Today my wife and I did a drive around to most of her "normal" shopping areas. The purpose was to do a "safety assessment", specifically sniper assessment.
Yeah, I know, I had the tin foil hat double wrapped.
Anyway, we put a number on the various locations, a high number, 100, being safe as possible and a low number, 0, meaning never go there.
Surprisingly, most areas received pretty good marks but there were a few that she won't be visiting any more...at least not without me dropping her off directly at the door and picking her up the same way.
America feels for you and we are heartbroken that it has come to this and running into schools from the bus. If they do have something, they should put the minds of Americans at ease. Why didn't the press ask if the person they had that was very promising lead was still promising? Oh, I know, inappropriate.
You are at a greater risk of being killed in a car accident while driving around scouting "sniper safe" shopping locations than you will ever be from this sniper.
We need to get mentally tough, like Israelis or Brits during the Blitz. Next year there may be 100 snipers, what then? Hide under the bed?
