I know this board is mostly entertainment stuff, and this is a scary topic.. but still, I am up late and feel like typing.
There was another shooting tonight in Ashland, VA. I am home for fall break right now in Richmond, VA. The higways here were shut down for awhile tonight because of it. Ashalnd is 20 minutes away. I used to go there all the time to get parts for my Mustang. All the other shootings were in the D.C. area, and my Dad lives up there. I've been to most of the places they mention on the news. This is pretty scary stuff. Whoever is doing this is totally a psycho. That tarot card that said, "Dear Mr. Policeman, I am God." !!??!?!? What the hell!??! I can only imagine the fear that went through the policeman's body who found that thing. It is creepy just thinking about it. Who would do something like this? They better catch this dude. I admit I usually don't get this involved in news things like this, but this is hitting pretty close to home for me.

me too there, buddy. i'm from Fairfax and so almost all of the shootings in virginia have been within a few minutes of my house. it's scary cause my family is out every day doing stuff and everything keeps getting shut down around where i live. so it's really scary. i'm definitely with you on this guy getting caught. it's just ridiculous.

i have family and friends up there. this sucks. i love the east coast. i was planning on moving there myself but this shit is crazy. i'll stay here and have my car broken into by 12th ave crack heads all day.

Check out BrianW's website. He had an interesting statement about all that. There's a link to it on his personal profile.

I actually took down the blog for a bit, since I'm going on vacation, but I realized I'm going to have email/internet access all next week and I can still update, so the blog will be back up shortly. Thanks for visiting!

Anyway, what I was about to add to this thread I pretty much say on my site so I'll refer you to that if you care to read it.

i know what you mean dude. this shit is SO scary. i don't know much of the details...are these just random sniper attacks? any specific targets? blondes? fat people? i hope they catch him soon, and what about the policeman? i don't keep up much, sorry.

Completely random, apparently, and he's killing/wounding all races and sexes, and even ages.

goddamn thats fucking scary and psychotic.

I really don't know that he's psychotic by the strict definition... he seems very cold and calculated. He's picking these people at random because it throws off the police. They can't predict who he'll kill next. The only possible order to all of this seems to be that a lot of the murders have either taken place at a gas station or a shopping center with a Michaels. But these could merely be coincidences, and my god is there a better illuminated place at night on earth than a gas station? It is nonetheless scary and I hope he's caught soon.
