I have a question. Maybe some of you in law enforcement can answer.
In the case of the DC Sniper, (this movie presumeably, i haven't seen it) and our recent killer in SC (location ?), are these types of killers refered to as serial killers? Is this what Son of Sam did? I always pictured serial killers as getting thier hands dirty and being more involved (knives, strangling, etc.).
Are there different categories of serial killers?
That barrel looks like it belongs on a .22 . Will he even break their skin when he shoots them?
"Dead Diary: I normally hunt squirrels, but today, I've decided to make things interesting…and shoot hot chicks…"
Happy Friday Everyone
What laws is Hussein Obama gonna break today ?

I heard an interesting lecture recently by two psychiatrists who compared a serial killer to a mass murderer.
They stated mass murderers intend to die at the end of the slaughter, so make no plans for escape nor do they cover their tracks whereas serial killers have no intention of getting caught. There are also categories "organized" versus "disorganized" — the "organized" ones usually are hard to catch. Your premise that serials get their hands dirty is interesting, however, the DC Sniper and Son of Sam killed with guns, the former from a distance. Interesting question. Maybe there are psyhrinks on this board who can answer.
"The Pope meets the AntiChrist face to face"
"ROME—President Barack Obama’s concerted efforts to woo the Catholic Church – and its voters – get a lift Friday as he has his first face-to-face audience with Pope Benedict XVI.
In advance of the session, White House officials have been emphasizing the president’s strong affinity for the Catholic Church. And Obama himself has spoken of the church having a “powerful” impact on his life, even though he is not a member.

ooh… maybe we'll get a good laugh and he'll get the "Pelosi" treatement?
As seen on Drudge:
The Bush years: "Glad to have you here miss, it's good to see our young people getting involved in world affairs."
The Obama years: "Hey Nick, over here! Check it out, baby got back!"
Cool
Georgia is not listed
Woohooo !
Hussein Obama is gonna take MJ's place
Keep an eye on your kiddies parents

Serials usually have intricate plans to not get caught. They have an urge that they just can't fight. The mass murderer or spree killer usually acts out of rage and\\or revenge. And they tend to off themselves before getting caught.
The serials have a plan that will keep them free to do it over and over again. The spree killer attempts to do the most amount of damage in a relatively short period of time and then takes his own life to deny justice and avoid having to explain himself.
Then again I'm not a professional, but it's a fascinating topic albeit a morbid one.
Maybe he bludgeons them with it…
"Sears Starts Christmas
Sales In July"
By Luke Funk
MYFOXNY.COM – How early is too early for Christmas marketing? Apparently it's not July for Sears Holdings Company.
The company owns Sears and Kmart. It has opened an online holiday store and Christmas boutiques at hundreds of stores.
The company hopes to nudge consumers into starting their holiday shopping early and use the retailer's lay-a-way plan. Lay-a-way plans allow shoppers to pay for items over an extended period before they actually take the merchandise home. Sears reintroduced the program year-round in January.
Being the scrooge that I am this is gonna suck !

Anybody else think that the guy on the poster looks like the singer for Fine Young Cannibals?
WoooHoooo !
Want to keep up with Sarah Palin but just don't have the time? Have we got a website for you. http://Www.conservatives4palin.com is like a Palin news clearinghouse. It's been around since January, but we just came across it recently during the big news from Palin about her plans to resign as governor. C4P, as the site is called, isn't a draft Palin site, though most of the info relates to her politics. And it's not all adoration—it runs much of the national press on Palin that it comes across.
Has any one seen the picture of Obama checking out a young woman's backside?
Two to one, someone will accuse the Conservatives of staging that photo. It has been front and center on Drudge Report.
I wonder what Michelle thinks of that?
as far as movies called 'Sniper' we'll take Tom Berenger's iconic flick of the same name.
Even though Billy Zane is in it as well…
Michelle is going to be the good dem will not say a word__Michelle knows how her bread gets buttered
Obama is definitely not the Antichrist.
The Antichrist will be able to work without a teleprompter.
Michelle would probably think, Wow that used to be me.
I check out young womens' backsides all the time.
I was thinking of the "Private Conversations" similar to Hillary's "Private Conversations" with Bill.

A .22, placed right, is all you need.
ABC (The All Barack Channel) is in top of things. He was simply looking down to see where he was going. Given how he has handled his first few months in office, we all should know better than that.
Do you mean the lamp throwing incident?
I wonder if there was only one incident, but yes I was thinking of that.
To me, a serial killer is someone who kills one person after another (in serial), and a mass murderer kills multiple persons all at once or closely together. Jim Jones was a mass murderer. John Wayne Gacy was a serial killer. In the case of those who tamper with products and cause multiple deaths by poisonings, these (IMHO) would be mass murders because the victims aren't selected.
The organizers/perpetrators of mass murders do not always intend to be caught and held accountable, and some serial killers eventually get lazy and trip themselves up (some say to latent guilt or remorse). This is why I think killing in serial or "in parallel" (mass murder) is a better way to differentiate.
BTW, I am trained in Crime Scene processing, but these are still just my opinions.
the sniper's best protections are distance and stealth. A .22 isn't going to provide distance.
In Obama's case it should be "Keep an eye on your parents kiddies"
The bullet size of a M-16 is .221. It matters more in the charge of the bullet, not the size of the bullet.
I laugh out loud every time I see that picture…. and I can see Michelle giving the look of death to Obama when he gets home… I imagine he will age 10 years after that…
*Look of death is that look she gave Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a few weeks back while in Paris (pic was on Drudge for a while)
Yeah that might be plausable if he wasn't blatantly looking off to the side instead of down… :/ *lol* ABC is a joke.
Lord, I know that some people start thinking about Christmas around this time (I know I do, but it's out of habit from when I was a poor college student and now a poor newly wed… ) But Sears is being quite ridiculous.
Have you watched the video? It's obvious that Obama is not looking at the hot chick, but rather down at the steps in front of him.
So he's not a masher.
He's gay.
Here in the DC areas, we actually refer to the snipers with any one of a number of names–many of which are not printable here. I find it interesting that they are most often referred to as terrorists, rather than either serial killers or mass murderers.
Christopher Marlowe wrote Shakespeare? Genius playwright, shadowy spy . . . .
The greatest story never told by Hollywood.
Christopher Marlowe, genius playwright and shadowy spy, fakes his death to avoid being sent to the gallows. Accused of atheism and heresy, he goes underground, protected by his handlers in Queen Elizabeth's government. Soon after, works attributed to Shakespeare (who prior had no record as a writer!) begin appearing. Written by whom? Christopher Marlowe – the greatest Elizabethan playwright when he was "alive." Marlowe, with Shakespeare as the willing entrepeneurial frontman!

And from Emmy-winning filmmaker Mike Rubbo, this clip from his critically acclaimed PBS/Frontline documentary on the theory above, Much Ado About Something.

It's from 1952

I saw the video and no question about it, Barry is behaving himself. The photo is causing lots of discussion but the video tells a more accurate story.
Time to move on.
yeah, but you gotta admit Jimmy, it was worth a laugh for a while… (I haven't seen the video version yet.).. but it'll get passed over by all the comedians, just like usual.
Nah, it's not Marlowe. Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford wrote the works attributed to William Shakespeare. Check out Joseph Sobran's book, Alias Shakespeare and Charlton Ogburn's, The Mysterious William Shakespeare: The Myth and the Reality.
Poppycock! Everyone knows that Edward de Vere, 17th earl of Oxford wrote Shakespeare! No shoemaker's or glovemaker's son could have had the education and knowledge of court life to write the plays, poems and sonnets!
Harumph!

The Valley Swim Club is racist because they don't want Black kids in their pool. But I wonder why there are no White, Hispanic, or Asian kids in the Creative Steps Day Camp.
On the other hand, enjoy … while Christmas still is legal.
Peggy Noonan has LOST it! If you want your stomach turned, read this latest missive from her as Peggy throws the temper tantrums of all temper tantrums against Palin. It's just one jaw dropping bitchy putdown of Sarah from beginning to end. But the killer is the unbelievable charge Peggy makes – "The elites made her." Yep, you read Peg right. Elitist Peg who's never done anything but sneer, snark, put down, kick and stab Palin's education, dress, religious faith, education, etc. because it is so common now has the appalling nerve to say that Palin owes elitists a thank you???? If Peg were Pinocchio, her nose would be smashing into Argentina by now.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12471698462081935...
Yeah — and he didn't bow either.
Peggy Noonan has lost it. Read this appalling stab in the back editorial from her in which she sinks her knife into Palin's back. It's — it takes your breath away. But the worst of it is Peg's stupefying statement that 'The elites made (Palin)'. Yes, you heard me right, that is exactly what Peg said. Lord, if Peg were Pinocchio, her nose would be smashing into Argentina by now.

Who ever wrote Shakespeare . . . well, he was Shakespearean.
TR – thank you for the link. You're right – it's awesome. And very well written.
well, it's .223 but who's counting…
The .556 NATO round (aka .223) has insane wound ballistics, which is what it's all about. It hits, then tumbles- and nastiness ensues…
As far as the rifle Arthur Franz (veteran of many 'B' sci-fi films, including the classic 'Invaders From Mars') is an art shop simile; looks like the front sight apeture of an M-1 carbine and a Remington
700 stock, but who knows…
excellent point…
We have a dear friend who was convinced the 'Bamster is Mephistopheles incarnated. We pointed out that Satan's chosen would probably be, ummm, a little brighter, quicker on his feet.
So does the make TOTUS the voice of the antichrist? Seeing it's most likely David Axelrod, no…
Don't underestimate the potential damage a bullet can do just because of it's size. Jon-Erik Hexum actually managed to kill himself screwing around on the set of "Cover Up" when he shot himself in the head with a blank. You see, the blank contains a little wad of paper to hold the charge in until fired and that little wad of paper came flying out of the gun barrel and hit his head. It just bounced off, didn't penetrate, but the resulting hydrostatic shock pureed his brain.
Put a .22 round in the right place and it will kill someone.
Here's a guy the right would like to see behind a sni per's cro sshairs: LEVI JOH NSTON!
The passionate and monothic Palin-follower view back in August 2008: "Hey, sometimes te ens get preg nant. But he's a hunk! So what!"
Johnston claimed that in December he heard Palin talking about "how nice it would be to take some of this money people have been offering us and just run with it, and saying, 'Forget everything else.'"
To be fair, Johns ton is probably being coached to come out and be as controve rsial as possible for his own gain. But then again, sometimes the most pa inful wo und an e nemy can inflict is to hit you where it hurts: e.g. where its the truth!
So what's the passionate and monothic Palin-follower view on Johnston now, I wonder?!
I'm sure Michelle Obama is going to punish Barack way more severely than anything the right could throw at him for that.
but either way it wasn't Wm Shakespeare- too busy being the middle ages equivalent of Montgomery Burns, eh?
Y'know, I've only read a little on the authorship controversies, but I'm content to believe that Will himself is the sole author, if only because it pisses off the bluebloods who don't believe a mere commoner could 'get' them. This and the "who was Jack the Ripper" debates will still be going on when we've finally colonized the moon.
it will be an enduring controversy, one suspects…
Never seen it, but anything with Adolphe Menjou is worth a look.
No question about it, I enjoyed myself and had a good laugh however, it is what it is. Over. Sorry.
Noonan has always been an insufferable, snotty elitist RINO…
So it's no surprise she despises Sarah, as does the almost as insufferable Kathleen Parker. Noonan is SO mannered- listen to her speak sometimes- and such a Beltway creature. None of these folks have a clue about what Palin has tapped…
"but wait…
no…
he was…
everyone does…
the angle…
But Sarkozy…
Hey, shut up!! That girl from Ipanema song is pretty good, huh?"
I mention in an open thread that I suspect Kurt Loder would fit in over here, and a week later, he's here! I get results, baby.
(OK, he's only linked in the headlines, but let me have my brief moment of triumph.)
Am I a liberal that's scared to death of Sarah Palin? That's over-stating it a tad.
but i'll tell ya what: I'm scared of ANY politician that acts proud to be intellectually INCURIOUS. For goodness sake we all should be!
Noonan is darned tootin!
we should all be scared of ANY politician who acts proud of the fact that he or she is intellectually incurious.
Speaking of aging, did you notice how right after the inauguration he had grey hair showing? Lately I have not noticed it.
Did someone politely point out the people would not be fooled by the false coloring to look more "experienced" since given the growing time for hair it was obvious that was a few month's worth showing, or did Michelle simply tell him to knock that nonsense off?
Obama likes watching games on TV and going out for hamburgers. George Bush had a repeating book reading contest with Karl Rove, cleared 95 in 2006.
Yup, good point.

Peggy Noona is darned tootin! That article does America and the future of the Republican party a big fat favor.
You people make me sick!! It was Prince Albert Victor and you know it!!
uh huh. that must be real hard with books like "The Pet Goat". HAAHAAAHAAHAAAAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
Yeah, right. Follow the link and actually look at some of the titles, then we will see who keeps laughing. (Answer: The stupid person.)
So that is why they stuck him in the can. Interesting.
I followed the link. I believe the story. Bush is no dummy, okay? I admit that.
He just played one on TV. HAAHAAAHAAHAAAAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
(man. I just keep firing off these cheap shots. Can you tell I'm looking at the clock right now? almost quittin time here in SUPER LIBERAL California!)
She will make him get on top and do some real work for once?
What was the reason so many people were demanding the resignation of Pelosi a few weeks ago?
what?! Hey man, were the 24/7 cable news culture here. You can't expect us to remember or care about something that long ago! WEEKS!
test
wow, that's a real naug hty comment from you eh?
Said like a true liberal Democrat! I say run Bobby Bryd for POTUS next cycle….
It's late in the day, but I just read the Newsweek article declaring Obama more informed about the Catholic Church than is the Pope.
Written by a Kennedy cousin.
I had no where else to turn. What more can I say?
I think the community from which the Creative Steps Day Camp is drawn is pretty much all black.
It was Kosminsky! As soon as they took him to the asylum the murders stopped.
Serves you right for reading Newstweak at all.
Tom Berenger's "Sniper" is far superior.
I haven´t read Noonan in many years. Lost faith in her judgement, not because I disagreed with her.
So true. But it was a Drudge headline, and I failed to resist.
No more health care for you!
(channeling Soup Nazi)
Kevin Costner movie "Mr. Brooks" depicts this — is interesting but not great movie.
I know: not a very scientific reply.
I read Mr. Sobran's book!!!! And I greatly respect Sobran.
Can we agree it wasn't Shakespeare??
I like Pinksen's Marlowe's Ghost.
In his defense, it´s genetic. You don´t always have a say in where your eyes go. Doesn´t matter if you´re happily married or 85. Or so I´ve heard. So I don´t blame Barry for that. But his rotten ideology, rotten methods, rotten pals and rotten policies, they are by choice.
Marlowe, although a cobbler's son, was educated at Cambridge – got an MA (btw, they wanted to deny him an MA due to excessive absences, but Elizabeth's inner circle intervened, since Marlowe was part of Her Majesty's Secret Service). He was a very good Latin translator early on. Theology major. The guy was VERY bright. And he pioneered blank verse in the plays written under his (Marlowe's) name. This is also a major sticking point with me. The Shakespeare plays are largely written in blank verse!
And he could crank out plays quickly. Look at how quickly he wrote the sequel to his smash hit Tamburlaine!
DeVere's dates work against him . . . and whatever he wrote under his own name was marginal.
What Marlowe wrote when he was "alive" was VERY successful and highly regarded.

Not that I could change your mind . . .
None of us can resist the power of a Drudge. I think I read somewhere that Stonhenge was built by Drudges. That´s some ancient mojo.
Laughed Out Loud
when I read this – but am just a tad slow in letting you know.
Built Stonehenge – those Drudges continue to mystify.
