Something has to give soon. Personally, I believe the media is feeding this guy's warped ego. Publicizing (sp) his every action and all of their speculation is making things worse. Yes we need to know what is going on, but I watched the press coverage at lunch yesterday. They were just wasting film on the officers canvassing the area. I think the whole thing was a set up and the local yokols jumped on the chance to make national news. Central VA is a very conservative and quiet area for the most part. That's what makes living here nice.
My girls are home from school again today. While part of me understands the liability issues the system is trying to avoid, the other part says that keeping kids out of school is only giving him more of a chance to hurt one of them. If they are in school, they are in a building and relatively safe. If they are out, the teenagers are more likely be out and about with their friends.
In any case we shouldn't have to live like this.
