Democrats will be upset that its not a foreign terrorist -- guess they'll have to throw their "see what Bush's policies have done for us.." script away on this one.

Contrary to the local media, I have not been "gripped by terror" because of this guy. He's rather a second-rate sniper. It has made me watch overpasses while in the areas the shootings took place, though. I hope they round him up quickly.
Note to self: While committing a crime, do not drive a car with distinctive properties, such as being bicolored!

I Just about forgotten all about the guy during my daily commute around the south side of 270 from 62 to west broad... Whatever his motive, hardly working on me. No terror instilled in me. My thought was "if God wants me with him, the loser sniper will tag me, otherwise, no sense in being "gripped with fear" like the local stations think we all are.

He may be from West Virginia where such coloring is the rule not the exception. >:)

I've got this guy's license plate number on a sticky note and it's going on my dashboard tomorrow.

I just had to run a quick errand, and I put my sticky note on the dash already! It's funny... I automatically started looking at license plates when I was out. This guy will be caught soon. I heard on the radio they already scoped out his neighborhood. Said he was seen in the area today, but that's the first day since Saturday. The house he lives/d in has been up for sale for a while, like 6 months or so.
