What I am wondering this morning....

Will there be a shooting today? Did Monday's shooting disrupt the pattern folks think they were following?

Will the drone deployment send these guys underground?

Are the freeway shootings in Long Island and in Columbus truly "copy-cat" shootings, or just less skillful ME terror cells? Some of them are less "talented" than others, perhaps?

What will happen if these shootings stop suddenly? What will be said by the Moose Chief?

And, if by some chance this is really the work of lone "nuts", what will their reaction be to having their handiwork attributed to Al-Q terrorists? Will they be angered or flattered?

So many questions, I know...

Will there be a shooting today?

My guess, yes. Unless they are trying to change vehicles because of the police having partial tag numbers??

Did Monday's shooting disrupt the pattern folks think they were following?

I think not.

Will the drone deployment send these guys underground?

They might see it as a bigger 'challenge'.

Are the freeway shootings in Long Island and in Columbus truly "copy-cat" shootings, or just less skillful ME terror cells? Some of them are less "talented" than others, perhaps?

Or both. Which reminds me. There was a sniper shooting at cars in Idaho, in September. Far as I know, never caught.

With that one being in mid September, was that a prelude of things to come? If so, that might imply that these others may not be copy cats at all.

What will happen if these shootings stop suddenly? What will be said by the Moose Chief?

That they will keep investigating. That would be a bad thing. Because they could pop up again anywhere at any time.

And, if by some chance this is really the work of lone "nuts", what will their reaction be to having their handiwork attributed to Al-Q terrorists? Will they be angered or flattered?

Guess it depends on how much they want their motive known. Don't the lone nutcases usually want their motive known at some point?

My personal opinion-
1) This is the work of ME terrorists. There are training tapes that show it, the attacks are to organized for a lone looney, it is in fact a military type of operation.

2) Shootings in that particular part of the country are over for at least a week, the risk of getting caught is just too high. They may pick up briefly around Christmas shopping season again, once everything has settled down. (Day after Thanksgiving?)

3) Do not be suprised if this pops up in a different part of the country- there have been NO attacks on the west-coast. LA, San Diego and Seattle seem like likely targets to me. Possibly Denver, Omaha, Minneapolis- some place where it would not be expected.
