If there is another demonicaly possesed labrador running around I am realy going to start to worry about this country.I will worry more if there is another wacko takeing orders from it.[/QUOTE]It never ceases to amaze me at the number and type of definite anti-social sicko's that are roaming our streets. But in this case I hope he has a better excuse than "God, Satan, the Labrador" told me to do it. Not that it will change the nature of his actions, I just like to see people wit imagination.

A proactionary law (outlawing something seen as a social ill BEFORE it can be put to ill use) abounds in the law. Sorry, but if the government can tell you you must wear a seatbelt, it can certainly tell you you can't own a gun. (Note - I'm NOT saying it *should*, just that it *can* and *does* and it is not seen as abuse).

Actually, seat belt laws do overstep .... and they allow police officers (not saying that they all do) the opportunity to harass motorists, without providing much to the public. I'll start another topic on this debate, don't want to distract from the current thread.

Back on topic ... this guy is most likely 30-50 white and male. Just hope they don't find out that he play roleplaying games or listened to Brittny Spears or something or the media will blame those as the cause of this psyco's killing spree and call for them to be outlawed .... for preventitive reasons of course . On second thought maybe Brittny Spears should be outlawed .... . Anyway, I just hope they catch him soon.

I haven't heard the exact facts about all this, but is there a white minivan spotted in several occasions ? If that's the case he shouldn't be THAT hard to find. Now i know there are probably A LOT of white minivans out there, but it certainly makes it easier when you know what you're looking for. Just like with Ted Bundy, if they didn't know he drove a beetle they might have never caught him.

I beg to differ. In the UK, we have extremely strict gun laws, and it works rather well. Having people just stand in the street shouting "BANG!" doesn't kill quite so many people as if that person could easily get his hands on firearms.

Magik - I heard on the news around 5:00pm that the actually DID confirm the shooting of the 13 year old boy today was indeed related to all the other sniper killings. Have they changed that now? Saw it on Fox. Not incase you mean yet another person has been shot?

Johnny - Yes ONE witness said to have seen a big white box truck (which don't drive very fast on the cuff so to speak) driving quickly at the scene of one of the murders. The police have been pulling over every box truck they find (not a minivan, more like a delivery truck) since last Wednesday. I'd imagine if these killer(s) are smart, they aren't driving in that vehicle anymore, if they ever were.

I hope they catch whoever is doing this so we can all relax again. It is still amazing how few witnesses there have been after so many murders in so many different places. They gotta slip up sometime (I hope).

I dont know LadyZekke...It was around 5 whenI heard on WMAL that they were just sending the bullet off to be analyzed....so I have no idea what is or is not for sure, except I don't think the authorities are any closer to solving this than they were yesterday

The day we heard about this we went to luch and counted 27 white "box" trucks, white vans, white delivery vehicles in just the couple miles we drove. There are litterally tens of thousands of those types of truucks here. AND today the "experts" were saying that that white truck (whatever kind it might have been) was probably ditched somewhere. Finding that one white truck is like knowing which flight is going to be targeted by terrorists. There are something like 40'000 commercial flights a day...how do you check them all...every day?

(you DO have several gun deaths each year and even more gun related crimes)

The issue is off topic and if you really want to open that discussion again, feel free to post a new thread. Right now we are trying to focus on whats going on with the people who live within 10 miles of me that have been killed.

That's funny, I've _always_ viewed it as abuse!

The government is supposed to protect me from violations of my rights - not be the prime violator of said rights.

who is this guy? and why is he sniping people? I mean, come on... what will happen when we capture this guy and find out who he is... WILL we capture this guy? Do we even have a clue as to who he might be? It's scarry! Just anybody could do this sort of thing too, but not just anybody could get away clean O_o this guy is either good or he's crazy, or he's both...
