Possible shooting again in Virginia?

[TheWart]

well, this guy is sure digging a deeeeep grave for himself...cant see any pity (less that Walker Lindh IMO) for this guy at his trial...it is just a matter of time before he is caught, just hope it is sooner than later.

This whole white van with a ladder rack is ridiculous. You can go out to any busy street anywhere in America, and chances are you'll be able to spot a white van with a ladder rack somewhere in viewing distance. Maybe this guy is only shooting when he himself sees a white van around so they will see the white van as the common denominator, and he is driving away in his red Taurus wagon.

What does this guy hope to accomplish? He has already killed so many and the police are on his trail. Why not disappear for a week, two weeks, three weeks etc etc? Why not strike later at night, not from the truck but using a different car as a getaway vehicle? Would confuse the hell out of the police.

You know, that isn't a bad idea...

Thankfully most criminals are stupid, if they were that smart they would be nearly impossible to catch. :|

That's exactly the point that I was going to state. It's very easy to wait for a white van to be driving by, then pull the trigger. Since the news stations have "brainwashed" people into thinking it's a white van - that's all they look for when the shootings happen.

i doubt this guy isn't stupid. either it's somekind of decoy, or he just wants to push his luck and enjoys it.

 

[Miramonti]

Whoever this guy is he's no fool, its too easy to get caught. He seems to know the DC area pretty well too. When they catch up to him tho I doubt they will be taking him in alive tho.

 

[Linflas]

Odd thing is I live in the area and we heard about it from my mother in law who lives in Montreal. None of the local stations were breaking into prime time to cover it so we ended up tuning in Fox News and they were all over it.

It's pretty hard to commit suicide with the length of a sniper's weapon, isn't it? I really don't know the details of the type of weapons that can hold a .223, so I'm just assuming it's relatively difficult to pull the trigger on himself.

A Contender is a pistol, could work. You could do it with a rifle, Kurt Cobain did it with a shotgun.

That is debatable.

 

[spanky]

[AzNmAnJLH]

I really hope they catch the person(s) involved.

Some models of AR-15s, have a collapsable stock. If the shooter has such a "stubby" device, then suicide would be quite easy and he/she wouldn't need to extened their arms too far to do it.

It's very possible to shoot yourself with a long gun!

NEVER point a gun into a pipe that bends around a long radius only to end pointed back in your direction! Yeah, dumb I know; it's amazing the stupid things you do when you're young. Thank goodness it was only a .22! :Q

Cheers!

 

[deftron]

.. or he could have a pistol on him, too

 

[Grasshopper27]

It should be pointed out that this guy is shooting 60 year old men in the back. If that isn't what you'd call a coward, I cannot think of what you would.

This person is slime, we need to find him and stop him.
