Seriously, what good does being terrorized do? You embolden the terrorist and encourage them to do it more. Live your life and give the finger to those who would take your liberty!
.......These were his last words before the snipers bullet drilled a hole through the front of his forehead.
I would rather those be my last words as opposed to "hep me! hep me! eeeeeeeeeeeeek!".
....and when he cried out help me, help me, eeeeek -he lived happily ever after.
I guess life or death is a personal choice.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
Yes, it's a personal choice. But, the aggregate of our personal choices will determine whether or not the terrorists win.
What terrorists? We have a sniper, but I haven't read any connection to terrorism in general. One kook does not a national war make. Why not let the LEAs hunt this kook down? Isn't that their job?
If there's a rapist in the area, should women be encouraged to walk through dark allies - so the rapist doesn't "win?"
Get a grip man!
