Chambliss said people's reaction to the sniper is "completely understandable" but still overblown. "People are used to lightning striking and they don't get scared every time it rains -- and they're much more likely to be hit by lightning than they are to be shot by the sniper," he said.

These words upset me. Overall the last statement may be true, but how about the lightning statics since the beginning of October in the Va, DC, Maryland area.

Faulty logic in that statement, lysie. We know how to avoid being struck by lightning. Very few people would go stand on a golf course in a lightning storm.

Similarly, I think quite a few people avoid gassing up in places that are likely spots.
