I drove my mini van over the bridge about 45 minutes later.

Wow... That's so crazy.

It is obvious that we need gun control.

Is it possible that the two vehicles were targeted because of their bad driving habits? I periodically drive these two roads, and my experience is that there are some horrible drivers out there. It would make perfect sense to find out these attacks are retaliatory because the two supposed victims were behaving badly. All too often, we cause the problems we face. Like the trade towers, Rumsfeld and his cronies should not have pissed off Al Quada. This does not justify what the terrorists did but does explain how the chose their targets. It also explains how cop killers choose their targets. It explains how minorities retaliate against Seattle cops (though they do it with US Department of Justice complaints instead of the violence the cops use). And it explains how the US chose their targets in going after the terrorists. Live by the sword, die by the sword, cannot argue with the logic. Back in West Virginia, we understand eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. If people stop being jerks, the violence will drop to a bare minimum (allowing for just plain deranged lunatics). Until we hold the instigators responsible for their actions instead of their victims who retaliate, we will never cure the disease.

Right on Lance, that explains why some moron shot up some cars, you seem very educated!

There will always be morons. There will always be guns in spite of any laws to the contrary. Any educated person will know that terrorists only attack in retaliation for some real or imagined slight. An educated person will understand that the "morons" are responding to some hurt done to them. "a-hill" you do not sound very educated. It is only an educated guess that the freeway shootings were retaliatory against the two "victims". The alternative is that they were retaliating from some previous slight related to the freeways. In either case, the shooter probably picked his targets for a reason even if the specific victims were not the specific instigators. And yes, I am very educated, and world experienced, and I don't hide behind vague names that sound inappropriate.

Well I work early morning hours & traveled that same route just an hour later in a minivan & i find it hard to believe that in the thick fog in the dark that the idiot with the gun could really differentiate between one vehicle & another.
