responding to "-I can't believe that you don't feel a slight twinge of apprehension while you're pumping gas, BillD--"

it's interesting...I feel a lot more apprehension when crossing the street, or driving on the Washington beltway, or walking durnig a thunderstorm...I know there is one additional 'problem' out there right now, but since this idiot is shooting from a distance and evidently using different vehicles, I can't see anything I can do to avoid him, except stay home. There is nothing in particular to watch for, and the odds of him picking ME is tremendous!...as in millions to one!

I really AM in more danger from red-light runners, who I see every day!.....This person IS sick and needs to be caught and dealt with soon, but changing my habits will make NO difference. (I watch for 'white box trucks', but so do a million other people, and I doubt very much THAT truck is still out there)

I don't mind taking precautions when I can see why, but this is not as bad as suicide bombers in Israel where 'not riding the bus' can help keep you slightly safer.

The sniper will make a mistake, or he will just stop.....and how long will we keep schools on alert and refuse to eat in outdoor cafes if he does NOT do anything more for awhile?...The leaving of that taunting card tells me that he craves attention and will brag, try again, or something that will get his sorry ass busted!....I do hope his aim is bad next time...too many good people have been hirt....
