wlie 0 #3 October 24, 2002 Back in 1991 when we sent troops to go kick Saddam's ass, there was a sniper sending a message about how he was opposed to the idea. So motorists along I-5 were randomly being shot at. About the same time we're going to send troops to Saddams' backyard, we have another sniper case. I don't know if the 1991 sniper was ever caught, but this news has me thinking that it very well might the same guy.My other ride is the relative wind.

Spy38W 0 #4 October 24, 2002 Interesting theory (not meant to sound condescending or anything) My theory for a while was that the sniper was trying to get a great deal of police force focused on catching him, thus distracting them from other things, in order to facilitate another terrorist attack. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #5 October 24, 2002 Distraction is definitely one theory. It could also be a test to see how authorities respond to "phantoms". This is the work of maybe 1 or 2 people. And it's pretty much shut down the city. Imagine some terrorist group doing this in say 7 other major cities. It could just shut down the whole country. The thing we've learned from 9/11 is that these terrorists are poor. They'll do anything as cheaply as possible to send their message.My other ride is the relative wind.
