ceri - yep, but you'd need a big ass scope... the British army SA-80 has got a killing range of 3 mile (apparently)...

a real sniper, military trained will not be caught.
especially if this person is not a maniac.
there is no reason to think this person is a psycho... just lacking morality. you can be intelligent and evil without being insane.

I'm not sure of that, but I do know by most reports he's only shooting from about 100 or 150 yards. The thing I don't understand is if they can use ballistics to determine the type of gun from the bullet, why don't they know (or just won't say?) what kind of gun it is? Seems a little odd to me
Supposedly, and I don't know how true this is, but they think some French sniper was here in the states on leave but nobody has heard from him since he arrived.

Thought so, I ran into a mate who is a BA commando and he pointed out a hotel room (about 1200M away) and said he reckoned he could get someone in the window there...
Zguru: Yes, he probably isn't really insane or he'd of been caught by now...
Why are we all assuming it's a he? Women make very good marksmen...
I know at a claypidgeon shoot I went to the women were much better.

Generally speaking though, how many mass murderers have you ever heard of that were female? It tends to be males more often than not, and if a woman is involved, it's usually with her husband/boyfriend.

They must know what gun it is... at least the calibre of it... but they wont say cos it would give us all something else to speculate about, and there not ready to do that yet... build the hype!

It's the same gun (specific gun-not just mdel...) being used so it's unlikely to be more than one person.
Elastic: Re type of gun.. it'd make it easier for copy cats to cock up the enquiry if they new the specific model...

yeah. it would be just as hillarious to watch every family member of yours, everyone you've ever cared for and loved, being crushed under the weight of a train, grinding their flesh and bones for the mile and a half it takes a train to stop once the brakes are applied.

he keeps acting as if human tradgedy is so very funny just because it's not happening to him. maybe it wouldn't be as funny if he had to experience a little pain first-hand?

Here's my theory:
Seeing as he's in Washington, I think he's taking test shots to get ready for shooting Bush.
He doesn't only shoot people of the same ethnic group, age group, street, family, job, does he?
I think he's trying lots of different angles/positions/distances.
It's sad, yes, but a possibility. As much as I hate Bush that would TOTALLY fuck things up in the world.

I see the death of Bush being a good thing, as long as they get the vice president too. We need someone in office who has an IQ that can't be counted on his hands!

you're an idiot. the death of a president is not a "good thing". it would permanently fuck the US up, and as i live there, i wouldn't want that. i'm a democrat and don't particularly like bush, but statements like that are inexcusable.
