• Hello!

Here is my theory - the sniper is an ex Navy Seal who left because he couldn't pass Sniper Training, and is now pissed off at the world.
Allow me to explain why.

He once left the police a card with a picture of Death on it, with the words "I Am God" scribbled across it.
In the film Navy Seals the Sniper was called 'God'. That is clue number one.
In the film, God did not pass sniper training and quit to become freelance instead (which, of course, there is not so much call for in real life). Clue two.
Um...
Oh, and the Sniper-killer can't drive either - that's another clue.
How do I know that? Because the only thing his shootings have in common is that they all happen around cars.
So. Er...
Yeah, that's about it. Sounded much better last night when I was drunk.
What do you think?

Its all just a case of Wesley Snipes making a literal joke of his name and having some japes asyoudo. You're probably right though. Or maybe he fancies himself as Jane Seymour in Live and Let Die

Ah come on. We all know it's been caused by the killer playing too much Silent Scope in the arcades, and the violence involved in computer games nowadays caused his line between reality and gaming to become blurred...

Life is a computer game

<CTRL-C>

Hehehe.
Don'tcha just wish you could say "IDKFA" and "IDErr(The code for God in Doom)" and get loads of weapons and shit?
=]

Mind you I've never tried...

Nope. Doesn't work and now everyone in the office thinks I am a freak =[

we all thought you were already :p

=]

I have just read an article about the Sniper-Killer.
Apparently he left that 'I Am God' card because he wanted to be found.
No he didn't.
I he had wanted to be found, he would have written:
"I am Chet Geblowski. I live at 32 Bad-man street, Washington DC" or something...

Can someone answer me this: Can a civilian buy a sniper rifle from a gun store (with a licence or whatever)?

Yes. He could well be using a Hunting Rifle which cab be bought over the counter in many shops like Quickmark

Shop smart - shop S-mart

Love that film

My mum works for John Lewis and she has to carry all her stuff to work in a clear bag so that security can see she hasnt nicked anything.

soooooo

Maybe they should take this stance in the States for a while. When they see somebody carrying around parts of a sniper rifle they can grab him.

Simple if you think about it

"Simple if you think about it"

So are you. hohoho :D

I'm sooo funny it hurts

"So are you."

No smilie? I'm hurt!

Ah the power of edit.

Now you look REALLY stupid ;P

Everyone in America should wear bullet proof vests and bash hats. That would put the sniper-man off. No one could get killed by him then.

I am aware this could become slightly expensive, so maybe they could create makeshift bullet proof vests out of a really thick baking tray or something and a bash hat could be made out of a normal woollen hat but with metal reforcement build in to the inside.

Good thinking, eh?

Or maybe they should stop handing out guns over the counter...

Nah!

Thats not gonna happen is it? If a nutter wants to get his hands on a gun, hes gonna do it one way or another.

Metal reinforced wollen hats are the way forward I think.

And baking tray jumpers.

I've got it! Give everyone a gun. That way, the sniper shoots someone, and gets torn to bits as everybody else empties a clip into him.

I AM THE CLEVEREST MAN ALIVE!

I live in America and right near where the last shotting occured.

A bullet proof vest won't save you when you get shot in the head and that is what this guys has been aiming for.

If we allow our selves to get scared and stay inside then he wins. I hope they find him soon.

This subject hits very close to home for me.

Now, thats a bit violent - Grim...

How about big umbrellas made out of light-weight bullet proof plastic?

November - what about the woollen hat idea then?

I'm not even taking the piss with this one...

Um, you're not?

Nov - you probably know more about this than us - what's going on? Why haven't they found him/her yet?

well, maybe i am little bit....

If there were a sniper in my neighbourhood killing innocent people at random, I'd be scared shitless. I feel for those people.

Just imagine pumping gas into your car one moment, and then lying next to your car dead, not knowing who or where the person was that killed you.

They've got to catch this bastard quickly or many other innocent people will die. I wonder if this is another Al-Qaeda terrorist attack?

I think its just some jumped up kid with a gun.

I agree its a terrible thing. You have got to be seriously f**ked up to go around shooting people like rabbits.

erm, that's a very odd conclusion gary

i wonder if it's you. or my mum. they would both make just as much sense. this isn't terrorism, it's not organised crime, it's some loon.

You have got to be seriously f**ked up to go around shooting people like rabbits

You have to be seriously f**ked up to go around shooting rabbits

Ermm, thats true. But, you know, them rabbits dig holes and shit little round poos everywhere....

erm, that's a very odd conclusion gary

I don't think it is, Cal. It's a perfectly reasonable one given recent events.

Rosie:
but they eat their poos again so that is OK

You are aware that there still hasn't been any released proof that the Al-Qa'ida had anything to do with the destruction of the twin towers, pentagon or the Bali night club, are you not?

Gary. I would tend to agree with Cal and Grim... How does this bear any relationship to any of the terror attacks by Al-Qaeda? I think that pretty much ALL the shooting sprees in the US have been home grown good old all American boys.

It like the Bali bombing. within minutes it was "oh must be Al-Qaeda",

so apparently all crime is in some way linked with Al-Qaeda all of a sudden

Rabbits don't eat poos, they eat leaves and berries, silly!

:-)

I don't think it is, Cal. It's a perfectly reasonable one given recent events.

a friend of mine got broken into a couple of weeks ago. given recent events, is it reasonable to assume it was al-qaeda?

My Mini Babybels were robbed from my fridge yesterday. Was it Bin-Laden?

maybe it was Mini-Laden. his cheese loving comedy clone

HAHAHHAHH!!

we could attack him with Mini-Baby Bel-istic Missiles.

Boom Boom

Actually, they are taking the terrorist angle seriously... Police Suppress Terrorism Angle

they are taking things more seriously than me and Rosie then

The Irish got onto the terrorist wagon too.
The stormed the RSPCA and slaughtered a load of Afgan Hounds =]

Chandler, I am sticking with you on this one mate. I agree that if we attack them with cheese we would end up the winners.....

Anyone think it's more that coincidence that America got hammered on 9/11 and Bali got done on 10/12?

I don't. And I don't believe that 9/11 was meant to represent the emergency number either. It's just a date.

Rosie: Yes, and the history books would talk in great length about the Great Cheese Wars of 2002/3. Where the lactose intollerant all perished, too weak to survive the onslaught of high velocity milk based projectiles.

and no one will forget the e-Dam Busters
or the Brie-dom Fighters

Grim... : you're right, its nothing but coinsidence. I was reading an article that was saying that the culture of that area does not attach significance to repeating dates or figures in the same way we do in the west. Thats why I wasnt expecting any attack 9/11 this year cos it just isnt something that they would think to do.

Of course I am aware there is no proof that the shootings are linked to Al-Qaeda - I didn't say that - I said I was just wondering, speculating, making a conjecture, call it what you want just don't all jump on me with silly jokes and pedantic replies. If this continues, here and in other threads, you shall find me no longer posting here anymore.

You are aware that there still hasn't been any released proof that the Al-Qa'ida had anything to do with the destruction of the twin towers, pentagon or the Bali night club, are you not?

I think it's a foregone conclusion - and even if it isn't, it's bound to be a groups linked to them. And yes, the 9/11 and 10/12 thing is believable - it's a typical Al-Qaeda trait - timing.

Conflicting opinions there.
/me is off to create a 'Will anyone miss Gary' poll =]

cal- mouse mat in post. :-)

C U all tomorrow.....

" it's a typical Al-Qaeda trait - timing."

what??!! timing, and planning events is VERY different from attaching silly significance to dates, which is a very Western trait.

oh, the last time I looked at the news the sniper had hit 9 people, the next time I checked it was 11. spooky 9...11 must be Al-Qaeda.

I said: "I wonder if this is another Al-Qaeda terrorist attack?" I did not say, "this is definetly Al-Qaeda".

In response to Cal calling my wondering 'odd', I then said: "It's a perfectly reasonable one given recent events." And it is. It's America, they're Americans, it's yet more violence, yet more people being killed. I did not say it was Al-Qaeda.

Hang on - so America was non-violent before the ninth of September last year?

WAKE UP!

Timing/planning, whatever. I know what I meant, even if you didn't! :P

I'm pretty sure the USS Cole got bombed on 10/12 two years ago, though...

Hang on - so America was non-violent before the ninth of September last year?

I have not said it was Al-Qaeda and I never said America wasn't violent before 9/11. You're putting words in my mouth - please refrain from doing so, it only makes you look silly.

erm yeah

matt: IDDQD (from a while ago)

Woo! This thread makes it to Topic Of The Day!

Gary: In the same paragraph...
"It's a perfectly reasonable (wondering) given recent events - it's yet more violence, yet more people being killed."

It may not be what you meant: Perhaps it's your English that leads to trouble.

(Not wanting to cause offence): Are you foreign?

Sorry - a better way to phrase that would have been:

"Is english your second language?".

well, he is from birmingham

but no, gary speaks english

English is my first language. I am British. I wondered if it was Al-Qaeda - I did not say it was. There is a difference.

And if you read it as I am saying it was Al-Qaeda, then you'd have a lot of difficulties making conversation in Birmingham! :P

Hey everyone lets all poke Gary with this stick.

no I havent finished,

oi, get your own stick,

hey, oh you've broken it.

now neither of us has the stick

hey, Gary's getting away, oi, get him everyone.

hey where did you get THAT stick from

oi, don't poke me, we are supposed to after Gary.

hey stop it, thats not fair.

Oh, god, whats that on the end of the stick

errrr. mummmmmmmy.

sob.

the end

It's alright, Chandler. I don't need anyone to point out the obvious goading going on here. I'm just a fool for replying every time, that's all.

Thanks all the same, though. :)

everyone: stop winding people up. expect me. you're allowed to wind me up as much as you like

I'm not so sure I should give you guys a longer stick to poke me with, but here goes - this is from CNN:

"U.S. investigators plan to question al Qaeda detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, about the series of sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C.-area, government sources said today."

Well, I did wonder, didn't I? However, I should paste the rest of the CNN quote:

"The sources emphasize there is no current evidence linking the shootings to any terror organization."

I haven't been following the news much. I tend not to watch TV or read the papers.

I just know that at every exit on to the major highways there are 2-4 cops at each one, waiting for the next shooting.

Can I ask what you think, Nov?

Ew - Cal is a big poopy head!

(In response to your 17:47 post)

Gary,

I rather not express my opinion on here. I have learned that there are just somethings that you can't discuss with people.

Nov,

I understand completely. I can probably guess why too.

Gary,

Thanks for understanding.

guys, have a look at this, I found it quite funny.
I am a bit broken though.

www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war15.html

that's pretty funny

"My girlfriend went to Washington and all I got were her personal effects."

ouch

"well, he is from birmingham@"

Cal, that's so harsh! Some of my best friends are Brummie half-wits! ;)

Dammit, pure winding up territory and im not here to bait chandler (and by the looks of it, gary)
Bah.

Nov: Anytime! :)

oh great so now I have a reputation for wanting to argue. Well damn you all to hell! ;D

a man has just been arrested

the police sorrounded a white van following a shooting this morning I think

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/23469...

Hope that's him

Or her...

Lets not be sexist. But they did say man, which I largley attribute to the male sex. Although in the world of man-hunt I suppose you could be right.

whether it's him or not, i'm sure the police will beat him up until he confesses. ahhh

Democracy in action eh

Conspiricy time:
For huge cases such as this, do you think the police have ever got an under-cover agent to pose as the killer so they could 'arrest' them and 'keep the streets safe'?

I dated a fed for 4 years and, honestly, I don't think they could pull off the fake sniper scenario. They are really not that well organized, despite all of the fantastic films.

matt: it wouldn't work in this case since the sniper would continue to kill

Aha!
Copycat killer!

Last week I watched a documentary on the Zodiac killer (San Francisco in the 60s). He just stopped killing people one day.

They still don't know who he was or why he quit.

The Zodiac was probably Al-Qaeda.

Looks like another shooting.

Damn Al-Quaida earthquakes shaking manchester.

hahahahaahhahhahaha

Heh, that started just down the road from me (in Dudley), everyone was *so* convinced it was WWIII or a bomb or something at the time... stupid seismic movements. :'(
