Has anyone ever got a crazy idea that this sniper shit is tied to bin Laden and the Al Queada? Just wondering.

 

[JaGz]

Na... they would have found a towel and a Golden Pantry or BP station name tag instead if a Tarot card.

 

[Rez]

Hard to say....

I know BinLaden's men have be taught to bring terror in any way.

This would do it. I think it smacks of terror because of it's proximity to the capitol. Kind of a statement on "how easy" it is...

But terror is a subjective thing...

i.e.

There is a steakhouse near me (Lone Star) that has has 67 confired case of salmenella in the last few days....

Little things like this are really eye opening. Makes you wonder..

so, the local buzz of course has the "planned" and "intentional" words flaoting around.... makes people afraid to go outside... an imprisoned people is a weak people...

I have no firm opinion on the Sniper... I just think he (they?) are going to be difficult to catch. A trained sniped can wait for a shot a long time. Make sure everything is perfect....

Met a few when I was a Marine... Glad they were on my side...

It's gonna take a lot of luck IMHO to get this one under control...

I don't really think it's tied to al qaeda or bin laden..most serial killers are white males and few are followers of the muslim religion, excluding that ass John WAlker Lindh (whom only got a measley 20 years for betraying his country and aiding a terrorist group, AHH the US JUstice System.!!! :doublefli) But I do think it's appalling andthis f*&^ker needs to be caught and given the chair, or shot(preferably several times) That poor kids insides are all f'ed now, he has a high-powered rifle shell explode in his body, all while just trying to get educated...sometimes i don't even know why people live here, or anywhere for that matter..the world is just so f'ed now!!




i have a question for you though! do you think that the reason the world is so f'ed up now with all the terrorism, killings, robberies, rapes, kidnappings, etc. etc. etc. is becuz of previous things that happened in years before? i am a firm believer of "what goes around comes around"

 

[EpyonXero]

Im not one to get worked up over whats going on in the news but what this guy is doing is really uncool, thats the ultimate in cowardlyness; picking off children from 1500ft away


As far as the bin laden connection I think if I was planning this out Id probably have a sniper in every major city, talk about terror....

 

[Zeos]

I dunno man, All I know is it's gettin' more an more scary. If, as they expect, he is "trained" it's going to be tough to catch him...gonna have to "bait" him and HOPE he makes a mistake. The problem with this is, the "targets" are seemingly random, therefore there's no real way to get him to take the "bait"

 

[rrguy]

I thought about the same thing but the statement that he left on the card that said " Dear Mr. policeman I am God" Just does not sound like a Mulslim fanatic. AI think that the guy or gal should for this!!!!

I have thought it was terrorists... There's just no evidence to support anything.. I do know one thing. It's absolutely terrifying.. This is some truly fucked up shit I'm seeing. And I'm only 21... It's scary to think what else I'll see before I die.

 

[CBR Rider 1]

Just wait till he gets here in NJ. That bastard is gonna be in for more than he/she bargained for. :twoguns Welcome to Plainfield motherf#@ker.

 

[khuram0786]

electric chair?
no way, what this guy deserves is to be beaten daily by whomever whenever....I don't care how 'crazy' or 'disturbed' someone is, but this is just inexcusable...When he/she is caught though, some lawyer is going to lick his/her chops to get a chance to defend this piece of work and claim the insanity defense

While the thought occured to me that it could be 'terrorists', I doubt that they would do it on this scale...it would (GOD FORBID) have to be on a larger scale, as harsh as this sounds

BTW, "Lindh" shouldn't be...well, I'm not touching that one but we should look that the timeline when making a judgment...the day he comes out, I'll be right behind his parents to greet him

 

[tommymac]

This guy is probably doing what the voices tell him to do. Sounds like he is schizophrenic with the god comment. I have seen a few of these people in my psych rotation. Some are entertaining with their stories and delusions, but some are flat out dangerous.

I would love to see this guy out in his lair at about 800 yards to see if I still have an eye. Done it before. Took out a sniper in Panama at about 400 yards (my platoon leader paced it out) while he was popping shots at us. Didn't kill him, but fucked him up good. Caught him right in the collarbone. This was with an M16A2 and open sights. I boloed out of the sniper course but learned more than enough technique and discipline to be the best shot in battalion and make 400 yard shots under fire.


This Maryland sniper does not strike me as anyone who has any real military service time. He may have some training, there are plenty of schools around that will teach you sniping skills (I live about 70 miles from Thunder Ranch, probably the best private sniper school in the world). BUt some how I get this feeling that he has not served in the military.

He is full of himself and wants to create something of himself like
the Zodiac Killer in California. He left a Tarot Card. The Death Card. It may seem pretty ominous to a casual observer but the
Death Card really does not mean death, it means change. I do the Tarot and have for years so I know these things. If he knew the Tarot and wanted to leave a message he would have left the Dark Tower or the Devil.

This is his moment in the spotlight. He is trying to create an image but does not know what he is talking about. Ego and Vanity are going to trip him up.

I posted, in the other thread on this topic, an article that talked about captured al-queda training videos that showed them sniping from the bed of a pick-up....coincidence?? Personally I don't believe there is any such thing as a coincidence.....

The Tarot card thing kinda threw me, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Terrorism is designed to inflict physical damage as well as the mental damage of terror. Now we have completely randomn killings...in and of themselves, a terrafying idea. Now add to this a "sign" which will lead profilers to say "white, male, midleaged...." and you get people not only terrified that they'll be next, but terrified that it could well be the guy next door, or the mailman, or the guy walking his dog, or.... you get the idea....

I'll tell you this much though....when they do make an arrest on this one it'll be interesting to see how the manage to find an inpartial jury. I'll also be interested to see what exactly the evidence they come up with is.....

 

[Casket Crew]

I bet it'll end up being some rent a cop with nothing better to do.

 

[Hawk]

Why I would believe that it has nothing to do with a terrorist is that there is no claim to who has done the shootings. If it were from a terrorist network (whomever it may be) there would be claims from who is doing it and how it would continue.

 

[kyoung]

There is a whole sub culture of "snipers" complete with training websites classes etc. There is enough terror here in the states as it is. The sinper motto is one shot one kill.
I think it's terrorism but not from another country.

 

[Bishop]

this doesnt seem like a middle eastern type terrorist to me. All of the attacks linked to Bin Laden have been against "important" targets, either military, government, or financial centers. The sick fuck doing this is more than likely a 30-50 yr old white male, possibly with some military training(nothing extensive or specialized) He probably subscribes to guns & ammo and believes the government is out to control our minds or some conspiracy bs. If/when they catch him, he'll probably be wearing camo fatigues or have them in his home/car, will have dark hair, probably a mustache & beard. The whole "I am God" shit is just the power he feels by picking & choosing who lives & who dies. This guy is on a power trip, not a "mission for God" as Bin Laden brainwashes his minions to believe. I don't think he'll stop until he is caught, either, because doing this gives him power. :doublefli

You paint with a pretty thick brush there bubba! Lets see... I don't trust my government (don't think they're out to control my mind...just take my rights), I have some tactical training, I subscribe to guns & ammo, I own and wear camo and have a set in my house an in my BOB, I have dark hair....

Now you see it could be me based on "your" educated profile or maybe its Rez, or Castor (not picking on your guys...just 2 names that popped into my head), or anyone on this board....do you see the "terror" side to this whole deal?

BTW...just cause I fit your description doesn't mean I'm a whacko, nor is anybody else who fits it....

OK, so he gives a description, you edit out the parts that don't fit you and then claim he was describing you?

Well we have lost plenty of rights lately so at least we can agree on that.
