Imagine this terror being multiplied by a factor of 10,000 when the Syrian “refugees” are admitted. Thank you Obama, our blood is on your hands.
Thank God!
Amish El Amish?
I drove that route about a half hour after this one happened. I knew about the shootings, but I was driving somebody else's truck...so I wasn't as worried. :)
One thing: there are so many rocks on the freeways in Arizona that being struck by something happens almost every time you drive. I've replaced two windshields already this year and have a good-sized chip in the third. People get used to it, so they may not always realize that an impact to their car came a bullet. This could have been going on for longer.
Gotta love the media...
Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since the first shooting.
How can commuters have been terrified for weeks?
