gas station... giving away free coffee w/ gas and a big verbal thank-you...because business had dropped off so badly

I was very deeply touched by the Guardian Angels standing on the road outside of some gas stations encouraging travelers to stop, that they would pump their gas. One of them was interviewed and he was a young Hispanic man. I find it really amazing that Americans, anyone, would step up to help out strangers and thumb their noses at someone who could kill them so easily. Americans are really an in-your-face breed when it comes to anyone curtailing their freedom, aren't they? Brings tears... and an enormous amount of pride and gratitude that I am numbered among them.

My thoughts are these:

- a wave of Al-Queda terrorism ignited, worldwide, in the past week to 10 days.
- virtually no clues exist in the sniper shootings.
- most psychotic killers kill at "closer ranges" - they tend to get "up close and personal" to their victims (Dahmer, Gonzalez, Henry Lee Lucas(sp)
- most "rage" killings occur in a rather short period of time, followed by the suicide or killing of the perpetrator.
- this sniper(s) are in a port town. Nearly all Al Queda cells have been discovered in port cities - Portland, Seattle, Tampa, D.C, NYC.
