The Sniper

Hi, I have recently been watching the news and I cannot see how the Police are going to catch this sniper.

Ok, they have a sighting of a few notes/letters, a white van but hell, how many white vans travel the streets each day?
surely this dude watches the news and knows they will be looking for a white van (if he actually drives a white van) and change vehicle

It really annoys me to hear the Police say things like "just go about your regular day" and similar, how can they expect people to do so with such a maniac lurking in the shadows with a high powered rifle?

What are your veiws on this?

i surely wouldnt go outside as long as that mothersnower is murdering...that would be a much higher risk than iam willing to take.
about catching him, well its very tuff for the police i can imagine if he just murders the next person that is around...its a really scary situation, imagine that maniac in your town.
and worst thing is after they catched him there may come others coying him...omg is all you can say about that thought.

This is why we need, and will eventually build, the Big Brother System, with video survaillance everywhere (yes everywhere) and little transmitting beacons inside every person that will be neccessary to buy food and take part in society. That way we can stop or punish all crime, with the side effect of limiting freedom (but just the "bad" freedom). Bad being defined by whoever controls the system at the time.

"So what if someone removes the beacon" you say? Well, there will be a huge net of satellites with heat-seeking cameras (or airplanes if they donīt have that kind of range) that sweeps the world, comparing heat signals with beacon positioning, and sending out patrols to investigate heat that isnīt accompanied by a beacon.

Of course this will also mean we will have to outlaw pets, but having a pet can be considered cruelty to animals anyway.

With this system in place, the mad shooter could easily be stopped. And other crimes. I think it will happen some day.

I hope they find the shooter and then never talk about him again. Media exposure is clearly what he wants, and I think itīs wrong to give it to him. He should just receive the good old fashined killing and be done with.

yeah I also saw that on the news..It seems the sniper thinks he's God cause he leaves the death card at the scene..atleast he did 2 times and wrote a note saying : "dear policeman I am God"

Now I think this is a very sick person and I hope they catch him before he kills someone else

Weekends over and he strikes again.  He's getting closer and closer to my parents' house.  I've been to that Home Depot he just hit at many times.  What do the police say?  "We're dealing with a real wacko who just doesn't care."  Nah, really?  So is the main qualification for being Chief of Police to be really good at stating the obvious?

My thought on this hole situation are, that there is one sick puppy out there! How can anyone just shoot someone in cold blood?! I have a hard time dealing with the fact, that I might hit an animal when I am driving, let alone the fact of KILLING someone!! I am a mother of 3 and I tell you I could not imagine taking life I know the joys of bringing life into this world!

Heard on the news that the guy that claimed to see the sniper was lying to the police... I knew it would be like this, how could someone see such a pro?

...are you trying to say that it makes you more manly to be immersed in an environment where you can watch as much of the unnecessary killing all around you as you would like?

Why is it better to live somewhere where that sick stuff happened? Are you proud of your fellow countrymen?

Oh and to my recollection that has happened in the deep south of america during their racial wars.

The sniper is in and around Washington DC,2extreme.

And WaHoO_WoO that happens all the time in the south U.S. but not quite so often anymore.  A couple years ago in Texas it happened.

most recent information on CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/South/10/21/sniper.shootings/index.html

Nothing about the people/person being military trained, or Canada.

Side Note:  Uh, do we really need a My-Country-Is-More-Brutal-Than-Yours contest?  Humans behave badly; let's leave it at that.
