One of the latest news articles here.

They are saying some things I have already said. However, they cannot assume that the Shooter is unemployed simply because the attacks took place during normal working hours; he could be self-employed.
Of course he is becoming more brazen and challenging authorities; like I said, he views himself as superior and will not be stopped until he is killed. The Shooter will not allow himself to be captured alive, but he will leave some sort of note or video explaining himself behind.
The Shooter has not suffered a recent traumatic event and subsequently snapped. The profile of those who "go postal" is to attack their family or former place of employment, kill as many people as they can, then kill themselves.

The article asks what kind of political statement the Shooter is trying to make. What is the single largest political issue right now in America? Iraq. The Shooter is not a Middle Eastern man trying to terrorize America into not attacking Iraq. Rather, the Shooter is an American who wants us to think that terrorists are attacking us so that we will hit Iraq right now. No, he's not doing that with the permission of some secret government conspiracy, he doing it on his own. Besides, do you think two Middle Eastern men driving around a lot during working hours would be a little suspicious these days? The Shooter relies on anonymity and his ability to blend in; hence, he is American.

Could the Shooter be simply a thirll-killer? Perhaps, but soon the thrill of killing people from a distance will wear off and he'll want to try and kill someone up close, just to see if he can get away with it.
