Exclamation Dallas Freeway Shootings!!

I hope this doesn't turn into another DC Beltway sniper situation. I drive this highway every day just a few miles east of these shootings.

I love this cops brilliant assessment:

"I actually think this is a very random act by someone who's upset. I don't see this as a long-term problem in that respect," Dallas police Lt. Craig Miller said at a news conference.

I guess we should feel safe in that it won't happen again until the next time the guy gets "upset".

"But police said they were looking for a shooter they described as a balding white man in his 40s"

Okay, which one of you is it?

I was nowhere near Dallas. And I'm not balding.

And why are you stealing a thread topic from Dakota?

BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!!


Actually it's all they've been talking about all day in my building. We're getting more weird and amped up as it gets closer to time to go get on LBJ and get shot in the head.

Wear a helmet.

The bastard had probably just been to a mall.

Random patches of hair never portend good.

Would I incur the wrath of anyone if I said I understood wanting to kill some idiot in (Dallas) traffic?

That's right but I'm going to fight my fate. Just to be safe I'm going to ram my car into every tan colored Ford F150 that I see on the way home. HA!
