In all honesty, does this news surprise us?

I'm on the edge of my seat, waiting to see how this story ends. It would be very interesting if the sharp shooter ended up being Middle Eastern. Although, there was that whole thing with the bullet shell next to a tarot card that read "I am God" or something. That would be a strange symbol for a radical Muslim to use. However if the guy turned out to be Hispanic, that would be the third "weird" nationally publicized attack by a "deranged" Hispanic.... following on the tail of the Hispanic men (one in California and one in Ohio, I think it was) who tried to slit the throats of Greyhound bus drivers. Of course, I also keep hearing that Muslim extremists are easily getting across the borders from Mexico. And I came across an angry Latino website that was heavily pro-Muslim/pro-Palestinian. It's Aztlan.net if you want to read some really trippy propaganda

At this point I'm playing devil's advocate more than anything but here goes -

* People sometimes see what they want to see. If these witnesses were already convinced this was Islamofacist terrorism, they might have tricked themselves into seeing dark-skinned people.

* Could be tricks of the light.

* Dark skinned could be anything from anglos with dark tans, to mediteranean types like me, to light skinned blacks, to hispanics, to even Asians.

But you know what? As someone who has probably given himself carpel tunnel syndrome arguing that this is likely eco- or anarcho-terrorism, I'm really starting to think its the al Quada types along with just about everyone else on this forum.

Ya think that liberal attorneys and MCDERMUTT et al will say this is all manufactured info. And of course Katie Couric will be wondering how do we know that a Middle Eastern guy (or guys) aren't really recruits into a white supremacist group of ex military bigots for bush?

You know how it goes.

Note that the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, etc.---the usual oh-so-PC crowd---have not mentioned the dark-skinned angle at all. The Times, in fact, today describes several speculative profiles of the shooter(s), none of which involve anyone other than an American white male.

It's too bad the five witnesses weren't familiar enough with fire arms and confident enough in our legal system to shoot the tires. I would recommend using a bow and arrows on the tires, but that apparently is being banned too.

I have been of the white psycho opinion the majority of the time, with occasional terrorist motive conjecture. With the eyewitnesses, I would flip to the middle eastern jihadist opinion were it not for the tarot card. I just don't see how that fits with the Al Queda types.

Does anyone know how to spell makeup? If the sniper(s) are as savvy as some would lead us to believe, would not makeup be one of the most obvious ruse?

"* Could be tricks of the light. "

They must have very good lights in Fredricksburg. To see the shade of their skin in a dark parking lot would be next to impossible. This is only my opinion.

My attempted sarcasm directed at the FBI in a reply to Scalia Rules last night on another thread:

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said another witness gave a description of a dark-skinned, possibly Hispanic or Middle Eastern, man in a white van.

The FBI now has all agents questioning clerks at drug stores and other businesses which sell cosmetics to find the 20-40 year angry old white male in camouflage fatigues who bought a large quantity of tanning gel and black hair dye.

I would think that traditional makeup and a wig would be more likely since these disguises could be easily and rapidly discarded to avoid detection. Snipers have been known to apply charcoal or the like to avoid detection.

A "race" doesn't believe in anything.
If you mean "eliminate any race who has members who are
muslim" you'll have to target all 3 races including yours.
