Correctly name the aproximate age (within 10 years), race, and sex of the next sniper victim
Just wanted to comment that this in a bit too bad a taste for me. Of course, I don’t deny your right to offend me.
PolskiKing, how old are you? Aww, forget it, I’m not that lucky.
Sick fuck.
hmm yes i can see how this post can come across as thus, but let
me clarify my thoughts on the purpose of this post
yes, it is in bad taste if this were a “contest” in fun;
What I was trying to establish is the “patterns” of this sniper
tHe point that i was hoping to bring up is that the “pattern” this
sniper follows, the way he/she picks out victims is to SEEM random
to the rest of the world.
I hypothesize if the sniper were picking victims TOTtALY random,
that is not knowing the age, race, gender, location of its target,
then we would be seeing more middle-aged white male deaths
then there have been
Again, I apoligize if this post seemed to be in bad taste,
and I do not mean at all to take the lives of the innocent victims
in jest.
I hoped to establish the sniper’s patterns and reasons for
the shootings
sorry i didnt clarify earlier yojimboguy
I wanted to post this somewhere and i think this is the appropreate place

He Got People Involved
Martin, 55, was killed Oct. 2 at a Shoppers Food Warehouse in Wheaton, Md., as he was picking up food for his church’s youth group. Married, and the father of an 11-year-old son, Martin was also good at getting other people involved in the community, according to Gaffigan. The sniper’s victims have been random and unrelated, but Gaffigan happened to know two of them.
Seeking America’s Promise for Her Son
The day after Gaffigan lost his friend Martin to the sniper’s bullet, his housekeeper, Sarah Ramos, was killed. Ramos, a 34-year-old Salvadoran immigrant, was one of four people fatally shot on the morning of Oct. 3. She was killed as she sat on a bench waiting for a ride to another job.
Ramos had left a very comfortable life in her community in El Salvador and very courageously came to the United States, Gaffigan said. Her husband, had been an economics professor in El Salvador, and had come here reluctantly, according to Gaffigan. But Sarah Ramos knew what America could offer her 7-year-old son, and her husband respected her wishes, Gaffigan said.
A Life Dedicated to Children
Greg Wims said his friend James ‘Sonny’ Buchanan did a lot of favors for the community of White Flint, Md. Buchanan, 39, was a landscaper, and was mowing the grass as a favor to an old customer when he was shot dead early Oct. 3.
Wims and Buchanan met at the Boys and Girls Clubs. Buchanan had asked Wims to help him out selling Christmas trees to raise money for the community’s underprivileged. Wims said Buchanan had dedicated his life to children. “To lose his life next door to where he’d worked so hard in volunteering is a tragic loss,” Wims said.
Wims is working to help not only Buchanan’s family but all of the victims’ families. Seven years ago, Wims founded the Washington-area Victims’ Rights Foundation. Through his foundation, he is hoping to raise a quarter of a million dollars to distribute among the families.
“The Victims Rights Foundation will help every last victim’s family, and we actually now are an extended family to them. When other people may forget this story, we will be there for them,” Wims said.
A Devoted Family Man
Like Sarah Ramos and Sonny Buchanan, Premkumar Walekar, lost his life to a sniper’s bullet on the morning of Oct. 3. Walekar, a 54-year-old taxi driver from Olney, Md., was shot and killed as he pumped gas at a station in the Aspen Hill area.
Walekar came to the United State from Bombay, India, in 1968. He worked all his life for his family, said a friend. His son and daughter are both in their 20s. Walekar’s wife was returning from working a night shift at a nursing job when he passed her as he headed for work, driving a cab in Washington, according to Walekar’s brother, Vijay Walekar. They waved to each other, and then went their own ways. Walekar then stopped to get gasoline at the service station where he was shot.
“We were surprised that a cruel hand could take such innocent person just with one bullet, snatching him from this world,” said Lazarus Borge, Walekar’s brother-in-law.
A Young, Happy Mother
Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, 25, was a graduate of the Northwest Nannies Institute in Oregon, and proud of it. She found the work she sought in the Washington, D.C.-area, and had just dropped off her 3 ½ year-old daughter at day care on the morning of Oct. 3. She then stopped to clean her car at a gasoline station when she was killed. “She was so happy. She just always had a positive attitude about everything. She was just the best person in the world,” her sister, Charity Randall, said.
He Offered a Helping Hand
Pascal Charlot was a 72-year-old retired handyman who also liked to do favors for people, according to a neighbor. He’d often help them fix things at no charge. He was also caring for his ill wife.
Charlot was killed on the night of Oct. 3 as he stood on a street corner in the nation’s capital, just making a trip to the store. He suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest.
A Civil War Buff
Dean Meyers, a project manager at an architectural engineering firm, was killed Oct. 9 at a Sunoco gas station near Manassas, Va. Meyers, 53, was a Civil War buff who loved the outdoors-hiking and canoeing-and who also gave rides in his classic Chevy Corvette, family members said.
Working for the African-American Community
The sniper’s latest victim, Kenneth Bridges of Philadelphia, was dedicated to making things better for African-Americans by helping them establish their own businesses. Bridges, 53, was shot to death on the morning of Oct. 11 at a gas station in Fredericksburg, Va. A family friend remembered him as a man who would take long walks with his wife, and celebrate birthdays with his four daughters and two sons.
An Effort to Help the Families
Wims is working to help not only his friend Sonny Buchanan’s family but all of the victims’ families. Seven years ago, Wims founded the Washington-area Victims’ Rights Foundation. Through his foundation, he is hoping to raise a quarter of a million dollars to distribute among the families.
“The Victims Rights Foundation will help every last victim’s family, and we actually now are an extended family to them. When other people may forget this story, we will be there for them,” Wims said.
The list of victims was random — but also a composite of the features of which so many communities are built — immigrants and strivers; entrepreneurs and volunteers; male and female; young and old. They were all going about their everyday lives. The violence was senseless. The sum of their lives is humbling.
'Nuff Said.
Lockdown.
