Hey Sir,

No Smřrebrřt for Breakfast! dont say something like this ever again!

Nice work FBI! Now you can start all over again.Wrong information. cream coloured truck is invention of a birdbrain wannabe wittness

ah well, should I get back to the "weapon laws" discussion or.....mmmh...I think I better leave this out of this thread.

Well it does not matter now that the AK74 has been thrown out.  But if you can get a head shot at 100-300m with your first shot then you've got to be well trained.  Funny how the shootings have stopped, eh?

If you think that hitting something at 100 m is an achievement then I would give you the advice to try to pursuade the military you are in to replace their slingshots with firearms <span id='postcolor'>

Like the war of 1812, when the U.S. invaded Canada, and we beat you back and burned down the White house in 1814?

Actually the 'White House' was originally stone coloured. They painted it white after the fire to cover up all the smoke damage. You can still see fire damage in the building to this day.

History is cool.

Well, technically it was the British who kicked our butts but your core point stands, history is cool. And if you will remember, we were sufficiently cowed after that that not only did we not get into any wars for 30 years or so, in the next one went after Mexico

Not with a 10X scope and something to prop your rifle against.

Now because of all these shootings, they're pushing back the movie Phone Booth because it's "too real".

The movie stars Irish actor Colin Farrell as a man who answers a ringing telephone in a phone booth only to learn he is in the gun sights of a sniper, played by Kiefer Sutherland of television's "24," who threatens to shoot if he hangs up.

Story here

BASTARDS!! now he's making me miss out on crappy hollywood movies! What kind of sick world we live in.

Maybe we should lessen the charges against him if he can keep dumb movies for being released for another few months.

A police officer searches the top of a van near the Home Depot store in Falls Church, Virginia.

Bwahahahaaah, keep up the good work guys

got it from this page: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/17/sniper.shootings/index.html

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

absolutely, maybe in the end we find out that this has been a Marketing gag for a new film. Okay, people died, but still we would have to let that man go, he is only a Marketing Manager with an exquisite taste for promotional-campaigns.

BTW: do you remember that he left some kind of card (after 2nd killing) with the message: "I am god!" on it. Now the FBI assumes that he is refering to the "god" mode of PC-games where someone cant get hit. I think that is nonesense..anyhow..there was a second message on that card which the FBI does not publish. I bet this dude is an underpaid CIA special agent with a persecution-mania fighting for the rights of the Weapon-lobby! or maybe the beserk Afghanistan veteran who went home and freaked:

Or maybe this guy even hang around in our forum. You know the sort of people that ask: "do you know any Sites on Sniper and Sniper gears" and "I got 220 points in AmericasArmy and I am 13, how can I start my career?"

I know you're joking, but what the hell:

Left-Wing (Re: Commie) Propaganda.

Shooting everyday civilians with an average rifle that just about anyone can buy would work against the gun lobby, this is exactly what has happend so far.

I think I saw 'The Sniper', is that the one where the guy climbs on top of an oil storage tank and starts shooting people on the highway? And then does it later from behind a drive-in movie screen?

No No No My friend you havent understood the argument:

Look, now that a mad man is runing around with the a rifle more and more people claim their right of self defense.

Besides joining the...

...they will run into the first store and get a quick and easy to handle UZI. If the FBI cant help you then help yourself! That is the slogan! It is like with the WTC, the american lobby organised those events to justify their future actions. Nuke down Iraq and arm every american with an UZI,

As a german I would probably train my dog to chase people that smell like gun powder (in the US probably every person older than 12) or lie flat on the ground. I would tell my shepherd: "REX FASS!" and turn the sniper into hungarian gulash!  

Just kiddin. I am just a commie having his fun

Exactly, and I think we are talking 40 - 150m. This is no sniper, or at least doesn't seem to be.

One thing some of you should think about: Do you think a kid, or someone playing out their gaming fantasies would be ably to stay so focused for nearly 3 weeks?

Some "experts" are saying that these are probably two kid gamers trying to build a body count (playing a game)... so what? which game were they playing that let's them be so calculated and controlled while killing? Certainly no game that actually exists.

Sure they will.  

If fully automatic weapons weren't already illegal, or very hard to get.

Albert gets the reward money.

Hmm, for 1/2 mil US it may be worth hunting this guy...

[Sam Samson 0]

I'm amazed that none of the usual suspects has yet aired the suspicion that george bush is the sniper...

after all, he lives in a house in downtown washington.

what's the matter with you guys? not up to form?

[ralphwiggum 6]

hey hey! stay on topic!

no he is too dumb to do that.

anyways, on serious note, it's been 3 days since he last murdered someone, so i'm guessing he is laying low right now. maybe cops are getting close too and he is feeling the heat.

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Now you are realy getting unrealistice there Sir!

Everyone knows that bush already has serious eye problems, needs huge and thick glasses and wouldnt hit an ant with an apple

[rocketjager 0]

In response to the whole war of 1812 post, i seem to recall, oh what was that battle...hmm....Oh yes New Orleans in 1815, 3,000 Brits killed to less than 20 U.S casualtys? yeah, and the war had been over for 2 weeks,,,

[ralphwiggum 6]

Possible new clue?

a rental car that matches description that had a casing is found while cleaning.

Oh please, no more police dog TV show "Rex"!

It must be one of the most pathetic TV series ever.

Just kidding!

I recently watched a newsprograme about the sniper communities in US. Kind of scary about military/sniping romanticizing organisations. No one can know for sure what kind of person they are dealing with, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a man deeply affected by some twisted ideas of being a social outcast. I believe a person denied access to ordinary social life - stamped as a weirdo - would very much be capabel of doing such horrific actions.

Hope they get him soon!

Hey, I told you it was 9/11. 9 dead and 11 shot. The shootings have stopped haven't they?

We don't know the distences that he's firing from, they always say that the didn't see anyone.  And I think that the gamer theory is a bit crazy, that's more like the media trying to improve their ratings by making american housewifes panic.

And if you add 9 and 11 you get 20.  Which is tomorrow.  And that will be his 12th victim.  10 and 2 are 12.  10 times 2 is 20. Tomorrow is the 20th! Watch out!!!!

it's a coincidence. 13 yr old boy was saved by medical treatment.
