We were all way off when it came to our guesses on the DC sniper asshole.
Me: I did say it had to be two guys, so I was right about that one. However, I believed they definitely were insiders, say, LEOs, CIA, etc. How else could they completely evade a dragnet that wide. How could they infiltrate, do their business (13 shots fired, 13 hits, 10 fatalities), and exfiltrate into thin air? I was impressed with that performance. I also thought they were using a bolt rifle and might be using sewer/underground systems to get away.
Garandman: He thought they were also using a bolt rifle but figured they didn't really know what they were doing (aka no formal training) b/c they were using .223 caliber ammo.
My Ranger sniper buddy: Was not surprised they were using .223 and pegged the "shooting from inside a vehicle" idea. On the other hand, he was convinced the perp(s) were LEOs or somehow involved in the investigation. He figured that was the only way they were getting away cleanly.
After they were caught, we chuckled to ourselves that it was just another black guy with a gun.
