Sounds like a complete idiot to me. We've had plenty or random serial killers and spree shooters in this country, of about every variety you could think of and then some. What is this guy smoking?

Do you have an opinion on the beltway sniper? Who he is and what motivates him/them?

I am of the opinion it is terrorist related but I'm not certain of that.

This is a first. Most people who are knowledgeable about this case will admit this is a unique case. We are seeing an op here that doesn't have a precedent.

I believe what the guy's trying to get at is not that there haven't been serial killers before, but that there hasn't been one so skilled at hiding his/her intentions, and that's what makes it unique.

Has the killer avoided killing Blacks because he/she doesn't want to appear racist? Has the killer killed only one Black to hide the fact that it is racially motivated? Does the killer have inside knowledge of how law enforcement operates, and knows how to stay ten steps ahead? We've heard a lot of speculation about an ex-military type (not so much the skill required, as the discipline and stealth required), but I haven't heard much speculation about an ex-FBI, ex-CIA, or other LE type.
