Rupinder Oberoi certainly does not sound like a Moslem name. Anybody have any idea of the ethnicity?
To: knak
What do the ballistics say? Do they have ballistics? If this shooting is explored by the media, the police will eventually have to answer whether it is related or not. I believe this to be the 1st shooting in the spree. It seems the victim is convinced.

I believe it's an Indian surname.

That would make two non-muslim Indian victims. Wonder about the odds???

I saw this guy on TV. That story indicated there is not enough of the bullet to determine if it is rom the DC shooter's rifle.

Sounds like there have been MORE sniper attacks then we've been told about! Imagine that. I wonder just how many victims there really have been. I second thought, I don't really want to know...
I'm sure it's not terrorism. Why would a terrorist want to go around shooting innocent people with absolutely nothing in common, other than they were easy targets? I'm sure a terrorist sniper would never do anything like that...

I think you're right, could be Indonesian, too. Whatever his ethnicity, Mr Oberoi didn't seem to have a problem working for a jewish business owner.

Indian victim and Jewish store owners...
Can't link it to the others cause it might just point to hard toward the Religeon of PeaceTM...
To: knak
Hindu's are about as hated by muslims as jews are. I find it odd that nazi's hate the same people the Islamists hate. Figures.

The Nazis and the Islamists have been hand in hand ever since early in WWII. Mein Kampf is still one of the most read books in the Palis areas, and Hitler is a hero to them as well. Go figure, eh?

Not enough of a bullet to do ballistics or determine caliber? Well, there is much circumstantial evidence anyway, I don't think they had ballistics on all the other shootings either, but they have a reason for linking all of them. It still begs the question, Why haven't they linked this one? It just doesn't seem like any other motive, like robbery is at play here.

Interesting that this seems to have coincided with the start of the Yom Kippur holiday, the Day of Atonement. Of course that may have nothing to do with anything.
To: 11B3
I remember during the Gulf War reading about Saddam, or maybe it was his father, probably his father, either collaborated with the Nazi's or participated in training excersizes. Muh memry is failin' me.

Then why not pick a few people off leaving Synogogues and Hindu temples?
Hasn't been a single Jew shot yet.
And you can't really visually tell a Muslim Indian or Pakistani from a Hindu Indian at long range (unless the Indian is Dravidian instead of North Indian.) Most Indians are Hindus, though, including in the DC area.

There is a picture of this guy on BBC
here. Not that I really think it matters. The idea of killing Muslims did really inhibit 9/11 that much.
I WOULD think that the police should be more interested in the first case, since it's much more likely that the shooter could start with someone he knew, get a kick out of it, and then branch out.
To: self_evident
AQ would have no qualms about shooting what they may have thought was a Muslim working in a LIQUOR STORE.
Remember, they hate westernized Muslims as much as they hate Jews.

Obviously it is one of the dreaded young white male psycho serial killer types. Has Norman Bates gotten too old and tired to use a knife and switched to rifles?
