I honestly don't get your point. If my kid was killed by a sniper rather than in a car accident, I would be angrier and more vengeful, of course. But I cannot understand why the perceived danger is any greater because of this murderer.

Unless, it's the constant barage of news coverage????

Remember the antrax panic? More people died in the last 12 months of measles than antrax yet you had people who refused to open their mail for months out of, what I see as an unresonible level of fear. Now you have people in this thread saying we shouldn't go shopping because of fear. People are 'shuting down for awhile' out of fear. Fear of what? Of a risk that is less likely than that we all face everytime we get into a car?

This unjustified level of fear is painting a giant bullseye on the entire country by telling anyone who wants to tie us up in knots just how to do it. They don't need nukes or bio weapons. Just a dozen "snipers" planted around the country and the media will whip this nation into such a panic that we won't be able to think straight.

I take that "we" back.

I REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR

I do not recall seeing anyone on this thread stating that we shouldn't go shopping, but I am reading rather quickly.

Maybe you are as well...

Recognizing that shopping areas, gas stations, and other crowded areas of opportunity are being targeted is not the same as cowardly behavior, in my opinion.

What is your problem?
