Picture emerging of snipers' motives
Expert: `Mission' was racial revolution

By DAVID LAMB
Los Angeles Times
CHESAPEAKE, Va. -- When John Allen Muhammad was convicted last month, it still wasn't clear what had turned a seemingly ordinary pair into a sniper team who, authorities say, staged 20 shootings across seven states, killing 15 people and wounding seven. "We don't know what made them take the final leap," a member of the prosecution team said.

But in the last week, with confessed accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo's trial here nearing its final phase, a clearer picture of the itinerant gunmen has emerged -- along with a possible motive laid out by Malvo.

The "mission," according to one of the many mental health experts who have conducted jailhouse interviews with Malvo, 18, was to incite a racial revolution over the "continued oppression of black people" and set up a utopian black colony in Canada that would be based on racial and social justice.

In August 2002, psychiatrist Dewey Cornell testified, Muhammad reportedly told Malvo that, "They were going to carry out a sniper plan, to start shooting people one after the other." No court testimony indicated why Muhammad or Malvo thought such attacks would spark a revolution.

In the months preceding Muhammad's comment, various defense witnesses said the 42-year-old Army veteran had indoctrinated Malvo into sharing his rage over white American society. He had taken the teenager on trips across the country to speak with blacks in slums and homeless shelters. He had Malvo listen to tapes of anti-American speeches, using headphones to deliver the message even while the teenager slept.

Malvo has said, according to court testimony, that he was put through rigorous training: Muhammad reportedly taught him how to shoot, gave him violent video games to play, lectured him on Islam, put him on a strict vegetarian diet laced with vitamin pills and globs of honey, and once tied him to a tree so the youth could prove his toughness.

In the end, mental health experts for the defense said, Muhammad owned Malvo's mind.

Dewey, who spent 54 hours interviewing Malvo, said the teen told him that "white people are devils." Malvo, he added, "came to believe there would be a revolution."

From the time of their chance meeting in an electronics shop on the Caribbean island of Antigua in late 2000, Muhammad and Malvo made an odd pair.

Muhammad was a handsome man who had a military bearing and hardly an ounce of fat on his 180-pound body. Malvo weighed 120 pounds, appeared younger than his 15 years and looked as though he belonged in a schoolboy choir. Muhammad was stoic, Malvo outgoing.

They did, however, share one significant quality: They were losers.

Muhammad's two marriages had failed, his Washington state auto-repair business had fallen apart, he had lost custody of his four children and, in 10 years in the Army and National Guard, he had not risen above the rank of sergeant.

And Malvo -- while a decent student who talked of becoming a pilot or an astronaut -- was by all accounts a troubled teenager. He shot stray cats with a slingshot, was abandoned by his father, beaten by his mother and bounced from home to home and school to school.

Someone was listeneing to the Beatles While Album backwards again...

The Race War.
It would start when a couple of black people from the ghettos would come up into the rich white neighborhoods like Beverly Hills and commit a series of atrocious murders. The white establishment would then retaliate and kill off many blacks, afterwhich, the militants; the Panthers and Muslims, would come out of hiding appealling to the white race, saying "Look what you've done to my people." This would cause a split amongst the white race, putting brother against brother, and a war would break out. A war that would kill off one third of mankind, the white race. The surviving Blacks would then finally reign over the land only to realize that they weren't qualified to do so because of their lack of experience. This is when Charlie and the family, having grown to 144,000 would reemerge from their underground paradise and rule the world.

To date myself badly, I believe Charles Manson went on his killing spree for basically the same reason.

Lunatics seem to be very much into race wars!!

Funny, someone posed the theory that they were using multiple shootings to cover their true target which was Muhammed's ex-wife...  Or did I hear that wrong?
