Trend or Isolated incident ?

Recruiting stations are constantly under attack. Usually its just vandalism, arson and robberies, though, there was the bombing in the NY station recently. Individual recruiters have been stalked and attacked and had their homes and vehicles vandalized.

Being in the Military is dangerous buisness, overseas and at home.

They should be allowed to be armed.

"probably had political and religious motives for the attack."

Or just bug-nuts insane?

[Kokopelli]

It's an act of terror on American soil.

Muhammad's Six Convictions Upheld in Md

A Maryland appeals court affirmed sniper John Allen Muhammad's six Montgomery County murder convictions yesterday, saying he and his accomplice subjected the Washington region to "three weeks of inexpressible terror" in 2002.

Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel from Maryland's Court of Special Appeals, Judge Charles E. Moylan Jr. dismissed an appeal filed by the Maryland public defender's office. Muhammad, already sentenced to death in Virginia, was tried and convicted in 2006 in Montgomery, the epicenter of the attacks.

At the outset of the opinion, Moylan wrote that the fear that gripped the region in October 2002 was a "fear as paralyzing as that which froze the London district of Whitechapel in 1888," when five prostitutes were slain by a serial killer. Moylan concludes 152 pages later: "Jack the Ripper has never yet been brought to justice. The Beltway Snipers have been."

Well if recruiters aren't being attacked by leftists then its terrorists trying to shoot or bomb them.

[odysseus]

Probably "lone wolf" type behavior. I am sure they are checking him out fully right now. Terrible thing, RIP for the victims and condolences for their families.

I bet some dip**** gang-banger who "found Islam" in prison and thinks it is a good idea to go and kill people. I really can't stand these wanna be fake "so called muslims"
