Re: [ZION] DC sniper

2002-10-23 Thread Geoff FOWLER
I am glad that your mother listened and then harkened to that prompting
she received. The best we can do in a situation like this is to pray for
our families, the victims and their families, and especially for the
sniper (or snipers) - that they may come to their senses and realize the
horrible crimes they have committed. I pray that the perpetrators will
be caught soon.
 
As for theories, I used to think that this was a terrorist act, but now
I am not sure. In fact, I was convinced that there were perhaps more
than one team involved, striving to create fear and panic in the Capitol
and surrounding areas. The ransom note, however, has thrown me. I don't
know what to make of it - whether it is legitimate or whether it is a
decoy.

What do you all think about the DC sniper?  Anyone have any theories on
it?
I'm not sure what to think except that I'm just sick about it.  My
parents
and one of my sisters live in the area...I grew up there...I'm just a
WEE
bit worried.  On the other hand, I know about eternal families and that
if
anything ever happened, we are sealed as a family.  But I'm still
worried
about them.  My mom only does shopping now at a secure military base;
she
figures she's a lot safer there (side note: two weeks ago, on the day
the
shooting happened in Manassas, she was planning on doing some shopping
there and a distinct impression came to her to not go, so she didn't. 
It
was that afternoon that another shooting happened in the area where
she
would have been).  My sister and her roommates only go out when
necessary. 
When she buys gas, she starts pumping and then ducks (she lives in
Fairfax).  

What do I do?

Don't worry. They will catch him soon. A lot of people are watching and
those who know the sniper may catch on that something is wrong and report
it.

By the way, did you know that the FBI employee, the woman at the Home Depot
store, was LDS?

Stop watching TV news and get on with life. I'm serious. There are risks
everywhere, but look at the numbers. How many people live in Virginia, DC and
Maryland? How many have been killed? The odds of you getting hit by this guy are
a) probably far less than being killed by lightning; and b) certainly no higher
than on a normal day in a big city centre.

I'm trying to be calming -- not dismissive. Hope I'm going about it the right
way. Terror only works when people are in terror. It's like suffering from
chronic pain. You learn that you can't make the pain go away, but you can make
the *suffering* (which is your reaction to the pain) go away, although granted,
it's not easy.

I didn't know this, but I do know that when the woman vaccuuming her van
was killed, the news said she was a former nanny, married and a recent
convert to the Mormon Church.

Hmm. Maybe I've got my wires crossed. The one I'm thinking of worked at the time
of her death at the FBI (which doesn't say what she did earlier), and she had red
hair. Does that fit in?
