Just in case you didn't know John Muhammad DC shooter dead

[SA Friday]

Just cuz I'm bored right now and for no other reason, a Muslim fighting a Jihad is called a Mujahideen, Arabic for Holy Warrior. There are various spellings for Arabic words and names using the english alphabet, so you will see a variety of spellings for the same thing. It's problematic to convert from a non-english alphablet to english regardless of the language. It's so bad for the various Chinese dialects and caligraphies that most DoD and DoS agencies use a numberic representation for names.

Nobody really knows what his motive was. Cover to kill his Ex, writings while in prison before trial rambled on about Jihad, he made comments about kidnapping kids(?), bla bla bla... He was a sociopath.

Wood chipper...

I was going to ask the same as DOC, because I remember the shootings, but didn't post on boards like this at the time, so I never heard anyone blaming Islam for what he did. Thanks for the insight Friday. Did he actually kill his ex-wife?

[DOC]

Woodchipper!
Its not like its to late. Someone has to claim the body.

If only they would have had an assault weapons ban all those people would have been saved. Oh, wait...

No. This was one of the angles the investigators took in the investigation and they tried to get it into court, but the judge wouldn't allow it as they had no proof of it. His ex was the one that got this idea going from her interview with the cops. She cut him off from his kids.

All of the shootings could have been done with a T/C Encore with a .223 barrel. That's why you don't hear the shootings brought up in the Anti-douchebaggery propaganda.

What kind of gun WAS actually used? It was before I was into guns, so all I remember was that it was some deer rifle or something?

I don't remember what it was specifically but based on the (crappy) pics/vids I saw I'm guessing an R700 but long range rifles aren't my expertise so someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

They used a Bushy XM-15.

Was it? Then the media used the wrong 'stock photos' when I saw it. Imagine that.
