All these criminologists/profilers/forensics experts that are crawling all over each other to get on TV and basically are spewing out 150 different versions of gobbledegook ... where did they all come from and what do they do when they're not trying to get air time? I didn't know there were so many of those folks.

Well, we can thank the cable news channels for this. In a desperate attempt to keep this going for ratings, they will pull out anyone than can place an "expert" label on to talk nonsense 24/7. It is getting tiresome.

All these criminologists/profilers/forensics experts that are crawling all over each other to get on TV I think they are doing more harm than good. Did you by chance hear Bo Dietl last night? He practically challenged the sniper and directed his comments straight to him. Called him a coward, said "you're real brave shooting women and children in the back". I thought that was inaappropriate since we know the shooter has been responding to media coverage.

..Don't you wonder if the play by plays of the shootings were not on the airwaves 24/7 (slight exaggeration) ...he might not be doing this?
The more the "Feed" the more the "Need" to kill again!! He's a star now bringing the DC area to it's knees and the media is in a Love/Hate relationship with this person(s).
Lives mean nothing to him , the FEAR he has instilled is the POWER trip and ATTENTION he gets off on...The Media, the Authorities, and team of guasi Professionals with their tough Clint Eastwood "come and get a piece of me" dialog is the "agent provocateur" inciting the Inferno of Fear which this person thrives on.
Whether terrorist(s) or home grown WACKO...CUT the cameras!.. and go to basic news coverage(remember those days? .. 8,12,6,10 o'clock) sparing the families of the victims. But of course,the MEDIA can't do that.They don't think along the terms of what is morally right and morally questionable (bordering on wrong!) when covering their stories. Let Moose find another way to "chat" with the people's Enemy.
This Media route to "open conversation" from a note whether chosen by the sniper(s) or the authorities just adds more to his CELEB Coverage!! Just another decoy like the White Vans/panel trucks/ladder trucks/Taro card. Just my opinion.
