Vice News Documentary: The Beltway Sniper in his Own Words- I, Sniper

Worth signing in to view.

This happened in Southern MD, DC, and North VA when I was in high school.

Everyone was VERY freaked out.

Yes, that’s the rifle they used.

Not a $10,000 paper weight.

A $500 XM-15 with a $350 Eotech that you could not give away in today’s Gucci tactical environment.

And about $100 in ammo.

You read John West’s Book right?

Lethal injection was too easy for the POS. Should have done the kid as well.

  Agreed. He should have sat in jail for 60 years and been given the best medical care.

    Curious as to who took down your post about John McAfee Dead in Spanish Prison. Just saw it was not available.

      I deleted it because I may have to issue a retraction(on my own volition). Some people I know think McAfee was a good guy. So I’m gonna do some more research on the subject.

        Thanks for taking time to answer. I am no expert on McAfee. I have seen him on some short, wild videos and have not read/researched much about his life. I heard Matt Bracken say Sunday, he believes he did commit suicide/his opinion. Thanks for all you are doing. Stay on ’em.

        I believe he did too. McAfee went from Playboy to Nobody looking at hard time in a rough prison. Also, narcissistic personalities, especially wealthy ones, do not fair well in environments they cannot control, like basic military training. They quit within days or hours. They MIGHT last a week or two. Prison is a completely different story, you can’t quit except for one simple way. Apparently McAfee had sleeping drugs in his system. Which is used to put you to sleep while you stand with the noose around your neck. You fall asleep, slump down, and slowly die of oxygen starvation.

I was at an auto parts on Rt 1 in Ashland, Va when he gut shot a fella at the Ponderosa Steakhouse during his rampage about .5 miles from us. They were some sneaky bastards shootin out of the rear of a car. We didnt hear the shot due to being in town but figured he snuck down a service road beside Walmart to position for the shot. Damn cowards!

  They aren’t cowards. That’s how wars are fought.

No matter how you feel about these losers, you have to respect the outcome of what they did. Now for all you mouth breathers that have no reading comprehension, I didn’t say you have to respect WHAT they did. I said respect the outcome of what they did. They shut down all of DC with 14 rounds. And if they weren’t retards they would’ve gotten away with it. Just from memory, the cops were looking for white male/s in a white van or box truck. Law enforcement had zero clue. And anybody that doubts the lethality of the 5.56, well 14 shots taken 11 dead. Not too shabby for a pipsqueak round..

  The police knew nothing. They were changing the story and description every day or two.

  Spot ON !

Shows the “effectiveness” of “assault weapons” bans pretty clearly. Unthreaded muzzle, no bayonet lug, pinned non-retractable stock, and probably a 10 round magazine (not that mag capacity matters in single shot “shoot and scoot” urban sniping).
I am wondering whether Mohammed took the idea from IRA snipers, hopefully later episodes will say.
I have read West’s book. Highly recommended. The chapter on a remote controlled sniping platform will get the wheels turning. Drone warfare of a different type in this age of cheap computing and hobbyist robotics.
- Johnny Paratrooper June 29, 2021 at 18:54
  
  Not only cheap robotics, but imagine if you made a disposable sniping machine for Mosins. Even if you missed half your shots on target you still won the day decisively.

    We are also at the point when people are making 100% 3D printed guns, complete with DIY rifled barrels. Similarly it was not that long ago when $100 could buy you an AR barrel and a bolt, which would be all a person would need for an effective 1 shot disposable gun with some 3d printed additions.
