killings in montogmery county

[Tuberski]

I'm kind of suprised, but I am siding a little with JT on this one.

I read a book by Larry Bond(I believe) called the Enemy Within a couple of years ago.

This could be construed as terrorist activity.

Think on this, what has happened in Montgomery County today?

People confused and living in fear.



Isn't that a terrorist's objective?

It was in the book mentioned earlier.

And it was plausible.

However, I want to make clear that I don't think we should go around rousting out Arab people from their homes because of this.

I don't know, nor would I conjecture at this point, as to who the theoretical terrorists are.

[Capt Dizle]

I am just trying to think about the possibilities. Don't get whacked out on my Arab comment.

One thing that occurs is that there have been changes in security arrangements in many places since 9/11. Many people working for security firms were ridiculed as untrained and ineffective. Underpaid and generally portrayed as being just one click above pond scum. Scenario: A couple of pals, maybe one ex-military, are laid off from a security related job. This really messes up their lives and they develop a serious disgrunted employee obsession because they really did their best and felt that they were good employees. They stick together and feed off each other's negativity.

Finally their bitterness grows to irrational proportions and they decide to strike back by going on a killing spree in a community with a large population of government employees.

The FBI is probably running this one down right now.

[Capt Dizle]

Taking that one step further perhaps the two disgruntled employees worked for a private firm that provided security to a facility that might have some link to biological research that could have a dual use (one of which could be related to WOMD). Perhaps the private firm was replaced with military or government security putting these men out of work.

They may have even kept their keys and used them to steal a company van for todays killing spree to prove that the new security is not so hot.

Jimmy sounds a lot like what I think of when I imagine imagine Tom Clancy.

I'm not sure whether that's more insulting to Tom or Jimmy.

[Capt Dizle]

I love Tom Clancy's books and I am writting my first novel. But at the rate I am going I will not be done before the written word is lost to civilization.

I think Clancy is the offended one here.

[Capt Dizle]

The wind got knocked out of my sails a bit when I saw Rose Red because King had a professor and a group of six psychics in a haunted house. I have a secret service agent, an FBI agent, and a professor with his six psychics on the trail of serial killers. Damn King stole my idea.

[KrazyHorse]

Must have used those psychics to do it.

well my relatives live in prince george's country so they are O.K>

damn snipers. this would not happen if guns were illegal

[chequita guevara]

Technically, jt's correct, serial killer's tend to kill close up, but there are always exceptions. Take Ted Kazinski for example. The man is a serial killer, but he never laid eyes on the people he killed. If there were about terrorism, there'd be an announcement to the press.

[Shi Huangdi]

Well Kazinski could be considered a terrorist in a way- he did his bombings to promote his anti-industrialization agenda.

[Dis]

yes I would loosely classify this as domestic terrorism.

But it could be just a guy who wants to kill people for some sort of personal fulfillment, but doesn't want to risk getting caught by doing it at short range.

[Capt Dizle]

If its terrorism there will probably be a trail of evidence to make it clear.

Anyway, please lets not get on gun control. If guns were outlawed, only outlaws would have guns.

Also, this may have been done with a hunting rifle which is rarely used in murders and wouldn't be effected by even the most radical gun control proposals.

[Dis]

the most radical would be to eliminate all guns , but I see your point.

I hate this saying!

It's a no-brainer.
Even formerly law abiding citizens that decide to keep their guns become "outlaws"!

It's kind of like finding something in the last place you look.

Well duh.......

[Capt Dizle]

The first thing that would happen if guns were outlawed is that everyone that didn't have one would rush to get one and those that had several would rush to get twenty more. Its so deeply ingrained in American culture it would be like prohibition, doomed to failure.
