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?

I lived in Norfolk and Williamsburg for awhile myself.

From the way people are reacting down there, I would have to wonder where all the men have gone.

Either the fishing has gotten really good, or the men with balls have moved down to the Carolinas for better hunting and an occasional NASCAR race.

The sniper(s) have not struck at the same location twice.
Some of the classmates of the children these days are more dangerous than outside threats. Yet, when parent's send them off to school each day, they don't give their safety/well being a second thought.

Wonderful message, XLurk - and right on. At some point, we're going to have to figure out that we can't rely on someone else to protect us. We are all we've got.
