There's a lot of powerful people that jane's pissed off not just RJ.
That's What Ray haffner told teresa and van pelt, warning them as friends.
meaning that RJ is nothing compare to those powerful people (tiger tiger)
i think Haffner can't be RJ, his kindness to teresa doesn't fit the RJ character. he knows too many things and he's close to visualize and the tiger.org, and more,  he doesn't seem to be very interested by RJ.

this is a good show a very good show, anyone can be RJ

when Rj will be revaled, if he will be revealed we will see him differently and he will then play his real role.
we have been manipulated by this show, before the liste of seven was revaealed, each time we saw macallister haffner or smith we thought they were idiots, but know we almost fear them, altought they're acting the same
If the show had ended at season three,, it could've also been a perfect end (at the time) : PJ had his revenge on RJ in a wonderful way, the show was already written, but since CBI ordered more seasons, at least three, they had to come up with something. and it was well done.
They had to keep the enigma of RJ and come up with another thing more powerfull for the rest of the show.
I made a post few days ago, and i really think that RJ is really Timothy carter ans was killed by PJ, but it still one of many possible theories. and the way that haffner is minimizing the role of RJ, made me stick to my theory.
in the next épisodes we will see a Young actor but in who's role.
he could be maccalister, haffner and Pj when they were Young, that leads to nothing.
And we also see Pj gathering the suspects and there was an explosion.
I think PJ knows that RJ is not one of them but he wants to know why RJ led him to them.
after all it was well played by RJ to tell Loereli to let slip the handshake thing.
So Pj would want to know what is the connection between them and RJ or what do they have in common, (tiger tiger) and (visualise) . what would they tell him? why the explosion. although i think it will explode but not at the same place where they are. ithink rigsby and van pelt will be the victims of this explosion, for more drama, they were too happy that something must hppen to them.
enought wrting for the moment,, i'll tell what are they going to say to PJ before next episode.
comment please.

This not a full theory just some observations combined with some thought.

I believe the tree doted tattoo is a red hering and based on a misinterpretation on janes part.

Watch the scene closely from the time when they start rushing towards the PI till jane gets there.

We get to see the tracking including the Sac PD we even see a police car seemlingly rushing towards the scene and we see the cop arriving in his car.

All this is creating the illusion that we know what actually happend. We are led to believe we tracked the cop from the call until he reaches the scene. We see the tracking, we see his car and we see him arrive. In reality we don't know anything about the cop before he arrive at the scene. We don't know whether the tracking signal showed anything real, neither do we know who sat in that copcar and where it was heading. But our brain combines these three possibly unrelated images into one coherent story. Seeing Cho Rigsby and Van Pelt relax as soon as the cop arrives is subconciously pushing us further toward trusting him. We trust who our friends trust.

When he arrives he comes in holding the gun in his right hand (the one with the watch) and he then uses his left trying to stop the bleeding. Also notice how the breathing of the PI gets more hectic as soon as he arrives.

When Jane arrives the scene looks almost the same as we have left it, this leads us to believe nothing relevant has happend in the meantime.
But there are a few changes. The cop has switched sides now using his right hand to stop the bleeding. Also if u look closely the pool of blood arround her head apears to be much larger than before.
When Jane leans forward to ask the PI: "who did this to you?" we get to see the policemans left arm. Just above his wrist we can see a red spot, that seems to have the form of a red triangle.
Notice that the PI only says: "red tattoo on his left arm."

Jane than sees the 3 dots on her shoulder and asumes she wanted to disclose the nature and position of the tattoo, when infact it could just aswell be that she only wanted to point at her own left arm.

We have to be skeptical about following Janes assumptions:

"Red John bugged the office!"
"Red John killed the PI!"
"Red John has a three dotted red tattoo on his left shoulder"

These three are not facts but Jane beliefs or assumptions and there could all three be false.

Why doesn't Patrick just hire Sherlock. Boom! Red John won't only be caught but humiliated at the same time :)

In S3E3 check Visualise symbol , mostly shown in backgrounds an on t-shirts of visualise members  "A ONE EYE" 

Again in same episode,Bret stiles speaking people , at the minute 10.35 he says 6 dimension (666) symbolism, used also in S6E1 

Again in same episode, Stiles says to Jane ,at 10.42 "Many policeman is visualise member" ,speaking about how he learnt about identification of the member Cecilia's death

Jane met a young Redjohn in the carnival, with a tattoo on his left arm. Redjohn runs to the carnival after killing 2 dudes on the Visualise farm. Bret Stiles once told Patrick that he knew his father, Alex Jane. Bret Stiles knows Redjohn. Redjohn knew Alex Jane. (Rosalynd Harker is the dying girl Patrick cons with his father)

Patrick knows Bret Stiles is Redjohn's father now. That's his leverage. Jason Cooper once said "The police never took reports from Visualise seriously. (25 years ago)" Visualise make the "Tiger, Tiger" group to combat this problem. Redjohn grows up to become the leader.

Brett Partridge is what Redjohn called himself after taking over "Tiger, Tiger."

Brett = Son of Bret Stiles
Partridge = "Tiger, Tiger," he's a big William Blake fan

So, Patrick plans to lure out Redjohn, by threatening to kill his father Bret Stiles next episode.

1. Bob was shot 7 times (I counted) not 6 like stated in last episode

2. Bertram's name in the recap was spelt gail and not gale

Red John is not Kirkland's brother.  Some people are saying that the hand shake between Bob Kirkland and PJ was actually with Michael Kirkland (Lorelei has already said that PJ and RJ have shaken hands).  

If that was true then the first time PJ met Bob Kirkland, they would have shaken hands again or at least Bob Kirkland would have introduced himself again but all other times they meet each other its like they already know eachother.

(Same idea also applies for Theresa since Bob has met her many times aswell).
