Most of these profilers are pretty pathetic.

The profilers make Jonathan Edwards seem credible.

Good on ya mate...
They have an expended cartridge near the scene of the tarot card at the school where the boy was shot
They have bullet fragments
They dont have a match on the bullet fragments with the expended cartridge
They arent even sure what exact caliber the bullet fragments are
They do know the expended cartridge is 223- but they dont know what weapon it was fired from
They now have another expended cartridge & it could have been fired from the same weapon as the other cartridge , but they dont know what kind of weapon that one was fired from
Both cartridges could have been taken from a firing range where many people shoot and just leave their expended cartridges because they are inexpensive and these people dont bother to reload them ..it isnt cost effective...These could very well have an innocents persons prints on them
The press has to fill the air 24/7 and compete with the other press at delivering an audiance to the advertiser (which is what Mr Silverman once said is the medias only moral responsibility the schmucks get to watch the programming for free anyway)...
In order to garner their market share get ratings and keep their jobs or better yet get to work in the big house...inside...they have to come up with an angle a hook ...
What the hell a lie is just as good as the truth even better if it gets you want you want...
Hey I guess thats why they are called media whores and not good samaritans
To: Pokey78
Well, I think I could be a pretty good profiler myself. Let's see...yep, I've come to the conclusion that Islamic terrorists had nothing to do with the WTC atrocity - after all, running airplanes into buildings isn't "their style," and they've never done that before. No, we should be looking for the guilty parties among groups known to have flown airplanes into buildings before.
My conclusion is that the WTC attack was done by a lost civilian pilot or the U.S. Air Force.
What do you mean "don't give up the day job, Bill?"
To: Pokey78
When you assess the "cable heads" babble and opine, it helps to remember that there may be agendas at work. They aren't necessarily any more honest than the Moose ilk. When they aren't tring to tell us how to "be safe", they can be taken as a divertissement. Low cost, and probably worth it.

Great article! Thanks for posting this one.
To: Pokey78
On the radio phone-in shows, the talk is all of bullets and angles and which semi-automatic is chambered for which calibre.Sounds like some threads on FR. ;o)
With all due respect to my fellow Freepers who really, truly, know their stuff.
To: Pokey78
Likewise, the fact that he hasn't killed since Monday may be due to those aerial surveillance "drones" the Pentagon's loaned the local cops. Or because having killed nine people in 11 days - 9/11, geddit? Hmmm? .....
To: Pokey78
Ping for a rational thinker! Love the image, I hope Steyn lurks here sometimes.

Did the van have a prominent mole on its passenger-side door? A cleft windscreen? Did do they do a computer projection of what the Astro would be like if it grew a beard? ROTFLMAO... 
Steyn RULES!

Steyn nails it.
The American media and the LEO's in the area, in a nutshell.

'I've just never seen a serial killer whose motivation seems to be to create terror in the community rather than to see his individual victims suffer,' said James Alan Fox, a professor of criminal justice at Northeastern University in Boston who has written books on serial killers." The reason Prof Fox has never seen a serial killer do that is because that's not what serial killers do; it's what terrorists do.
