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.
