You do not aim for hands, you aim for chest. Bigger target, bigger likelihood of killing or incapacitating someone... because he could still use his other hand, even if it would work.

that's not accuracy, that is dumb luck

I'd bet he shot more than twice; wouldn't it be funny if he dumped a whole mag on the place and they still didn't notice until someone found the cracks in the window?
that's probably what he did

If I had a scope that powerful, I'd be a peeping Tom, too

He stopped his car on Constitution Ave. and sprayed out 9 rounds from out the driver's window. 2 hit the White House, and the other 7 hit the sky. There were 2 drivers behind him who witnessed it all.

Hit the sky? There is a thing called gravity. Is this witness still looking at the sky pointing out where the bullets are to the secret service?

Conservative? What do you mean.that is a useless tag. Who has he spent time with? He said he is a modern day Jesus. That in itself doesn't make him, religious, or an Athiest. MENTALLY ILL? The pathology of an individual can be studied, if mom thinks he has a cold she would take him to the clinic. If she thinks he is overly obsessed with sex? for example , mothers typicaly rationalize male child behavior. That the way it happen a lot. I don't pretend to know his mental tag the he may recieve after a team of profesionals study him, in the manner in which they have all decided will serve their motives and advance their agendas. Susfice it to say , he is pathologically suspect but, as to the origin it might be our national social pathology. All we know is a warrant for arest was issued, and someone stashed an AK 47 in an abondon car

And the first place the secret service searched was the tents at the OWS camp in DC. What do they know though.
