I just find it more than passing strange that despite numerous reports of spectators pointing the shooter out to authorities, that the shooter allegedly pointed his rifle at a police officer who checked him out, and the counter-sniper team was "surprised" when he opened fire.....well, some may attribute this series of failures to bad luck, poor planning, or incompetence. I see something far more nefarious and frankly extremely disturbing. I'll stop here since I've already been chastised for being too political.
