| The Religion of Snipers |
| 2003-12-04 |
via comments at LGF. I hadn’t seen this blog before; looks like it’s worth a longer visit. I’m just posting a snip from one post; you must hit the link to see the pictures. and believe me, you need to see the pictures. While many news outlets are carrying the D.C. area sniper trial, they are desperately lacking in any real analysis of what these crimes really mean. Is this terrorism? Did religion -- namely Islam -- play a role in the killings? Is this connected to Osama’s al Qaeda, even if only via ideology? And, is any of this related to the new shooting spree in Ohio? |

| #5 This is yet another instance where the government is not being frank with us about foriegn terrorist involvemnt. It's part of what I was talking about yesterday in the Howard Dean Loses His Marbles comments. This isn't something we have to keep secret, because the enemy already knows. |

| #4 The media will never let on. If any of the drawings are mentioned, it will only be in an attempt to prove his "insanity." |

| #3 One of the people who testified was a teacher at Malvo's school. Her testimony, when read, was that he was a nice kid...until he started reading the Koran. Of course the Washington Post eviscerated the real point of the testimony. |

| #2 and one more thing...radio said the hunting season opened that day (hmmm..did I say Sunday..I meant Monday). So....how meaningful is it that they picked up some idiot with a gun? |

| #1 I drove through there on the Tuesday that the woman was killed, but didn't know anything about it. On the way back, (Sunday morning) I saw this kid in a bp gas station, just before the 270 loop. He was really creepy looking, wearing a new light blue ball cap and black slippers and was all rumpled like he'd slept in the car. Then he got in a late model car with an older man who clearly wasn't his father. The whole thing was so Malvo/Mohammed-esque, except they weren't Muslim or black or the least bit military looking...more like a young jersey hood and a 50ish, white NAMBLA member. It really creeped me out, so I stayed on 70 - avoiding the 270S loop. Ok..I know...they weren't the snipers...but they were creepy nevertheless. Those kind of jitters can't be good for local business. |
