Hmmmm. The man they've arrested for the sniper shooting lived in Tacoma not to far from Fort Lewis and was in the Gulf War. His step son went to high school in Bellingham. They're both in police custody now on the east coast.

Wheeee. Or something.

NO GUACAMOLE!!!

Yeah, that house is right down the road from where I work at.

It's kind of strange - just a few weeks ago, the Tacoma paper was talking about how immune the West is to all that is happening. The writer was also making a joke about certain sports people from Seattle who seem to think Washington is on the other side of the world and just recently got indoor plumbing. And now all this happens. The suspected sniper is from Ft. Lewis and Tacoma. So, we aren't immune afterall.

I would never have thought that we were immune. I mean, it isn't as if there haven't been psychos from this area before. We have a decent tradition of psychos and serial killers.

What's odd is that the news report I just read said that the suspect was in the Gulf War but was not a part of the sniper group at Ft. Lewis. Confusion reigns!

It's all speculation right now I'm sure.

Yeah, this guy was stationed at Ft. Lewis and served in the gulf war. But to what capacity. One of the many news stations that like to speculate on everything, interviews a Vietnam War Era sniper who stated this guy wasn't a sniper - he was just a killer. He was too close, not doing things right.

We might not ever know for sure.

You don't have to have been trained by anyone as a sniper to pull of being a sniper. I could use a sniper rifle. I certainly haven't been trained as part of any sniper group.

I know we're not immune. The papers just seemed to think that since our building weren't attacked and our residents are being shot at.

Of course, our airplane company is closing up shop since airlines aren't buying new planes because people aren't travelling because someone elses city's buidlings were attacked.

No one is ammune.

*nods* Yeah. There is that line, though. You can't be naieve about it, but neither can you let the fear rule you.
