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

People do all sorts of stupid things, maybe it's something that's happened in his personal life that has made him decide to take it out on others.

But my guess is he'll put in a demand for money, or something along those lines.

Another thing a little while ago is this woman in USA is dying of cancer from smoking.... very sad indeed. BUT, she is sueing the tabacco company becuase she said they didn't have warnings on when she started and then she couldn't stop and now she's gonna die and apparently thats their fault. BUT the even worse bit is that she's trying to sue them for.... are you ready...... 18 billion dollars. Thats how stupid americans can be. Sure she's dying but no 1 life is worth 18billion and besides she'll 'pass away' and then her family will be rich from her death and they did not deserve it at all. Of course that amount will probably go down and hopefully give her like 2 million and then donate loads of the money she wanted to cancer research.

That's stupid because i'm really sure the sniper thought 'oooooh i can kill people with a sniper rifle in my game i know i'll go and do it in the streets' it's totally dumb. Wonder why Pro Evolution Soccer never makes me suddenly go 'hmmm i must go and play a game of football with my friends'

It's just people trying to find an excuse for all this and of course video games that great evil must be the cause. God forbid we shouldn't be politcally correct and call this guy a psycho. He's probably been one his whole life and no gaming session on Hitman 2 is going to make someone just go out and start killing.

I wonder when they will ever catch him. He said to leave a note at every killing.

He also put 'I am God' on a death Card.

I'll bet the sniper never played a sniping game. Games don't usually influence the way people act, so why do they make a fuss over it. Ban deer hunting instead.

Crazy Yanks indeed.
