Religious shootings in Arvada...

[Van]

Watching the news today, now I realize why there were police with rifles roaming the streets in front of my house this morning!!

2am, I'm on the internet and I see swarms of cops with flashlights and guns. One actually walked into my yard following footprints. I was freaking out!

I live right across this little pond from that youth mission center where the shooting took place.

Crazy thing, I was in my garage around 12 or so when the shooting took place. I didn't hear the gunshots though. So glad I had the garage door shut. Usually I leave it open when messing around with the car but it was cold. Who knows what could have happened if he ran my direction!

Man, those kids will be in my prayers.

And that Burger King shooting from a couple months ago happened right across the street from that youth mission center. My wife wants to move now. But where can you go when you don't feel safe in the freakin 'burbs!? :confused:

That's scarey, man! Glad you're okay!

One of many reasons I live in the boonies! (Although I have had my house and barn peppered by bird shot a couple of times. Damn stupid bird hunters!)

I know how you feel. Way back in the early 80's when I was living in Littleton, a guy was robbed & fatally stabbed right down the street from my house. The police (sheriffs?) used a bloodhound to try and find the guy and they were led to a juniper bush in front of my house, right by the front door. They said that it appeared the guy hid there. My step daughter was home alone after school at the time of the incident. It scared the... Well, you know... out of us. If we hadn't had big dogs in the house, who knows?
This is why I moved to yonder mountains. Of couse, I now worry about bears and lions and FIRE all the time.

We're not safe anywhere. I worked with a gentleman who moved to Bailey about 2-3 years ago, to get away from Columbine and the like.

Then, their shooting happened.

Strange times we live in.

Funny how human problems seem to follow humans around.

Yeah, I'm working on carving out a chunk of the Alaskan coastline, including some significant mountains and declaring it the Republic of Iain.

It'll be rad.

I still want to buy a mountain, build a house on top, and a fence around the bottom.

Nowhere is safe from psychos, and there aren't enough cops to be everywhere something bad is happening. You have to be realistic and take responsibility for your own safety...Buy a gun, learn to use it. Times aren't changing folks, there have always been crazy and evil people around...shoot back.

Have you ever been to Tuscany? You would love it.

I know some people. It could happen. Stay away from the western coast though, the ground is bad.
