Subject: RE: BS: Terrorists Declare Victory in D.C....
Well, as I live here, and as one of the people who died was killed less than mile from where my Father lives, and as I do not watch *any* TV, or read much news at all, I can tell you I am *still* living with fear.

It is not the media that is scary here, Bobert...

It's the fact that this guy (or guys) are managing to hit and hit and hit again, and that it appears to those I know in the know (cops and military folks) that these "hits" are being done with military precision. Like a trained sniper would in a war.   

If this guy were a kook, he'd do what the kooks do...he'd walk into a single place, and kack off as many people as he could, and then either kill himself, or get shot by the cops. Trauma, surely, but closure in a fairly short amount of time for those living in the area who did not lose someone close to them.   

But no...this guy (or guys) is *not* that kind of insane. He's another kind of insane. The cool and steely kind. The intelligent and wily kind. And *that*, my friends, is why I am afraid for nearly *everyone* I love, as they are nearly all right here in the middle of it.

Come stay with me for awhile...No TV. Just daily reports from your friends and family that someone else a mile from where they live, or at the gas station they that *very day* bought their gas, or at the shopping center they *always* go to shop, or who was *known* by someone you know, is now dead. Then you'll know for certain if it's the media or no.
