D.C. SNIPER TERROR Shootings to spread to other cities? Expert thinks Washington-area killer doing 'market research'

[corkoman]

If the "sniper" is an Islamic terrorist then the peaceful Muslim community had better take care of this issue themselves - otherwise I can envision a mass, involutary exodous in the future.

Good point - if these snipers are found to be "Middle Easterners" and their cousins start up elsewhere, I forsee additional "sniper" incidents here in which "Middle Easterners" are picked off.

If I happen to be part of an ethnic group identified as being terrorist I would do everything I could to stop my cousins from perpetrating violence. But I just dont see this happening with US Muslims. They stay silent at their own peril.

I agree who ever the sniper(s) may be...they will take out as many people they can in the end. Vans are very convenient way to schlep around explosives...

"If the "sniper" is an Islamic terrorist then the peaceful Muslim community had better take care of this issue themselves - otherwise I can envision a mass, involutary exodous in the future."

I think that is what LE is afraid of. I think they have known for some time that this is foreign terrorism but are more afraid of the public backlash if that is disclosed.

I also find it very strange that a local sheriff is the point man for an investigation that clearly should come under the jurisdiction of the Federal government. Could it be that they are desperately trying to present the image that the Feds are not as concerned about this as they really are?

"Trying to close in on these sniping terrorists in a traffic jam after a shooting... IS THE WRONG ANSWER, IMHO!"

I don't know if it is a mistake but, I do think they will begin to attack those trapped in the traffic jams with guns and explosives. The sniper attack will be the set-up for the larger attack on the traffic jams. Prepare now. I will be armed as well as the terrorists at all times, just hope that you get stuck in traffic near me, hee, hee.

"Guess what! there's very little trouble at any time. "

Gee, what a surprise!

[Kerberos]

"I agree... whether it's a terrorist cell or local whack-jobs, it has shown the inability of the police to protect the masses."

No kidding and isn't it amazing how the liberals can take this to show why we need more restrictive gun laws. These people are going to get us killed.

I don't think that is the reason. It's plain old CYA. They know this is a lose/lose proposition and it will be Moose's career that ends. He's just the scapegoat.

[Kerberos]

"He's just the scapegoat."

Correct

[Crowcreek]

" he says martial law in some cities or states is a real possibility if attacks get out of hand"

Then the 'alleged lawbreakers' will not risk suffering from profiling, excessive force, or other civil-liberty indignities.

The one way to put a stop to it is to round up all middle eastern males between 15 and 50, and deport them back to Mohammed-land. When it gets to the point where American casualties become unbearable here on our soil, the American people will DEMAND this! I will be one of the first. To Hades with liberal PC diversity! Islam is satanic and must be eradicated from our land.

This article appeared in the Village Voice, of all places, this past June. Note the third and fourth paragraphs.

If these are terrorists, they probably won't set up shop in places like say Wyoming, Montana,Idaho, and of course Alaska.

Unlike the firearm restricted areas around D.C. If this fellow were to be spotted taking a shot in any of the named states, it is likely instead of the witness reaching for the cell phone to call 911, they would instead reach for that .357 in the glove box.

Get ready, huh?

"One scenario involves ambushing cops. An apparently disabled vehicle is parked just before a freeway ramp, with shooters hidden inside. When the police officer pulls up, someone inside blows the horn and the shooters burst out firing. Then there's the residential assassination, where someone knocks on the door of a home, then empties his gun into whoever answers. There's also the golf-course assassination, where an RPG-type rocket is lobbed onto a golf green, taking out the security vehicle and leaving the golfers to be mowed down by rifle fire."

Prepare now!

[cynicom]

Of course, with that viewpoint, the government will not listen to the gentleman. They do not want to hear it.

We citizens are the armed militia, as designated by law and affirmed by our Constitution.

As such, in addition to powered up cell phones, and camera, perhaps a spotting scope of some kind, and severe injury first-aid kit, at hand in cars and offices, we must have a handgun, shotgun, and rifle with adequate amounts and types of ammunition, hunting and FMJ. If the Beltway shooter(s) are activated jihadamnites, we have a fight to the death on our hands. They will be prepared for extended firefights and we should count on them having explosives, grenades at least.

Our cops are at risk as targets and are less than 1/2 of 0.001% of a given population. We must recognize that our very families are targets of this type of killer, our men, our women, and our children. We outnumber our cops more than 2,000:1. It is time to act like it.

We must not cower seeking cover begging for protection, but ride to the sound of the guns. A high speed intercept with our own cars into the perps' getaway vehicle(s) will be messy, but effective intercepts. Seconds and force count rather than minutes and police reports.

We must protect our legislated gun-free kill zones - schools, hospitals, churches. The police will be assigned in strength to government fascilities, owing no responsibility to protect individuals.

Our mortal enemies are at war with us. We must engage the enemy and annihilate them where they lurk amid our daily lives. This war is here to stay.

"He also said they are well-positioned to predict how American leaders will react to certain threats."

Yeah, and this is why they are always ultimately wrong. The American PEOPLE won't react like the current crop of American "leaders", as the Japanese found out to their ultimate regret. It takes a LOT of provocation to get a sufficienty large number of the American populace sufficiently outraged to commit to all-out war, but once it happens, all hell is out for noon.

[freeperfromnj]

The type of operations described in that article are chilling. It makes you wonder how many of them there are to be able to pull something like this off.
