This is fucking disgusting. I turn on my TV, and the local stations are saying some kid got shot in the stomach as he was being dropped off at school in Maryland. I live in the DC area, and this is scary. We've got some psycho sniper on the loose and no end in sight. Just makes me realize more and more that humans are the dumbest fucking species on the planet.

My question is... where do they take those guns??? Sniper rifles are in the $10,000$ stuff and you need some experience to use them, unless it wasn't really a sniping thing.

I don't know but... it is freaky. honestly, I wouldn't let my kids go to school while he was still loose. I bet that kid's parents didn't even think it could happen to their kid.

This disgusts me very much...... I hope when they catch this guy.... N/M

Oh God... I totally forgot about Silent Scope. I just hope that when they catch the guy, that they don't trace him back to the local arcade playing Silent Scope for hours on end. If they do, I GUARANTEE there will be an enormous uproar about video game violence and all hell will break loose on the issue once again.

I sincerely hope that when they find this guy, they don't arrest him, and instead just riddle his body in a hail of bullets. What a scum! <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

Why shoot him/her? That would be far too generous a death. What they need to do is tie him/her to a pole and let all the families of the victims throw bricks at him until he screams for his life and he dies slowly from head and body trauma.

Personally I vote for a return to hangings in the town square, and this guy should be the first. <img src="graemlins/blowtop.gif" border="0" alt="[Blow Top]" />

Pour honey on his genitals and then make him dip his nuts in a jar full of red fire ants.

Was this a reference to "The Wrath of God" Naitram?
The Cuddler and all that BS?

You know if these wackos would actually assualt people who could actually fight back (i.e. soldiers/police) I might actually find this shit interesting. But for cryin' out loud some dude was just pumping his gas? I too don't understand what is going on here. You never hear of some wacko Sniper calling up the Police Swat Teams best Sharp Shooter and saying "Welcome to your Doom" and the two have at it trying to stay one step ahead of the other... nope, it's always some fuckard who's gotta' gun down non-armed citizens? Then again this is why everyone should be armed, to at least have a fighting chance, although in this case it's moot since the individual obviously was a mile away. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

If they find him or her (funny how no one thinks it could be some scorned woman) the punishment should meet the crime, meaning the victims family's should all get their hands on Sniper Rifles and shoot the guy/girl to pieces, like the sniper scene in FULL METAL JACKET in Hue City.

Come to think of it, Dave and Busters did recently get rid of Silent Scope 2 in Rockville...

Uh, I have no idea what that is. I suppose getting your balls bitten off by fire ants could be the wrath of God...He did send plagues of frogs, boils, fire and brimstone...but I just have this thing about being killed by insects.

Even with a handgun, there's no way you can prevent a hit from a sniper. The only protection you would need to have would be to cover yourself with bullet proof stuff and even then the sniper might be able to go through this... This is just crazy. Like I ask before, how in the world can you get a sniper rifle like you can get a toy? It's not as easy as Silent Scope. You have to take the wind in condition, the velocity, etc... It's not just shoot and dead like a videogame. Whoever did this knew what he was doing.

I like your approach StormRider about how a little punk like this wouldn't challenge a SWAT member. I've read that it's the 13th victim and they can't catch him. Man, this is one messed up situation.

I've always wondered why it is so easy to get real fire weapons in USA. Here in Europe it is much more difficult, that's why those type of killers, or any other gun-related crime are much rarer.

So please ban the weapons, not the videogames. An I'm against the death penalty too. Let's just hope they catch that insane guy before it's too late.

It may not be an official "sniper rifle" he could just be using a high powered rifle with a scope attatched. The ammunition he is using is said to be commercially available. And this wacko is only shooting still targets. I turned on the TV this morning and the police were on a manhunt in some woods based on a tip. They didn't find anybody though.
