Forgot to blog this earlier: watching the news last night, it appears that the Serial Shootings Task Force tracking the mysterious “sniper” here in Columbus have received more than 3,100 tips to date. They have distilled those 3,100 leads into a list of approximately 750 separate and individual names, 750 people who (so the tipsters believe) either know something about the shootings worth reporting or are, in fact, the shooters themselves.
So, apparently, there are at least 750 people living in the southeastern Columbus area who are shifty or suspicious enough to warrant being turned in by the people around them.
Yeah. That makes me feel better, let me tell you.
