This is like a really disappointing ending to a movie that was otherwise very interesting. Okay, if these guys they caught in Maryland actually are the snipers, which it sounds like they could be, I just don't get it. The sniper was so methodical about knocking off these people and not being detected, and then he just gives the cops a bank account that he wants $10 million dollars wired to? Gives them a bank account that they could attach him to and thus find him? Why didn't he just ask them to write a check? "Uh, yeah, you can just make that payable to John Allen Muhammad. M-U-H-A-M-M-A-D, yeah Muhammad with a 'U', not an 'O'. And when can I come pick that up?"

Okay, I'm against sniping and snipers and people shooting each other and whatnot, especially randomly, but I do appreciate a good story, and I am wowed by a person I guess who can show incredible resolve and not cruble or fuck up. And, you know, this guy could have been a legend if he really wanted to. If he hadn't been talking to the cops all this time, doing all this goofy assed extortion shit, he could have just disappeared and never been found! Could have left everyone wondering if he was going to strike again, leave an entire city in fear for who knows how long. I don't get it. Hmmm. I guess that's the difference between mildly goofy guys like myself (and probably you) and the sort of people who randomly shoot people. I guess if you're crazy enough to start wacking people then you're also probably crazy enough to do everything exactly perfect for what you're trying to do, and then to COMPLETELY FUCK IT ALL UP. Pinheads.
