Nah. Couldn't be the one. Doesn't fit the FBI profile. Not an American, and got an extra X chromosome to boot!

Whatever happened to the original reports of 2 hispanic or middle eastern males leaving the scene in a white "step van"?
Great graphics on Michelle, the she-lion.
Huh? SKS is a fun little carbine, but an assault rifle it isn't.
1,000 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition in his home (the same caliber used by the D.C.-area sniper)
.22 is not the same as .223! I think Michelle needs a bit of real life firearms training. Any volunteers?
1. NOBODY simply 'snaps' and becomes an efficient serial assassin, complete w/ shooting skills.
2. These leftists nutjobs don't have the fortitude for this 'close-up' work -- That's why they bomb.
3. 'Mooslems' M.O. = Terror thru' random violence, with DC and NYC already established as target areas. They're working in DC's bedroom communities . . .
4. I don't see anything 'weird' about this. Every move they make is dictated by two simple objectives; Maximizing effect, and minimizing the odds of getting caught . . .
That sensitive individual you're describing went directly from jail -- to kicking his dog . . .
No. The top female Soviet military sniper of the Great Patriotic War was Soviet Naval Landing force sniper Lyudmilla Pavlichenko, the first citizen of the USSR to be entertained in the White House, with 300+ kills, usually given as 309.
The top military sniper of all time was Finnish target competitor Simo Hayha, with 515 recorded kills during the 4-month invasion of Finland from November 1939 to February, 1940. This was even more of an achievement considering that it took place during a brutal winter near the Arctic Circle, where daylight lasted for but 4-5 hours per day, though some of Hayha's hits were made at night as Soviet troops tried to warm themselves around open fires.
The all-time most prolific sniper was probably the American shooter Lew Wetzel, whose family had been killed by Indians, and in return, Wetzel, known to his foes as *the wind of Death* spent the rest of his life eliminating them wherever he encountered them, primarily with his .32 caliber flintlock Pennsylvania rifle, but also utilizing other novelties. He is believed to have killed well over a thousand.

You raise valid objections to my theory, let me try to question them in return -
1. NOBODY simply 'snaps' and becomes an efficient serial assassin, complete w/ shooting skills.
You're right - spree and serial killers don't "snap" and become hyper efficient killing machines. They snap and start to kill. The person doing this killing is either "self-taught" or with military training. Probably disturned from youth, whatever knowledge he has is incidental to the killing. If he didn't snipe, he'd make a bomb, or show up with a gun at a restaurant and start spraying. His skill or experience with a long gun is incidental to his desire to kill. That desire festered within him for years, until there was some event that snapped him. Lost his job, lost his spouse, got in a fight with a friend, maybe even just got cut off in traffic. Or, if my theory is correct, got really pissed about something that happened at the lefto demonstrations in DC Last week.
2. These leftists nutjobs don't have the fortitude for this 'close-up' work -- That's why they bomb.
But - it's not close up work. He kills from a distance, apparently at such a distance that he can abscond quickly, leaving very little trace of himself.
3. 'Mooslems' M.O. = Terror thru' random violence, with DC and NYC already established as target areas. They're working in DC's bedroom communities . . .
That's a good point - but think of it in a different way. The people who live in those bedroom communities are the federal employees, bureaucrats, politician staffers, etc. who have "ruined our environment and sold the country out to the big corporations." But I really don't think that that's the motivation, the killer is inspired by what his victims are doing or where they are when they kill him, and not in the big picture suburb sense - more in the locational sense.
4. I don't see anything 'weird' about this. Every move they make is dictated by two simple objectives; Maximizing effect, and minimizing the odds of getting caught . . .
Not much to disagree with there - the killer clearly is looking for impact, and doesn't want to get caught. But why does he seek that impact? How has he justified these crimes in his mind (serial killers usually do, all but a few don't like to admit they're monsters), and what makes him choose the victims he chooses?
And there's been another shooting at a gas station, I wonder when someone will connect those dots? I'll admit, the gas station could indicate an Islamoterror angle. But what about the shootings at the chain stores? What about the kid?
Say, is there some kind of pool in progress for these theories ??
