Rooster7 11 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 As you no doubt are aware, a sniper has been picking off folks at random in the DC, VA, and MD area. He has committed nine murders in less than two weeks. It is a very unnerving experience to be living around DC these days. I ask you to pray for the millions of people who do live here. In addition to the normal pressures of life, we now must contend with a sniper who kills for fun. His youngest victim was a 13-year-old boy (who is still fighting for his life in Children's Hospital). People are afraid to go to the gas station or to go grocery shopping. Pray for a full recovery for this young boy; pray for peace of mind for those who have to live in this area; and pray they catch this guy soon. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Not to be argumentative but neither my wife nor I find it unnerving. Disturbing but not unnerving. If he shoots one person a day, you more likely to win the Lotto than get shot. Now, I'm not wearing a shirt that says, "Shoot me!" but I have been buying Lotto tickets.

red feather 10 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Thoughts and prayers have been sent regularly that all remain safe and that this loonytune sniper gets stopped soon and hard. YIS Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 If he doesn't get stopped the hard way, I doubt that he'll see much jail time at all. His doctors will proclaim that he doesn't know right from wrong, his parents will be blamed and society will take the ultimate blame because he was kicked out of college for cheating. He'll go to a mental hospital, lie to the doctors and then be out again, "cured," in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites

Rooster7 11 Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 Don't let up now...Looks as if God is answering our prayers...The purported evidence seems to indicate that the snipers have been caught. No matter what anyone else may say, hundreds of thousands of people in the DC, MD, and VA area are feeling great relief today. Praise be to our God. Link to post Share on other sites
sctmom 11 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I hope they have the right people so all of you in the D.C. area can rest easier. Our prayers are still with you. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I am so happy for you and Yaworski as well that you guys have one less menace to worry about (I hope) I would also remind us all to still pray, while I am no psychic, I would ask us all to pray for those who will be murdered tonight, whether in the DC area or not.
