ordos45 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 They do investigate people wanting to buy sniper rifles, since there really is nothing to shoot with them except people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 People who are really into hunting by sniper rifles all the time. My best friend likes shooting at the deer (in the legal way) from very afar and is very good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Sniper rifles shouldn't be sold, what else would you do with them but shoot people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlyPIG Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Indeed, this is a terrible, terrible string of events. To me, the demographics of the victims doesn't matter in this kind of situation. If was some guy raping and murdering a girl, then IMO, the younger, the more dispicable. But nobody stands a chance against this guy. When you're in a scope from 200 yards away, it doesn't matter how old you are.However, when you kill a child, you deprive them of the chance to grow up, do good, and be something, so in that respect it's worse.But back on topic. Has any one opperd the idea that this could be a "terrorist" plot ?I would highly doubt it. I thought it might be until the tarot card discovery. It would be a message of Jihad or something, not a grim reaper death card with "I am God" written on it. Heck, the statement "I am God" in itself is contrary to Islam. From what the psycological profilers have been saying, it is likely that he is a sadist who uses murder as a heroin. They are saying that this is one of the worst possible psyche for a killer because, once you've had that first shot of heroin, you're addicted. Essentially, they say this guy will continue to murder until he is caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zamboe Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 If i am not wrong all the people killed by this monster were in Virginia, I wonder if in the State of Virginia exists the dead penalty for those cases of serial killers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 I think it does. But I think a worse punishment is to spend the rest of your life in prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Most were in Maryland if my memory serves me right. He shot 6 or 7 people in one day in a suburb in Maryland. He's moving around, now, because people are being more alert. Also, he may be responsible for a murder committed on Sept 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 why? why is it worse to kill a kid than an adult? we are all human, regardless of age. I am not saying it isn't sad, and that the guy deserves the worst punishment that can be given, but it is just as sad for the kids who's parents or grandparents have been killed as it would be for the parents of the kids that have been. its cause children are more defenseless, but every victim has been.i dont really know ???

Mahdi Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 It's human nature to protect the young, it has to do with a little somethign called survival of the speciesw. Same thng with the "womenandchildren first". It only takes oneman to help re-populatethe earth,but it'd takea hell of a lot mroe women and kids.

Razorox Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 He shoots his victims from a very long distance- perhaps 50 meters or more!50m? That is nothing. Even weaker sniper rifles (Winchester .300 for example) have accurate range upto 300m, better ones (Beretta .50 browning) around 700m. If he was shooting from 50m, they probably would have seen him...You could shoot accurately at 50m with a high powered pistol, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 50 meters isn't really all that much. The rifle he's using I believe is accurate up to 600 meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repoman Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Is he using a silencer? What sort of weapon is he using?My money is on him being a Jihad believerC&C generals sums up this whole situation ans what we are heading for. This world is about to start being held hostage by random terrorists. This is one guy, imagine what this would do if it were a hundred people all over the world. Once again ladies and gentleman you can thank religion for creating this episode of events. When will the world wake up and see that any religion causes division in this world.

pointybum Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 If it was Jihad leader then would it makes sense to shoot government officials?Like that Vassili Zaitsev, the Russian Sniper in 2nd WW, he created a media frenzy that demorilised the German army by dropping high ranked german officers. The random shootings and the his victims doesnt demonstrate Jihad order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 The sniper is definitly not a jihad believer, if he was he wouldn't write "im god" on tarot cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Maybe he/she is practicing so that they can hit someone at a VERY long distance. Say... the President behind his guards? Pardon my saying so, but if only. If killing Bush meant bringing those people back to life I know I wouldn't hesitate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Or maybe the tarot card is to throw us off eh? Maybe he a Jihad believer, but smart enough to put a distracting card to detract them from the truth. Who knows...And I think the media is putting too much into this, it's all over the tv for crying out loud! This could inspire copycats and other killers...
