I haven't been following the sniper situation too closely, but inevitabley have heard the news reports and read some of what is printed in the papers.

I find it fascinating that the sniper is basically working his way through the suburbs surrounding Quantico, almost as if it, or they, are taunting the FBI.

Clearly the gunman is highly trained and skilled. It also must know the area well, to have executed so many people without a trace.

It's the randomness of the shootings and the tarot card that remind me of the Son of Sam case.

In that case, authorities in New York now are fairly certain the murders were committed by The Process, a satantic cult that they believe committed crimes across the US from coast to coast, and even traced members down to Altanta a month prior to the child murders decades ago.

The tarot card is a taunt, however, it may shows a link somehow to mysticism or occult. Cards, wrongly used, which will bring bad consquences to the abuser. I also think the child victim was to make the pattern appear more random.

I have spent years reading lengthy profiles of serial killers. First person accounts, direct interviews, expert theories. I find it morbidly fascinating as many other people do. We are so repulsed by their actions, we are driven to try to understand WHY, why would you so carefully and viciously take a life?

This one though, is unique in that it gives the killer no contact with its victim. It doesn't give the killer a chance to revel in that power over its' prey before executing. And killing, is all about power.

I think this killer seeks more than power over his victims. I think it seeks power over the area and nation that it perceives it is instilling fear into. The reward for this killer is the media coverage. National attention.

I use "it" to refer to the killer, because it is not worthy of being addressed with a human pronoun. It is just a sad little man, who was a failure through life and couldn't get a hard on. A person so pathetic and powerless that people completely ignored him and mocked him because he was not human.

He was. Just. Nothing.

He is still nothing. A day after they find him, he will be forgotten. Unremembered. Doing life with a limp dick and getting raped by pedofiles in jail because he isn't a man without his gun. And he can cry himself to sleep calling for his mommy, and wake up screaming "Who's your Daddy?!"

I hope he reads my journal.
