What we know of sniper's thinking may echo song lyrics

The sniper defendants aren't talking about what motivated them - beyond an alleged demand for $10 million that has led to federal extortion charges.

In fact, all indications are they aren't talking to authorities at all.

But perhaps they already have.

This idiot has taken too much "ecstasy" or the real thing, d-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.

Whatever may have driven this person to be a "journalist", the author of this twilight zone crap lives in the land of Oz or a land that only exists between his ears or his groin...

Let's see, talk radio supposedly led to OKC, but songs about "killin devils" (devils is a standard angry black man's phrase for whites) have no affect on anyone.

Ping!

Actually, I know the guy....

What to make of this I don't know, but there seem to be a number of parallels between the rap lyrics and the messages left on Tarot cards for the police to find.

At some point, I hope someone will write a calm, dispassionate book about this affair that really gives all the details. Exactly what did all the notes say, for instance? What was in that laptop computer? What were the CDs they were listening to? Who did they meet, who did they talk to, where did they get their money? And so on.

I thought this article was fairly discriminating. It didn't just say they were Five Percenters and leave it at that, as other articles have suggested, but instead it made at least a start at sorting out the various possibilities.

"...Tarot cards..."

You know of more than one that is original?

Do you care to speak with the government on this? More than one card was never given out...
