using a bike or motorcyle.

Who is this moron on FNC?

Do you mean Ted Williams, former cop, older black gentleman? His enuniciation could use some work, but he seems to be a thoughtful, intelligent dude.

"tell us more....I have been trying to keep up with all the posts over the last weeks but I have no idea what you are talking about"

I will try to sum it up shortly.

After the lead of the tarot card came out I was searching on Google (GREAT for keywords) and found a story called "sniperstory". This story was posted in late Aug. and spoke of snipers and death tarot cards. It seemed to also talk about snipers trying to snipe eachother but did not get to read the full story in it's whole context. It was a fictional story. On the same web site this story was posted was a database of players where only two of the characters names in the story came up as nicknames for two guys. I cannot tell you these two names. Both gentleman were on a team of just them two and both lived in Hamilton/Newport News area. I did a search on the guys name in Hamilton and found an address but had a woman's first name. I just searched for his first and last name in VA and found that name living in Fairfax, VA (just discovered this morning). One of the guys has been playing military style sniper shooting for over 16 years in games and competitions (fit profile?). His partner over 4 years. Both own couple thousands of dollars in realistic paintball guns so must own real ones. Both have been playing a game where they use sniper rifles to kill people. Both have experience through years of this extreme paintball. Everyone seems to want to discount this because they think it's a kids game but they couldn't be more wrong. I don't think this type of paintball is bad but considering the story and connections I have found, It would be a good lead. Especially now!

I only speculated that the perp would go to a north spot like the D.C. belt   because of his tenth "middle dot" shot and his 11th South dot shot.

123

456

789

10 11 12

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Now I think the guy in Fairfax is somehow related (perhaps Hampton is moms address where he once lived) to Hampton and his partner in Newport News. Now this could totally screw up an innocent persons personal life so please don't try to do any more research on their names or other things because I have already notified the tip line, Hampton Police and just recently, due to the new shooting, Fairfax Police.

Well, the LEAs could always jump to the encrypted tactical nets... but that would be too simple, wouldn't it?

Or just use ordinary digital cell phones.

I wouldn't be surprised if what is going out over the scanner is disinformation...

Good point.

Alexandria is actually in Arlington County. But yeah, Arlington definitely has its own police force. Kingstowne, which is sometimes considered a part of Alexandria, is in Fairfax County. Tell your folks to stay safe. It's nerve-wracking, I know. I'm sorry. : (

It does seem too sophisticated to be the work of one lone nut.

If they pull this vehicle over somewhere, the first thing on the agenda is probably; not to call the media.

I keep forgetting about those... but I guess it's natural, since I refuse to have a cell phone ;0)

He was on the cell phone with his wife. He didn't live anywhere near the Exxon station. He was from further north. He told his wife he was on his way home (after a business trip) she started to tell him to "be careful" but stopped short. She wasn't with him. No.
