...and a Marine who helped rescue Pvt. LYNCH in Iraq was shot by a random hooded gang member while on leave in Long Beach two weeks ago..? Random..?

Gang members in Long Beach do not wear hoods. I lived in LB for nearly five years. There were gang shootings all the time -- but they never wore hoods. Hoods are part of the Islamic culture. 'Nuff said.

I read recently here on FR that several of her rescue team have since died, and the speculation was made that they were being hit. Wish I could recall the thread.
