Or moose. I wonder if people in the DC area are happy with the rampant affirmative action at their police departments.

Yeah except the God given defense of antelopes is their speed and numbers...and antelope havent voted representative antelope that pass laws hobbling some antelope making them easier targets.

Personally think the media labeling this killer; the 'DC Sniper'. . .diminishes the real truth of this; while offering this killer a 'distinction' of sorts.

He is first and last a terrorist; just another person who has chosen the lowest of roads for his personal empowerment.

"Imagine how these gas station employees must feel working there every day......"

. . .actually had not thought of them at all; but yes, cannot be easy.

Do think about how it must be in the mind of every person, stopping for gasoline that this could happen, and yet feeling somewhat safe and confident that it would not happen to them and then. . .

Apt description. I've sat at waterholes in Africa and watched the various beasts approach for a drink. Wildebeasts, zebra, different antelopes. It's one of the most dangerous parts of their day. Sometimes they're so paranoid they just say "F--k it!" and don't drink at all.

"...After hearing about Friday's killing in Virginia, Ms. Glazier promptly drove to a gas station near her home, reasoning that the sniper could not cover 30-plus miles so quickly.

"The first thing I thought ... was that I should go buy gas because he's not right here," Ms. Glazier said. "Which is horrible to say..."

Why is it 'horrible' to describe a field expedient method for reducing the odds of being shot by a sniper?

She has stumbled onto a reasonably good method for reducing the likelihood of being attacked, and she regards her reporting of it as a "...horrible thing to say...".

I'd bet the rent that she's a liberal, and that she's wracked with a mindless, free floating guilt about any number of advantages or lucky breaks that she enjoys.

Hey Glazier... If what you're doing prompts you to use a word like 'horrible' to describe it, you MUST stop doing it now. It's simply not fair for you to employ a method that puts you at a competitive advantage over others like this.

Pin a target on your blouse and stand somewhere very still in that urban hell-hole you live in, for as long as you can, every day.

Only in this way will you be able to take a first step toward purging yourself of the horrible horrible-ness of the unfair advantage you have stolen from the people.

With a half a mill pricetag on his/their head,you'd think he/they would be feeling like the antelope.I'd take a weeks vacation if I lived in DC and do me a little"hunting".I'd be setting up manequins for decoys and see if he/they take the bait.

One of the greatest assets this murdering puke has is the oblivion in which most humans live.

[CyberAnt]

This thread's title has me stunned!

Could this by any chance be an animal activist?? Using people as the target to get people to see how it feels to be the hunted??? Very interesting title.

Here's my take on the sniper: I think he is an Iraqi or Iraqi sympathizer who was upset by what Ari Fleisher said about getting rid of Saddam with "one bullet". There has also been so much publicity about the white truck that he has probably switched vehicles by now.
