He is said to have had particular disdain for car transporters. The man was arrested at his home in the Eifel region of south-west Germany early on Sunday morning. Police said he possessed a stash of weapons and 1,300 rounds of ammunition.[/quote] [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/25/autobahn-sniper-road-rage-shootings-germany]Source (The Guardian)[/url] That would be terrifying, especially on the Autobahn
Surprised he didn't kill anyone in 700+ shootings
I'm like 90% he's hit that point where it's more of a hobby than road rage
[QUOTE=cebceb44;41179889]I'm like 90% he's hit that point where it's more of a hobby than road rage[/QUOTE] Sounds like he's just completely comfortable with the concept of hurting people.
[QUOTE=download;41179865]Surprised he didn't kill anyone in 700+ shootings[/QUOTE] He once hit someone in the throat. So he almost did.
Wait.. 700+ shootings over 4 years? You would think this investigation would have been done sooner. People getting shot and swerving off of the road isn't normal... in Germany at least.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41180293]Wait.. 700+ shootings over 4 years? You would think this investigation would have been done sooner.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I mean... sure it's hard to get a license plate in the heat of the moment, but you'd think that with over 700 shootings, someone would get it down.
[QUOTE=yerer;41180309]Yeah, I mean... sure it's hard to get a license plate in the heat of the moment, but you'd think that with over 700 shootings, someone would get it down.[/QUOTE] Probably hard to tell who the shooter was on the Autobahn, being as, you know, it's cars going fast and I'm fairly sure they were drive by shootings.
this is why we need to allow cars to own guns in self defense
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41180293]Wait.. 700+ shootings over 4 years? You would think this investigation would have been done sooner. People getting shot and swerving off of the road isn't normal... in Germany at least.[/QUOTE] I think it has been under investigation for some time now, has already been in the news pretty often in Germany.
Victims only noticed the bullet impact holes after their long journeys most of the time, so it was hard enough to even get the position from which he attacked. His primary targets were the big car carriers where you wouldn't even feel a small 9mm (the largest ammo type used) bullet hitting the hull. And those who got their windows shattered were too distracted to check for license plates.
So he was driving on a speed-limitless motorway while using most his attention to shoot at other fast moving vehicles and he didn't crash? Germans CAN drive.

762 is 7.62 7.62 is the standard NATO rifle round One of the guns that shoots 7.62 is the H&K G3 H&K is for Heckler and Koch The Koch brothers are part of this, and they framed an innocent man for it.

[QUOTE=cebceb44;41179889]I'm like 90% he's hit that point where it's more of a hobby than road rage[/QUOTE] It's like that one game. Slug bug. But instead of hitting someone, you shoot at them.
I dont blame him, If i could, I would pull out a gun on all of the drivers along the autobahn in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
762 individual counts of attempted murder. Neato.
In Russia this would be considered normal.
*Fuck how do I embed videos* I found it appropriate for some reason.
-snip article ninja'd me-
So.. seven hundred counts of attempted murder plus one count of aggravated assault with a weapon causing serious bodily harm, plus all the firearm-related offense counts. Yep, he's fucked. And good riddance.
made me think of this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wMa_t5cBgY[/media]
[QUOTE=Best4bond;41190926]I dont blame him, If i could, I would pull out a gun on all of the drivers along the autobahn in Euro Truck Simulator 2.[/QUOTE] maybe it will become a mod or expansion pack
I hope he gets 762 charges for attempted murder and/or reckless endangerment of life.
Okay, at some point this had to stop being interesting for him and start being part of the regular routine. Change gear, change gear, turn signal, change gear, shoot at someone, change gear, murder a prostitute...
