The shell casing is good news. A shell casing with one fingerprint is exactly what broke the case when that ME guy shot CIA people outside headquarters in Fairfax.
I don't remember the exact year it happened, but officials tracked that creep down in Pakistan, brought him back, and he's due to be executed sometime this year.
Keep your head down.
Could have just as easily left a blue, red or purple, or any number of colored "do" rags (or is it dew, doo, du, doo-doo? - hell who knows with gang lingo) related to that area for gangs. It wouldn't be hard to "do" (*ahem*)
Find nothin...shoot 'em..oh, wait..is this still in Maryland?
How about that his first shot was at a "Michaels" store in Maryland - a miss, only hit a window.
Then he goes out of his way to find another Michaels, this one in Virginia, to make up for his "mistake."
My guess is that the "originals" don't care. I believe the poor kid was the victim of a copycat nutcase, but the long distance sniper shootings last week were the result of (a) trained terrorist(s).
I suspect it is disinformation (either by the authorities or the sniper) however, since nothing was left at the other scenes.
I also suspect the sniper may have a connection of some kind to that particular school. I don't think that it's a coincidence that the child he shot is thirteen. Thirteen is the age of accountability in Christianity and the age of bar mitzvah in Judaism. Since muslims have "borrowed" from Judaism and Christianity to arrive at their warped beliefs, I suspect they have a similar belief--which means the sniper could justify shooting this child on the grounds that he really wasn't a child anymore.
I also suspect that we are looking for a black muslim from an al Fuqra cell. It's entirely possible that someone in his family knows this child at least enough in passing to know that he is thirteen and that he would be arriving at school at a time when a clean shot was likely.
