The Woodstock Sniper

[Mavrik]

Yup... we had one late yesterday afternoon about 4:30ish in downtown Dundas street Woodstock. Police were called when someone was seen on the roof with a gun. Cruisers closed off downtown and headed to the roof tops, took 3 teens and 1 adult into custody but released them sometime later. The paper this morning did not indicate if there was any shots fired though at karate class tonight one of the guys said there was two and that there was impact marks in the sidewalk. The sniper was a bad shot and got away...scary, I'm reminded of the Virgina Sniper last year.

oh ya.. i know which one you are talking about. don't remember the name of that book/story.however, we had a serial murderer/rapist back in the 70's here in anchorage. he's pick up hookers and then beat, rape, and take them out to his cabin in the kenai. then he'd hunt them down w/ a bow and arrow! what a sick @#)!

This is Woodstock of 35000 ppl... not very common here.And that guy shooting people from his blue caprice last year in the state of virginia... that was scary. I have a few friends online who live in that area. They stayed home as much as possible.

[AKLGT]

well only so much you can do. if they want to turn a trick, then they will.. but keep in mind, this was in the 70's/80's same time as bundy, green river killer, etc.... the nation as a whole was scared!

Sorry.....A better system of government to keep hookers and prostitutes off the streets would of slowed things down or even stopped it and in other parts of the nation would slow the spead of STD's.America needs to revert back to religion and morals being guided by a strong and swift government.(removed)... isn't that what we just voted in? ha ha ha!

[Mavrik]

thats not fair, I should have the right to decide who I want running the country while I live in it legally. Guess I'll keep voting in the canadian elections... lol duel citizenship.

[AKLGT]

yep. you should still be able to vote in Canada. be like if you were studying abroad or something, absentee voting.

[russ257]

[Zig in East Orleans]

If my memory serves me correctly the book was The Most Dangerous Game".Isn't it ironic that this happened in "Woodstock". Of course it's not the original site of peace and love but you figured with the same name...
