Just because he's asking for money doesn't make it not a terrorist.
Terrorists used to ask for, release all the "political prisoners, give back Palastine, and OH YA a million dollars.Here's how this will work:

Squirrel: wGive us a million dollars and we will stop.

Moose: OK, here's the money.
BANG
Moose: you promised you would stop!

Squirrel:We lied. Give us another million and we'll really stop this time.

Moose: OK here it is
BANG........

Additionally, if he works in a job like courier or something simular, then he may not have extensive contact with co-workers for them to notice anything significant.

I think any company in the area that has not accounted for its employees whereabouts during the shootings -- not to mention its trucks -- is borderline criminal.

There are three basic possibilities here: the prep(s) are professional and have financial backing; the perp(s) are unemployed or self-employed; the perp(s) are employed and have done at least a couple of shootings on company time with company vehicles.

I think if the shooter had any ties to the (non-muslim) community, someone would have noticed. I'm thinking that no one will be turned in, because anyone in a position to know or suspect, is an accomplice.

Victim has died

With all due respect, you have said nothing that we haven't all heard a hundred times from the talking heads.

[tomkat]

per fnc, today's victim has died in surgery

[sneakypete]

police can't stop terrorism.

Not without destroying the Bill of Rights,they can't. Which will eventually happen if Bubba-2 is allowed to establish his "Office of Reich Security". There can be no other reason for it to exist.

I wonder if they have tornado sirens in the area.

Unlikely, it isn't exactly tornado alley. Civil Defense sirens, OTOH...

Did you hear this with your own ears?

"The back wall of the BigK-Mart behind the apartments would also echo a shot...#3."

Interesting.

I think I just heard Fox say something about they are now saying that there was in fact only one shot fired, but the information coming out now is still pretty conflicting.

Unfortunately I am not going to be able to monitor this like I have been doing as DW is starting to get crappy about how much time I am spending in front of the computer.

And it all good honesty I have to admit that she is right.

It's Islamist terrorists/Pan Arab related ok. That's a given based on the timing (started right after Fleisher suggested a bullet to the head, right after the taped message urging the Yutes of God to rise up, it's Islamist terrorists).

Your correct that a normal Joe woulda been fingered by now. Islamist underground jihadis are shy, polite, unassuming ASSASSINS. Their neighbors in the Apt complex would never suspect because they are probably also Islamists.

Excellent cites. As you point out, by now AQ has established some patterns of behavior, and revenge attacks or extorting the release of prisoners is one such pattern. If it were simple cash extortion, we would not have a national security level of response to this.

Dear God, lead that dog right to the sniper.

I think he lives in that area, so maybe the dogs can track his scent back to his home. I always wondered why they didn't have teams of bloodhounds just walking the neighborhood around the earliest shootings to see if they picked up anything.

The demand for ransome or money is merely Terry McCauliff over at the DNC pressing his new fundraising techniques. From his perspective, they have all to gain and nothing to lose. "Hey Bubba, I've got a great way to collect huge green in the sprint to the finish in this election cycle." -DNC Terry to his best buddy Bubba.

"Sounds great Terry, we've gotta be creative here. I've got no more missiles to sell, no more coffee's to pour, no more computers to sell to the chinese and north koreans, bein out of the loop has been really wearin me down bud. Thank goodness for this sniper fella. How much did you ask for?"-X42 to Terry

I wonder if they have tornado sirens in the area.

No tornado sirens, but they do have ones for calling volunteer firemen to the station. Those could be used, except that everyone who isn't a fireman ignores them.

These are all possible. Like I said this is just an unqualified opinion. What if he is a self-employed handyman for example.

[twntaipan]

And the way the police always closed bridges back to that area even when other shootings occurred way away in Virginia seems to indicate LEO thinks the same thing.

[Spunky]

What's this about a false wittness at the Home Depot?

Some man told the police he had seen the sniper (dark skinned) and gave a discription of a cream color van and some type of gun other than the one that had been identified.

Eventually because of other witness discriptions they determined it was all a lie.

[CougarGA7]

Sorry, I hadn't heard the news report that LE felt the sniper lived in the Aspen Hill area. That's the only point I was trying to make.
