I’ve kept from commenting on it for a couple reasons. One, no time. Two, not really hitting home I guess. But now it is. The string of shootings in Montgomery County, Maryland and D.C. and the shooting Friday right down here in Fredericksburg are all related. I don’t know if I’m more relieved it’s all connected or not. It’s good it’s connected in that there aren’t morons running around trying to be copycats (yet). And it’s good she lived down here. Also, the guy’s getting sloppy, which helps catch his ass. Sloppy in that he didn’t kill her and also that Route 3’s a pretty busy road at any time of day. If he’s going to take a shot in broad daylight on a busy road, he’s increasing his chances of getting caught. Good. I hope they find the son of a bitch and beat the crap out of him.
And they found the body of nine year old Jennifer Short. She was from southwest-Virginia and disappeared when her parents were killed. They’re questioning a couple folks about it. What a tragic case. Again, I hope they catch this guy and beat the crap out of him. And then beat him some more. Fucking child killer.
I’m sorry, I’m against the death penalty, but these are the kind of things that make me rethink my stance. Anyone who kills a child is sick and deserves to be beaten to the edge of death, if not beyond. And for someone to snipe people, hunt them, shoot them from a distance like it’s some sort of game, Christ, that guy’s out of his mind. And a coward. Shit, if you’re nuts and feel like killing some one, grow some balls and try it hand to hand so the other person can kick in those new found nuts and then beat the shit out of you.
Arugh. People piss me off sometimes.

CNN News Gettin’ Jiggy With da Jive Talkin’
President Bush: “America must assert its global leadership. It cannot stand idly by in the face of an imminent threat. And it will not.”
Blitzer: “In essence, Rudi, what tha president is saying to Hussein is ‘Check yourself, fool.’ Republicans praised tha president’s resolve as off tha chain, and said America should smack Hussein upside tha head. But Democrats aren’t down wit dat. Know what I’m sayin’, Rudi?”
Bakhtiar [cross-talk]: “So, Wolf, it sounds as if the U.S. is staying all up in Saddam’s grill.”
Blitzer: “Straight up, girlfriend.”
