I’ve been too blown away by the horror of the sniper story to post a lot about it (I lived for six years in Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the last killing in Seven Corners). But the Slacktivist has provided some grim perspective on the identity of the killer:
“…one thing we can be pretty sure of: the sniper isn’t a black man.
…. How can we be sure of that?
The killer’s vehicle is described as ‘a white, Chevy Astro van with a burned-out or broken left tail light.’
No black man could drive around for two weeks with a busted tail light without getting pulled over by police.”
Thanks to Evan, whose blog I’ve inexplicably not been reading, for the pointer.
