I was wondering why people dont just start tailing white astro vans with ladder racks? Why the witnesses of the last shooting didn't run to their car, if they weren't already in it, and follow the "bad guys"? I just think it has to have something to do with the crazy idea that "the police are going to protect you" mentality that has been forced on everyone. Especially in such a liberal area. Think about it. Would this/these killer(s) be this successful in say Texas, or Kentucky? I highly doubt it. Someone would see them running away and either run over them with their truck or pop them with their 30-06. I just think that it is crazy "the people" have not done more to GET this guy, not just hide from him. Different mentality I quess.

Rivothead,

Be carful who you call an idiot. You can make 100+ yard shots all day long with this handgun, and it comes in .223 straight from the factory.

Now I'm not saying that they are using a Contender, just that it is a possibility.

I agree with the more than one person theory.

I also suspect that the firearm being used is not an AR-15, or even a semi-auto. My reason for this is that the police have a pretty good idea what TYPE (more info than just it is a .223) it is from the shell casing as well as the bullet markings. You can tell that kind of thing, or at least eliminate certain possibilities, by the dimensions of the grooves, twist rates, etc. They could match it up to "ruger" or "colt" or aftermarket this and that. They could see if it is a semi-automatic or not by the extractor marks on the casing. The dimentions of the casing after it has expanded.
These cops on the east coast HATE assult rifles. Did you see them lay them all out on the table for the cameras after like the first shooting? They KNOW that it is not a semi-automatic rifle, because if it was, they could not RESIST the chance to tell everyone that it IS a semi-automatic this, or an assult rifle that. Their silence tells me it is a bolt action long rifle, or a single shot handgun, such as the Contender.
But that is just my theory. I have been wrong before.

"The number of wild dogs on the loose also has increased due to a rise in recreational hunting in the forests. Hunters use breeds such as rottweilers and Rhodesian ridgebacks to go after wild pigs, and some of the dogs escape and interbreed with dingoes." Im sorry but this bit about hunting dogs is total BS. Dogs trained to hunt with are one of the last types of dogs to run away. They had to get that hunting slam in there though didnt they. Its a bogus attempt to cut off the "hunt the wild dogs" logic of helping to control the problem, before someone suggest it. Boy, I can even see through that one.
