Another Interstate Sniper

Sniper Article

Can you imagine driving down an interstate highway and your windshield suddenly explodes. I know that part of the interstate, and along that stretch of I69 there are plenty of small county road overpasses (bridges) that have no interstate access. Perfect places for a sniper to shoot and run because there are few houses and a patchwork of county roads allowing many escape routes.

I just can’t imagine what would drive a person to get up one morning and decide he/she is going on a sniper rampage. What kind of social/personal pressure must someone be in to resort to this kind of madness?

Shooting perfect strangers. Spreading terror through the local population. A candidate for the death penalty if I ever saw one.

How do you know he only shoots the perfect ones?

On the other hand, it may reduce people's driving - Is your journey really necessary?

I was just thinking that. It could also be someone from the global warming crowd or a member of ELF.

What really gets me is that this idiot comes from a small Midwest town. He is an example of a very frightening group of disaffected small town white males. Little education, no hope of college, no hope of ever making more than $10 an hour. They’re mean, drunk, well armed, and stupid. With a big chip on their shoulder because the they see the ‘American Dream’ passing them by.

Most folks don’t realize that small town USA has its own problems. Many of the folk who live in small towns around here derive most of their income from Social Security, SSI, and food stamps. Most small towns in the US also have a thriving black market in drugs and marijuana that are almost impossible for law enforcement to crack. Why? Because everybody knows each other. They know who has been arrested, they know who all the cops are. Hell, most of them grew up with the cops.

The point is that if these young hooligans ever got organized they would be a very dangerous group.

The sniper was definately a PeakOil.com member...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '.')..attacks on two pickup trucks ...bullets struck a semitrailer and an unattended sport-utility vehicle


His photo looks like many of the photos I see here on the "Peak Oil is You!" sidebar.

Every SUV thread contains numerous "shoot them all!" rants.

He fits the PO.com majority profile of young, disaffected doomer white male with little education and loads of angst.

Make note of who suddenly stops posting as of July 26th. :)

Nope, not a PO member, but very likely a KKK member. But I must admit I wondered where specop was that day. :lol::lol:

They also arrested his grandmother for obstruction of justice.

1. I am educated
2. I have no angst
3. I am not 400lbs and growing a shitty beard.
4. nobody likes to be sterotyped.
5. If you look like this guy, visit jenny craig and a reconstructive surgeon
6. Disaffected is not the term I would use. Annoyed to fucking hell with our government and people of the United States would be a better phrase to use..
7. I don't personally give a shit about peakoil, never have.
8. I like to cuss and am overly dramatic.


This is me, now why doesn't everyone else describe themselves, that way we can determine if we all fit a perticuler cookie cutter description.
