Lisa, I'm familiar with EV and archy and I don't think they mean any harm. Perhaps they just don't understand what those of us that live here have been witnessing.

While it's true one person has been killed by this sniper, and what, close to 30 shootings we may know of, I don't think all FR folks have been keeping up with this since it only pertains to those of us who live where the shootings have been occurring.

FYI - we have a shooter, using a hand gun who likes to shoot randomly at cars on freeways and country roads and at houses too. He has managed to kill one elderly woman who was a passenger in a car, that is only one time where he managed to hit a person and when he did it killed her.

The rest of the time it has been hitting cars and trucks and shooting into peoples houses. He is in a pretty small area and it has been going on for some time. Those of us that live and have to travel around here do so cautiously and would like to see him caught.

Thanks for your input.

I actually do have a sense of humor, a pretty good one I like to think. I guess my post was a knee jerk reaction to being on the phone this morning calling to check to see that my child and other family members were home and safe. The fact that noone else has been injured or worse is a miracle.

Just wondering, I wasn't on FR at the time of the DC shootings. Did people make inappropriate, lame jokes during that situation as well, and was it acceptable?

Forgive me my insensitity.

My comment was on poor writing by so-called journalists, not on the horror that folks up there are going through.

They had one like that in Arkansas back in 1979, too. The only woman he killed was a woman reporter from the UPI statehouse bureau in Little Rock, in an excellent position to have heard some of the stories floating around about the just-sworn-in governor, and the woman he had raped in the Little Rock Doubletree hotel when he was Attorney General- Clinton was his name, as I recall. But the governor directed the State police to carefully investigate the *random sniping attacks, the work of a single crazed shooter* and no arrest or conviction ever resulted.

Any former Cinci politicians run for any higher office lately?
