Sniper

**BabsieGirl** · 12-01-2003, 01:02 PM

so what do you all think about the sniper?

I have to drive to and from work through the area this fella is shooting cars at random. No particular pattern.

The latest is the FBI thinks it's a kid who took ma and pa's gun and got the idea off the game grand theft auto. HOW SICK!!!!!

**I Are Baboon** · 12-01-2003, 01:06 PM

Ehhhhh...what sniper?

**BabsieGirl** · 12-01-2003, 01:09 PM

There is a kid out there shoot at cars driving down the free way. He's/she's been doing this since May. So far this month he's hit 7 cars and killed one lady who was on her way to a doctors appt. The lady driving missed her exit and he shot the car. How sick is this kid? I wonder how kids are raised these days.

And where exactly is "Swollsville"?

Was that before or after he listened to Ozzy Osbourne. Sorry for being so cynical, but I have a hard time believing that because a child plays a video game, listened to some lyrics that he/she didn't have the ability to know right from wrong.

**BabsieGirl** · 12-01-2003, 01:23 PM

LOL. Sucks right now living in Swolesville. It's really Columbus Ohio. It's all over the news. World wide/nation wide about this kid.

That's what the news is saying. I know what you're saying though.

Ohhh. I had not heard about it.

The Feds think it's a kid? Eh, what do they know? They originally thought the DC area snipers were a single middle-aged, working class white man working alone.

Understood ...

Unless the child has a mental problem, I just don't buy that argument. And for the sake of arguing, if that is how he go the idea, where were the parents. Another ... aw, forget it. I could go on and on about it.

Regardless Babsie, be careful out there.

**maniclion** · 12-01-2003, 01:31 PM

Maybe he got the idea from the other sniper case?

**BabsieGirl** · 12-01-2003, 01:42 PM

Could have gotten the idea from anywhere these days.

I agree with NT ...this kid is sick AND I too wonder about parents.

I am in fear on the way to work and on my way home. This is the main route home and the only route for that matter. I hug my kids and tell them I love them every day and make sure things are caught up with the house just in case. Sad leaving your home wondering if you'll ever return to your family and friends. Never do I go to bed angry. and I call family before I leave work and when I get home so they don't worry.

**maniclion** · 12-01-2003, 02:00 PM

I used to go hunting, by myself, with a 30-30, at age 13, I used to play violent video games, I saw movies with snipers in them and thought they were cool, hell me and my friends used to play sniper with paintball guns. I never even considered shooting at anyone with a real gun, because I knew how wrong it was. Whatever happened to throwing waterballoons at cars?

**BabsieGirl** · 12-01-2003, 02:02 PM

pfff...gets me. Wish I understood what goes on in those heads of theirs.

The game he is playing is: Reality

**gr81** · 12-01-2003, 05:33 PM

I am so tired of people blaming all of societies ills on TV and video games when by doing that they are aleviating all blame from themselves when they are in control of the media, they ARE the media. They are the ones that choose to show what they show, and what they show is fear. Maybe he got it from watching the local or national news programs which are more violent than anything. The fact is that I play GTA and I have never sniped anyone (although now I can think of a few people that could use it). Normal healthy kids don't play and then go shoot people, people who already have problems are the ones doing this shit. It isn't the TV or games or porn or anything creating the problems. Once again in the stupid society we focus on the apple when we should be focusing on the branch or the rots of the tree for the problem. Give me a break

**david** · 12-01-2003, 08:08 PM

First, I think the sniper thing is terrible. It's VERY sad for someone to die when not expecting it ie. sniper. Coward!

Please take care of yourself, Babsie!

Second, I agree with gr81. I wished I could blame all my actions of the past (when I was a kid) that appeared to be wrong or are wrong on Media, Movies, Music, games etc.

I don't even play the game and I think that's far fetched.

**TheGreatSatan** · 12-01-2003, 11:17 PM

But be careful anyway Babs.

**BabsieGirl** · 12-03-2003, 10:55 AM

[sarcasm] God what a camper, dude has no skillz [/sarcasm]

But yeah I hate it when the media blames this sorta stuff on video games / music / movies

here's an idea blame the fuck who pulled the trigger
or even the person who raised the dumb shit

**MikeKy** · 12-03-2003, 04:10 PM

Careful out there BabsieGirl....

**BabsieGirl** · 12-03-2003, 04:22 PM

I'm trying to be. I'm working until 6:30 tonight and that's usually when this person starts his phsychoness. They need to seriously find this guy/gal.

he fired at a school building for crying out loud. INNOCENT children!!!!!!! Two more were injured this morning up north near Toledo. One life flighted with a gun shot wound in his head, the other shot in his left hand.

I wonder how their brains operate.............................It's sad when you have to drive home wondering if you're gonna make it. What is this world coming to?

**maniclion** · 12-03-2003, 04:38 PM

Heres a tip. Lean the chair back in your car till your head is next to the support column, use it as a shield. Also drive really fast. I know I would.

**BabsieGirl** · 12-16-2003, 01:41 PM

I've been driving 85-90 every day..to and from work.

I'M FREAKING OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

MORE SHOOTINGS......................................... ..............ANOTHER ONE THIS AFTERNOON....................................

I NEED A BULLET PROOF CAR...

FYI----I LOVE YOU GUYS IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT

**BabsieGirl** · 12-16-2003, 01:44 PM

I'm sooooo about to cry.......It's going to be DARK AS HELL ON MY WAY HOME TOO..........

**butterfly** · 12-16-2003, 01:48 PM

Sheesh Babs

**butterfly** · 12-16-2003, 01:49 PM

Oh and we LOVE YOU TOO!!!

**BabsieGirl** · 12-16-2003, 02:18 PM

Thank you BF.........Right now, I'm thinking of my children and wondering if I'll see them again.

**senimoni** · 12-16-2003, 02:44 PM

Babs.....how about taking 33 to 70 iso 270??

**BabsieGirl** · 12-16-2003, 02:51 PM

yeah but I don't want to touch 270...

I was thinking...

33 to 104 which turns into Alkire, which dead ends into Georgesville Rd......

**senimoni** · 12-16-2003, 03:14 PM

33 to 70 doesn't use 270 or does it......or are you referring to not using 270 on the west side?

Yeah that works too!!! I can't imagine having to drive 270 south right now.
