Grasping at straws, but then we don't have a lot to go on. Who knows?

Do you have the scanner on? I'm sorry, no I don't. That portion of my reply was the original posting.

Lynchburg is way southwest of Richmond... It's several hours drive. Never said it was nearby, just that it was south. It is about 100+ miles from Richmond. Anyway, my comment was to point out that it was not in the DC area, not to imply that it was near the shooting.

Hopefully mass "we are actually in a war" thinking could kick in at that point and put an end to the dreamworld most are living in right nowYou've got that right. Most of America is oblivious to the impending danger -- go figure.

I think the sniper hit tonight BECAUSE of the news conference at noon today. He wants to be in the news everyday.

UGH. FOX has Major Garrett reporting live from the interstates, having just passed his second road block.
To: ChadGore
They're gonna shoot their neibors cat and yell "HA! Gotchya, ya stinkin' sniper!"LOL!! Yeah, all I gotta say is that sniper had better not come down here to south Texas where I am and start shoting people from 200yrds away if he knows whats good for him, because if he does he'll..... well we'll...... ummm...... I dunno, but he just better not. We don't play around!
Don't Mess With Texas!!
There, that'll stop him. LOL!!:)

Well maybe it's one of them quasar-terrorist situations, now that we're pacifically cognizant of these barious types of things. I have to admit....my lemon sorbet just oozed onto my keyboard, reading that.

An unidentified man lies handcuffed on the ground next to his white van at a gas station in Stafford, Virginia, October 19, 2002. Law enforcement are stopping and handcuffing all drivers in white vans that fit a description in the current Washington area sniper attacks. Police reported Saturday that a person was shot and wounded in Ashland, Virginia, located 90 miles (145 km) south of the U.S. capital, but authorities said they did not know whether the incident was linked to the recent sniper shootings in the Washington area.

To: OXENinFLA
2 witnesses - one in gas station across the street and one was just walking into the Ponderosa. Neither saw the shooting.

The more stuff that comes out about the psychological profile of the sniper, the less I think it is the work of a terrorist.There is no official psychologoical profile of the sniper. Moose wanted one on day two (from a ouija board, I guess), and the FBI (correctly) refused to indulge him, thus saving him considerable embarrassment.
The "profiles" you are hearing on TV are for the most part idiot ravings of people who know even less than LE, but have to justify their existence as "experts."
We do however, have three profiles of white vehicles...
