Trouble in the Capital Don't dare stop for gas Sniper's in the bushes gonna shoot your little ass. Cops are searchin' high and low Police Chief feeling vexed Kids afraid to go to school Worried they'll be next. Roadblocks on the highways Stopping every van Sniper's lining up his shot, Hit the head again.

It's a bad poem, but at least you don't scream about this sniper character being a coward who knows justice will catch him. You get some points for that. Some. How much do we bet it's a CIA agent doing some after-hours practice?

I invite both of you to buy gas with me at the Manassas Sunoco; I'll stay in the car.

Suddenly I'm very glad not to be in Washington DC. Or Maryland. Or Virginia. May Chief Moose (who has the best cop's name ever) be successful soon.

Never-the-less, living in the neighbourhood can't be much fun just at the moment.

the poem speaks truth... fear seems to have gripped the areas surrounding these attacks. But, people shouldn't be afraid of this poor excuse for a human being. I live in Richmond... but I'm not afraid... I wouldn't give that p**k the satisfaction :o)

it's long since been faded my friend... but for now, I try to be strong for loved ones who need strength during this dark time :o)

I hear the Richmond cops are detaining two guys, today; hope it's them. If so, I'll come down to Richbrau to hoist some tall ones with you LS29. Write on.
