D.C. sniper 10 years later: ‘I was a monster’
Yahoo ^ | 9/30/2012 | Dylan Stableford

Lee Boyd Malvo, who was convicted along with John Allen Muhammad in the 2002 D.C. sniper shootings that left 10 dead and three wounded, says he remembers the killings vividly but can't explain why he did what he did.

"I was a monster," Malvo told the Washington Post in a recent interview from a Virginia prison where he's serving six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. "If you look up the definition, that's what a monster is. I was a ghoul. I was a thief. I stole people's lives. I did someone else's bidding just because they said so. There is no rhyme or reason or sense."

Malvo, now 27, was a teenager at the time of the shootings. Muhammad was executed in 2009. The shooting spree lasted three weeks before the pair were arrested at a truck stop in Maryland.

"At that point in time, I had been desensitized," Malvo continued. "In the midst of the task, there is no feeling. It got to a point where I'd get in a zone. There was nothing else but whoever is before me, and anything that comes between me and, as you would say, the target, I'm either going...

Last I read, he was a patrol officer in Hawaii. Not a chief.. a patrol officer. I remember someone telling me at the time that he had a speech impediment. Uh.. that is ebonics. Not a speech impediment. Good riddance.

Where the hell is that stupid Chief Moose anyway. What an ass he made of himself. Can anyone find a single person to speak and intelligent word about him?

Why wasn't Lee Boyd Malvo put down instead of getting six life without parole sentences?

There had been a report of a dark sedan, at first, but some witnesses started talking about the white van. Yes, Chief Moose mentioned it, but it was the media that picked it up and ran with it, forgetting about the sedan.

We watched a show on TV a couple of weeks ago about the shootings, and how difficult it was to catch them. It turned out that a mistake on the part of the duo, and the memory of one of John Muhammed's neighbors in the NorthWest, was what brought them down.

During one of their 'stakeouts', and where they left a note for the LEO's(which I don't remember hearing about at the time;good police work), there was an empty snack bag with a fingerprint on it. When they were caught, they had the fingerprint to connect them to the scene.

And the neighbor in WA state, I think, remembered Muhammed doing target practice in his back yard, then all of a sudden, he was gone. He thought something was hinky about him, and when the shootings were going on, he called the LEOs in VA to tell them about it.

He was in the U.S. illegally. He and his "mentor" were both living at the Lighthouse Mission, a homeless shelter in Bellingham WA well prior to their shooting spree. Malvo was picked up by Border Patrol and processed for deportation. Somehow the immigration courts decided to let him go instead.

Unchecked Illegal Immigration has consequences.

Would have lover to have seen that!
I just remember at the gas station, tanking up, making sure it was on the inside of the pump, not outside, etc.
Just feeling so vulnerable...
I now have a 20 gauge pump action shot gun and plan on a concealed .38 Special in the near future....just in case.

Oh really?
So you are an expert in the psychological profile of people like this?
Did I say he should walk out of prison? Did I even say I feel sorry for him?
I do try to practice my Christian faith which, last time I looked, teaches forgiveness...which I believe I said I found hard in this incident.
As for even nearing “liberal touchy-freely crap”, I don’t need to prove to you or anybody else my conservative bona fides.

So, is it remorse, or is it lobbying?

It's Memorex!...but I digress... XD

Nothing like a good, old fashioned remorse for a lobbyist to use to tug on the heartstrings of bleeding liberals and RINOs, is there.

I think the New York Times still has a reporter covering that angle. Never know when new opportunities for revisionism evidence might turn up.

He was also in his drawings glorifying OBL and Saddam Hussein at the same time but the press didn’t want to dwell on that either because they were still emitting their “Iraq is secular and has nothing to do with al Qaeda” propaganda.

September 11th, 2002 : (NJ : ) On September 11th, 2002, suspected Sniper John Allen Muhammad walked into the Camden, New Jersey State Motor Vehicles office, to register the now-notorious "blue Caprice" he'd just purchased. Though the car had not yet converted been into a rolling sniper's nest, what happened in the next several minutes leaves little doubt that Muhammad had something sinister in mind. The registration transaction began at 8:52 am. At 8:58 am., while Muhammad was still standing at the counter, someone (now believed to be fellow suspect, Lee Malvo) phoned a bomb threat at the Motor Vehicles office on the 1st Anniversary of what...----- Sniper killings, hideout, clustered near old Al-Fuqra terror target!November 4th, 2002 | Sabertooth Monday, November 04, 2002

Note that they registered the car they were going to modify on the anniversary of 9/11.

Their killing spree around the beltway started October 2.

October 2 just happens to be the anniverasry of the day the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman was convicted in 1995.

What’s the source for that? Is Sabertooth someone’s screen name?

I presume the implication is that Malvo phoned in the threat at nearly the precise moment that anniversary anxiety would have been highest, in order to distract attention from — and reduce scrutiny of — Muhammad’s registration.
