* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Tunney claims that, according to the Constitution, a black only counts as three fifths of a person. The only argument made against this is that a subsequent amendment makes this no longer valid. In other words, this actually was the case at some point. What the Constitution actually says is:
-->Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
** This clause did not allow the murders of anyone who isn't a "free Person", nor would it have applied to a black living in New York simply for being black.

Kincaid wonders why the sister didn't call to warn Tunney, but Kincaid points out that the gun was unloaded -- Tunney was probably taking it to be dumped. From the phone records, they learn that Mary did call Tunney -- twenty minutes later. They theorize that Allen Bradley delayed Mary somehow.

Logan drives after someone running away from the victim and almost runs him down, driving him up against a wall -- he was a mugger.

The FBI unit says that the killer is speeding up; two weeks passed between the shootings of Hector and Ruben, two days between Ruben and the latest victim. The spokesperson for the unit says that the shooter will look normal, have trouble with personal relations, and get an ego boost from killing during the police search. They deduced that the shotgun was an old gun (they say if he had bought a new weapon, it wouldn't be a breech-loading twelve-guage), so either he or his father's a hunter. They estimate his age to be between 35 and 40, contrary to the old woman's (Ms. Whitney) guess of 30. He probably has a grudge against the victims. The FBI is investigating the market, but Van Buren points out that all the victims are minorities, so it could be a white supremicist. On the way out, Van Buren says they're putting together a large force to patrol the neighborhood. Logan says to make sure they look like locals.
