Possible serial snipers in CO, AZ, IL, MI, OH...??

[Daglord]

local authorities have been attempting to down play the idea of a possible connection between all these sniper shootings. But too many incidents of "broken car windows" and confirmed shooting injuries are leading investigators and the public to believe there may be a link.

And now, the FBI has been called in to deal with the situation.

HENRY COUNTY, Ill. (KWQC) – The Henry County Sheriffs Office is investigating reports of damage to vehicles in the rural Lynn Center area of Henry County that appear to have been caused by gunshots. In addition, reports have been taken from motorists traveling on township roads east of Rt 150 near the Edwards River. Officials say a small number of drivers passing through the area at various times have thought their vehicles were hit by a rock, only to later find what appear to be bullet holes in their vehicles.

you guys prob don't give a shit about this & rightfully so. just an update to something I've been following. suspect in custody.

leslie merritt was arrested tonight at a walmart (?) but I thought I heard he was trying to pawn the rifle (wut? dumbest shooter ever?). heard from another source that he had been shooting a handgun.

there was also a vigilante crew calling themselves the 'bolt force' patrolling the area looking for the shooter/clues. these dudes were decked out like blackwater. this shit is getting out of hand imo.

of course... the shooter has "anti american" views, is a member of various FB conspiracy groups & is a gun nut. his FB seems to confirm this: https://www.facebook.com/leslie.merritt.923

cue the "dangerous conspiracy theorist" talk...



*** no longer live feed, but there is the initial few hours before the inevitable narrative/spin kicks in.

- around -30:00 remaining, the father calls in & claims his son was @ work when the 4 shootings he is accused of took place (& of course that he son is innocent). military man. lock & load.

- same with mother-in-law, but just an emotional reaction.

- FBI had been following him all day. still not sure why that is. maybe he pawned this gun earlier, something matched up which led to ballistics test & the tail then arrest. fuck knows. still pretty hush.

* I just can't grasp the correlation between being "anti-govt" & shooting @ random cars on the freeway ?

or being pro 2nd amendment & pulling shit like this that is obviously counterproductive to your "cause" ??

or pawning the fucking gun you used ???

Don't expect consistency from crazy people. Hell, most sane people do plenty of irrational shit.

[Daglord]

yeah, crazy was the wrong word. dumb shit is more like it.

or classic case of FBI entrapment.

already claiming they have the wrong guy. claims he pawned his gun months ago. should be pretty easy to clear up.

leaning towards dumb shit, but skeptical...
