This is what we get for embracing Divorce and Single mothers, it is causing the extinction of real men in this country.

O brother what the 'F' does single or divorced women have to do with these schools closing? And why does this terrorize your masculinity ? what would you have the Country to do in place of embracing those (gasp) immoral distasteful women ..... perhaps we could stone them and you can keep your manliness....

your statement has to be one of the most paranoid one I've seen........ women are to blame for wanting to protect their children geez .... Go Figure

This is actually good news. Well, at least, it won't hurt our feelings in the least, and I hope that people keep their kids home from school, stop shopping, stop spending, quit flying, protest by the millions in the streets, and shut this economy down, unless and until government gets the message that its primary responsibility is to the safety of the American people, and not to the God of Political Correctness, and realizes that it must INTERN THESE GD RAGHEADS!!!

The American people should be better than this.

Sad but true. Some people think we should just hide in our closets until they come for us.

Isnt that what happened in Nazi Germany?

Let's take a survey of the children in that neighborhood and see if they still think that way. I think they'd have less bravado.

Asking them is the only way we'll know, isn't it? And only then if their parents haven't scared them. I am afraid the kids have now been set up as targets by the media, if the sniper continues to follow that particular pattern.

I *think* my daughter would want to go to school under those circumstances. She's gone to bed early because she's sick tonight, so I can't ask her - and we don't live near the sniper, so she's really not affected and therefore not a representative sampling.... And I can't tell you what I would do in similar circumstances, because I haven't been in similar circumstances.

I think we may have more and more terrorists - and I don't like the trend this is setting. It is one thing to be afraid, and another to be controlled by fear.

maybe,just maybe, they got a threat to schools.

[nicmarlo]

. . . so should parents keep their kids indoors until they are 18 . . .

You are completely over-reacting to point of absurdity. As I've said, I'd keep my child home tomorrow and see how she felt and what security steps were being taken for the following days.....and where she'd be with that emotionally. If I believed that she'd be safe and she wasn't emotionally upset, then off she'd go. But I would want to know steps were taken in the area for hers and the other children's safety. The sniper might still be in the area, ready to go to a school in this neighborhood....

[BuddhaBoy]

You make a lot of stupid assumptions about what I posted. I dont blame women for wanting to protect their children. I blame pussified men for not simply ignoring them, and getting on with life.

Reality says that life isnt fair, nor is it safe. If some kid gets run over tommorow by the water truck because he stayed home from school, do we blame the terrorist for that too?

Men used to be better, and that is the point I was making.

You know, you've got a very good point!!

[sinkspur]

It's too bad that anyone who dares to speak the truth is now labled as some kind of hater.

You're not a hater; you just can't deal with women in a mature fashion. You use them like toilet paper.

Smart women would do well to steer clear of you.

[nicmarlo]

and still quite another to use children to prove how brave and invincible we all are.

Quote "maybe,just maybe, they got a threat to schools."

Yes...perhaps something is going on that we just don't know about. That would make more sense of this. They did not close schools before...so after thinking about it...one would come to the conclusion that something is going on that we don't know about.

Thank you, I am glad to see that someone understands what I am saying here.

Why don't all the Dad's/Uncles/etc. of the kids in these schools go and surround the schools as the kids come in the morning, and go in the afternoon? (It's a thought.)

[RightWhale]

What if the sniper is never caught?

And if the sniping spreads?

Homeschooling is one possibility, but it isn't for all since many would go uneducated.

[Elenya]

There's no new threat that makes schoolchildren more vulnerable tomorrow than last Friday.

How can you be so sure? Do you have inside info?

It's an EXCELLENT thought. I'd go one further, too, if I had my druthers.

[mrsmith]

Hmm, I can understand closing schools a day if it takes that long to put the defense in place, and I assume it does, but I don't see the logic of what they're going to do. It's like they just pulled their "things to do about threats to schools plan" off the shelf.

The logical defense against a sniper is a perimeter defense.

And I think this guy, whether he's the same one or not, is gonna be very sorry he ever came down here.

Look, I lived in Richmond and the Richmond area for over four years.

When cockroaches invaded my apartment building (in a complex in northern Chesterfield county that shall remain nameless) I went to the hardware store and bought the proper tools needed to deal with the threat. Then I DEALT with it. (and subsequently moved out after my 6 month lease was up).

There are a LOT of good patriotic gun-owning MEN in Richmond.

Why couldn't a few dozen of them take a dang vacation day or two, and GUARD THIER OWN CHILDREN's schools for the next five days - or however long it takes?

Is this brain surgery or what?

[nicmarlo]

Yes, they have all consulted their crystal balls; everything is safe.

If you think you can ignore half the population cause you believe you are better than them then your more of an @ss than I thought. I'll bet you talk tough on here cause your wife wears the pants.
