Yeah, my daughter use to attend an elementary school near the Takoma area where he gunned someone down. At the time I was living in L.A. freaking out.

Re: DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM
Well it's approximately 9:04 so he should be gone by now. Good riddance. A waste of taxpayer funds in prison and a waste of a human life in general. I was in middle school at the time he was doing his thing and my friends were legitimately scared to walk to school. We'd all carpool with this one guy's dad for fear of being shot while walking through the neighborhood.
For all the pain and fear he inflicted on everybody in the DMV and all those other states I'm glad he's gone. Me and my coworkers were discussing ways he should've died today instead of lethal injection. If there ever was a case of someone who I felt should've felt the pain and fear that all his victims felt, it was this guy.

Re: DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM
Aspen Hill is less than 5 miles south of my hometown (Olney) and my mom actually knew one of the victims (Premkumar Walekar) and the sister of another (James L. Buchanan). I was away at college while this was happening but I was constantly worried for my family back home because I had two sisters in school and my dad works mainly outside. What these assholes did is nothing sort of terrorism.
Like tryfuhl, I'm not a big supporter of the death penalty but I'm not totally against it, especially in such extreme instances as this.

I use to work at a Suzuki motorcycle dealership in Aspen Hill years ago. AND, Olney was basically a general store and maybe a gas station when I was growing up.

That dealership was there forever, but I think it just closed down. My family has been in Olney since 1985 and it has changed quite a bit, but it really just seems like it got more crowded.

Re: DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM
Good to see him gone.
One of the first victims was killed within a mile of the house where I grew up in Kensington. I worked at the Safeway right next to the Shell station as a high school kid. Needless to say I was concerned for my Mom, sister and her family while this was going on. I was also coming back from DC and too tired to make it back to VB. So I stopped in Ashland and noticed a bunch of police on the exit. I didn't stop to find out what was up, just figured it was a wreck. I pulled into the Microtel to get some sleep and finish the drive in the AM. (Note: I had a shotgun in my vehicle, long story, but it was legal). I was woke up to ATF agents banging on my door at about 11:30pm with guns drawn. I opened the door (slowly and cautiously) and they checked me and the room out. Then they explained the sniper had shot someone at the Ponderosa in Ashland earlier that night. They wanted to check out my shotgun, (fortunately it wasn't a .22 rifle) once they knew it wasn't me, they apologized and let me go. Not a real fun experience.

Thats funny. We used to take whatever we could and go road racing around the Kmart parking lot behind the dealership at like midnight. Olney was a cool old country town back in the day

Re: DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM
I was working for UMD Admissions when this whole ordeal happened. I had to visit a number of high schools in Montgomery County and was deathly afraid everytime I got out of the car I was driving. A buddy of mine lived in Aspen Hill, on the same street where the bus driver was shot. He was terrified when this happened. I have my opinions about the death penalty, but I'm ok with it in this situation.

I was living in Ashland when he shot the guy at the Ponderosa. I ate there frequently.

Re: DC Sniper, John Allen Muhammad, set to receive lethal injection at 9:00PM
cant really find a reason to say anything but he didnt get what he deserved. all of the victims families should have had a hand in carrying out the sentence. maybe a public stoning?
