Thread Name: BS: Terrorists Declare Victory in D.C....
Subject: RE: BS: Terrorists Declare Victory in D.C....
strange thread...I can't quite figure out what the topic is. Shootings? Terrorism? The Bushlet? Or just whatever folks have in their heads?
Most of those shootings took place within 5-10 minutes drive of my house, yet I never felt threatened or in 'danger'...Yes there is someone crazy out there, but randomness means I could get hit by a car as easily as I could be shot.

   All I know is, the media are sure hypeing this all out of proportion, with rampant speculation and interviews with people trying to evoke 'emotion'...there is a police investigation to be done, leads to follow, victims to help, and at the same time, life to be led.

If this idiot keeps trying this, he WILL be caught, but in the meantime, why psychoanalyze him when we have no idea who he is or why he is doing this? And WHY are so many people refusing to go to school or a restaurant? You can't shut down life when there is little pattern to the shootings.......

I think whoever it is will NOT come back and do it again in the same place, so I will go about my business as usual....
