Wow. Already? Seems like he's played his best appeal card, but surely there'll be something that keeps it from going ahead.
 
Willing to help ...

I was driving home from somewhere up north when word came that he'd struck again - someone at a restaurant right off 95 outside of Richmond.
My daughter worked at a restaurant right off 95 outside of Richmond. Freaked me the hell out, I couldn't reach anyone.

I'm willing to help, too.

It was in Ashland, VA. That whole time was horrible. I don't think I went outside for 3 weeks.
 
At the time, I lived about a mile and a half from the Home Depot in Falls Church where an FBI employee was killed by that guy. I went to the same middle school where the asshole shot and injured an 8th grader. And now I live right in the middle of all the places where the asshole started his whole spree one day.

I'm pretty anti-death penalty, but I want a whooooooole lot of vengeance extracted. And I can't say I feel too sorry about what's going to happen to him, sad to say. Domestic terror indeed.
 
I was covering the Saints when they played the Redskins up there during the sniper's activity. I called an old Navy buddy to meet for dinner and brews and spent the whole time I was waiting in front of the hotel pacing back and forth so he couldn't get a good shot. I wasn't that worried there, but you bet your butt I got the fuel option with the rental car for the first and only time ever.

That said, I'm against the death penalty. Let him watch bricks by himself for the rest of his pathetic life.
 
Make him sell season tickets for the Nationals and Wizards.

I remember living in NOVA and one night walking out of a grocery store when there was this old man zig-zaging acrosss the empty parking lot.

Crazy times.

You had a better chance getting killed on I-95 than being shot by these two, but it still made people crazy.

I remember students could not take a recess for the first two months of school, and on the day they could finally go outside and play, it rained.

I will never forget you posting about that, in the earliest days of this board...and everyone telling you to get in the house and stay under the bed.
 
And don't get me started on the top-notch investigation.

White guy in a white box truck?

How about two black guys in a POS Caprice Classic with out-of-state plates?

I will never forget the night a truck driver spotted them at a rest stop.

That rest stop is now closed for renovations. I make a point of pointing out that place every time we drive that stretch of road to D.C. or Blatimore from PA.

That was a Ponderosa Steakhouse I've stopped at that exit many times. I was living in Vienna, VA at the time. I am shameful, yet probably correct, at running and ducking from many locations that were near interchanges. It was ****ed up. I lived near the Pentagon when 9/11 happened. I just wanted everything to be over. I hate that period of my life.

Now THIS is someone who deserves all the rancor in the world when he dies.
And his son/accomplice should have taken the needle too.

I agree with that. Perhaps it's personal, perhaps it was the coverage, perhaps it was too scary after 9/11...but **** them. **** them. They terrified everyone in the DC vicinity. You can't compare it to 9/11, obviously. But it was the last ****ing thing that city needed. **** them. Rant over.
