Just for the record, I think it's a combination of two things that make him the target - one, he's a democrat, and his connection to the Clinton's and Janet Reno is guaranteed to cause an instant dislike of him among most freepers ;0) ... and also the fact that the frusration with the sniper makes him a convenient target...

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes... of course, I wouldn't have wanted to be in his shoes when he was a chief in Oregon either ;0)

Thanks Chad, I knew you were ok. Hey, I have nothing good to say about Democrats either!
Listen, even if the guy IS in "over his head"...what should he do, quit and go home in the middle of it all? It is up to someone else "above him" to tell him they'd take it from this point forward, He is not making these decisions on his own...if someone else was needed at the mike, someone else would put them there. Evidentally, warts and all, the "sniper" is responding to Chief M., tragically though still murdering along the way. Maybe "they"'re just afraid to change it.
We're all upset, we're all frustrated, we'd all like a piece of the beast that is evil personified, killing and threatening anything that resembles goodness. I just don't want to attack imagined lesser Americans stuck in the middle of it, even if they are Demorats. Some things are bigger than all of us...aren't they?
