There were some guys of the middle eastern persuasion trying to set up a "school" in south eastern Oregon, that plan was squelched quite a while back. Although one never knows where "they" may be training or what of our resourses they may be using against us. Guy coulda been using a "borrowed" or improvised supressor and firing from inside the house, maybe practicing "working" with minimal detection by neighbors. One thing, they sure are tearing the crap out of that yard and the shrubbery. The gardener ain't gonna be happy.

Just remember guys that Washington has seen a population boom in the last decade. The area could have been BFE fifteen or twenty years ago...especially in that part of Tacoma.

Of course in Tacoma there is a LOT of gunfire and no one ever reports it.

The reason no one has seen the sniper is because he has been disguised as tree stump. The police are now rounding up "the usual stumps" for questioning.

When stumps are outlawed, only outlaws will have stumps!

By the way, if the FBI wants to come over to my house and remove the stumps, they are welcome. They are going to need a bigger truck to haul away all 25 of them.
