Has anyone seen the ABC late night news with the stories of the victims? How sad....it seems like he went out of his way to kill very good people. The first victim was in his early 50's and had an 11 year old son. Was picking up food for his church. The 72 year old man who was shot on the street, was caring for a very sick wife...imagine how she must feel now....The man mowing a lawn? Oh, it wasn't even his, he was mowing it for an older business client of his I believe....then there was the Woman from El Salvador with a 7 year old son, her husband didn't want to come to the U.S., but she knew it would be the best place to raise their son....the younger women was a nanny, with a young child of her own...I forget the other details for the other victims, but suffice to say, very decent people(I do recall the cabbie who was trying to get gas when he was killed, had just past his wife on the way to work, and waved to her)
I am not feeling very Christian tonight, I hope he dies slowly and painfully........they will probably rerun this story 10 before the hour.....

I think most people, by their very nature, are good people. And then there is the stiper...

Me either. This is beyond sickening.

Honestly, this is somewhat uplifting for me. It demonstrates just how many good people there are out there... a story you'll never see on the networks. The sniper obviously couldn't know those facts, so it is a small sample of the American population... and it is a really decent, caring, loving one.

I share your highly unChristian thoughts for the shooter's fate, though. Those people should not be dead, and we are worse off for their loss.

Looking at these people, do you think he/she/they may attend the same church? The murdered people are all CHRISTIAN in the true sense of the word.
