"The Washington Sniper"

Have I missed something? What, is this man just casually moving from place to place picking off random people?
Why?

They might not be arab BUT they are muslims and one of them is jamaican. They rigged the boot of their car to fire from a small hole. bloody brilliant idea I say... very smart indeed.

Depends on whether you think a demand for $10 million dollars is religous?

I bet a criminal psycologist would have something to say about this. Has anyone put any motive forward for the shootings? Was it a 'religous' motive?

It wasn't, but that's an easy mistake to make - he took an Arab-sounding name after converting to Islam, that's all.

Apparantly, the gun he had wasn't responsible for 3 of the shootings.
This is worrying.

I find it amusing that the guy managed to tip the police off himself. He avoids detection for so long then makes a school girl error boasting about it? Strange.

Get facts correct before jumping the gun!

Wasn't it a Gulf war veteran?

RI:SE said that he had modified his car to shoot from the boot or something

*goes to read a news site to check*
