Al >I recall an old Boris Karloff movie And, what makes you think the shooter hasn't also been watching movies? Many people, including myself, think a great deal of criminal violence is inspired by Hollywood. >More likely they get donations from Iraq I know both of us were being sarcastic, but the "sniping" prowess demonstrated on innocent people in and around Washington DC is the particular "excellence" the military requires. No-one knows what the present shooting is all about. Undoubtedly it will be considered to be the work of a lunatic because society just will not accept that such deliberate anti-social activity can be the work of anyone but a lunatic --- or a "terrorist". Indeed, the last thing society will accept is that this behaviour is actually the product of the society itself --- in fact, the kind of violent, hateful behaviour which the society engenders and inculcates . I wouldn't be at all surprised if the shooter wasn't just a local high-school kid.
