Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by CathiP on Dec 2nd, 2003, 3:12am Coots...I'm certain my opinion is not shared by all, but Pammie, my lord lady...if you live your life in abject fear, ya might as well ccurl up & die right now. Again, it's my opinion, but you do not get to pick when it's your turn, and, when it IS your turn, it is unavoidable....this one's in hands much bigger than yours..... I know this sniper thing is horrendous....but how many people have passed that way daily, unscathed? I vote you go....use yer friends as human shields.....(that is a joke...just a joke...I want NO hate mail...got it?) Cathi who wants Pammie to fly and live without fear.... :-* |

Me living with the animals in thee insane, er uh - bands crashpadstudiomahjig....I'm out of the loop on what's up with the world of the living.... Sniper? Another one? Are you kidding me? Hell, I wouldn't worry about the traveling odds of being shot at. It'd prolly be safe to say that you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting shot at. Hell, I'd go out even further on a limb to say you'd have better odds of having some obscure fucked up thing like cluster headaches... Oh wait...nevahmind!

I lived through the DC sniper thing and it was not fun, to say the least. You just don't have any idea how terrifying it is until it hits your neighborhood. It's like trying to explain CH to some one who thinks they are "just headaches". My humble opinion. Coots--I'm hearing you and want you to stay safe. I give you permission to drink heavily. ;) TomM |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by Madame_DeFarge on Dec 2nd, 2003, 8:51am I also lived through the DC sniper episode and while it was scary, I chose to be fatalistic about it. Look at it this way: You have CH--what could be worse. I figured that I personally would never get shot in the head because then my suffering would be over and so far I've never been that lucky. I would gladly volunteer to be a human shield. |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by thomas on Dec 2nd, 2003, 9:22am Salute everybody that you pass, that way the sniper will think everyone else is higher ranking than you and he will gun for the big brass .....doh!! That only works in the military oops. :) |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by thomas on Dec 2nd, 2003, 2:18pm He's probably in an elevated position pretty far from the road, that way he has good vision and can leave without being seen by other motorists on the highway. At least if I was a crazy sick bastard, that's how I would do it. |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by TomM on Dec 2nd, 2003, 3:24pm He/she killed a passenger. Drive 90 MPH then 50 Mph then 75 MPH. Harder to lead a target if the velocity changes.... on 12/02/03 at 14:21:21, cootie wrote:

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by Lori on Dec 2nd, 2003, 11:06pm I think your odds of having a car accident are higher than being shot by the sniper. It's like anything else. I swim in the Gulf of Mexico with sharks not far away. We can see them! The odds are they are not going to come and eat me. So, my kids, husband and I swim in the water knowing they are around. Otherwise we would miss out and the water is too beautiful not to go in and snorkel and swim and body surf! Try not to let it bother you. Take an alternate route if you can. |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by BruceD on Dec 3rd, 2003, 9:42am Hey Coots, Before you get to that stretch of road, lean out the window and paint a big bullseye on the vehicle next to yours. A sniper couldn't resist such tempting. Seriously, changing speed/lanes is probably the best thing to do. The sniper has already gotten the range to his "kill zone" so the only other variables are wind & car speed. Hitting a moving target with accuracy (especially one moving at 60+ mph) is not an easy task ... at least at any serious distance. This guy is probably within a hundred yards of the highway and shooting as the cars are headed towards him. That makes it easier for him to account for speed and determine how far he must lead his "target". I really wouldn't worry too much about it. Like somebody else said, it's probably easier to get into an accident than be shot. Besides, there's another 50-100 cars driving that same 5-mi stretch of highway when you'd be doing it. I'd prefer to watch out for idiot drivers than worry about some psycho with a gun. Anyway, I hope you guys have a safe trip. Take care BruceD |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by cootie on Dec 3rd, 2003, 10:34am Thanks guys...I gotta let the freinds know in the next day if I am goin on this trip 'r not......sooooooo ! Course if the sniper shoots a car in fronta us I suppose that could up the chance of a wreck and make more targets........maybe I should jus set a rockin chair on top the truck with a sign around my neck sayin JUS SHOOT ME.......maybe phycology will work ? Watch the weather go ta hell and we can't go anyhow Pam |

Title: Re: How to avoid a sniper............. Post by sandie99 on Dec 4th, 2003, 6:18am Hmmm... should I feel lucky about the fact that I live in London? We don't have a sniper in our hands, just general warning that this is the most dangerous city in that sense that terrorist are likely to target London any day now. But what comes to the avoiding a sniper problem, I have to agree, that nothing is worse than having CH. Best wishes & PFdays, sandie99 |
