The sniper... how long until we see the first copycat?

Post #59,280 by admin 10/24/02 10:27:32 PM Reply	The sniper... how long until we see the first copycat? I think we'll see at least one. Hopefully, either too stupid to get away with it for long, or too arrogant to allow himself to get away with it for long. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Copycats? different brand of wacko - but we certainly generate lots (why our richest Corp made all their $$ from that gene). Ashton

I do not suggest vigilantism of any sort for that leads to wounded knee actions. I do submit that being armed aware and practiced that the American Citizen can be the first level of response against low tech attacks and bring the full force of the law against those who either misuse or mistakenly shoot the wrong person. Be fully aware of your targets, practice, and when fired upon by an identifiable assailent shoot to kill. Never pull a gun unless willing to shoot it if you shoot it shoot to kill be aware that you are fully responsible for your actions thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Therefore, by objective standards, the leading managers of the U.S. economy...are collectively, clinically insane."

By reports, these guys (if they are the sniper team, which seems increasingly likely) don't seem to have been particularly smart, except in equipping a vehicle for sniper activity. They couldn't afford a Motel 6? OK, maybe they couldn't afford two vehicles, one to shoot from, one to drive. Maybe I better shuttup now before I give anyone ideas.
