while we discussed the sniper on tuesday, colin asked me if when i thought they'd catch him.

"they won't catch him off guard," i replied. "the only way they'll get him is if he wants to be caught."

so now they think they've got the suspects--and it looks to me as if that's exactly how it played out.

i'm not trying to take anything away from the police forces involved in the investigation--they had to piece it all together, after all--but i find it a bit too much of a coincidence that they find the suspects about an hour after chief moose tells the media that the sniper wanted him to announce that the suspect has been caught. they were sleeping in a car. these people are smart--they would have known that events were unfolding, so why would they be sleeping in a car in such close proximity to the area? if they didn't want to be found, they would have been busy driving away.

it's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds over the next few days--but there's my theory. take it as you will.

in less pressing matters, a repeat of "the west wing" gave me the opportunity to participate in house viewing of "the bachelor." oh my god--how hilarious is that show? it's along the same vein of "real world," since we just sit there and bash the people on it...hehehehehe.
