If there was a British loyalist sniper crawling around near Mt. Vernon, VA or Monticello, VA, near the homes of our great patriots, and sniping off little children, Negro (sic) slaves and White landholders alike, why there would be a mobilization of a civil militia. And even little kids old enough to 'aim low, aim small' would be stationed as counter snipes to take the turncoat terrorists out.
The founding fathers I think would be sad upon hearing of the wobbly-kneed, quivering, cowering response in the 2002 American public mindset as opposed to going on the offensive and taking these bastards out on sight.
There should be a bounty posted and a wanted dead or alive poster, even without description, for anyone caught in the act of sniping.
