this is my neighborhood- its a small town- we were all under lockdown last night as helicopters shined their lights all in our houses- our whole neighborhood was up calling each other- i have kids- i was shaking like a leaf
the guy killed the cop 2 blocks away from me- this is such a tragedy ;-(

 

[RPK]

That's crazy Smash, so sorry. Living in Israel I can understand where you are coming from. Also my house was robbed during my last trip to the US, not a fun feeling.

Wishing you much hapiness!!

 

[smashfactory]

my stomach is still in knots- there are still copters out- we knew the cop, its a small town-

its horrible when you have kids- you really fear for them ;-(

 

[lazyleo]

Oh man that is truly sad..

 

[TheBaldOne]

Smash, we are lucky here in the UK, incidents like this are so rare (though unfortunately on the increase). All our thoughts should go to the family and friends of this officer.

Next time you see a police officer it would be nice just for a few seconds to think that if it were not for these men and women putting their lives on the line daily what life for all of us would really be like.

Respect and honour these men and women, they deserve it!

At least you and your kids are ok,Smash, we had a similiar thing last year, i to live in relitavely small town, and we are not used to such things here.
It does make you think,

Lots of love to you and your family!

Smash,
My heart goes out to you and your kids.
I can't imagine the fear.
I'm really glad you all are ok and I'm sure everything will return to normal very soon.

Take care.

Smash, these stories make you really sick. Truly aweful and depressing. And so scary to be near it all as its unfolding, and with small children to calm. Sorry for you, and so terrible for the families who have now lost loved ones.

Unfortunately, these things seem to be happening more frequently in the US and the UK. It may be the easy access to media which makes me feel this way, but it doesn't change the scary end results. I really feel that trends in society and personal responsibility are going the wrong way lately.

Stay safe with your family. CarryOn

PS my in-laws live a bit south of you in Montgomery County - I've even visited the State Park up near your town a number of years ago. Nice area - sad that your town is going through this trauma now.

 

[dpari]

So sorry Smash

My prayers are with you all.

This is such a tragedy. Unfortunately, the decisions that policy makers
are making are certainly contributing to the global INSECURITY that we all
feel on a much too frequent basis.

Stay safe and keep us posted please.

yeah- gotta just shake this before 4pm when my oldest comes home- today is her birthday and she turned 13- my first teenager (lord help me now)- today is bittersweet and quite an emotional rollercoaster.
thanks everyone- its good to be able to share this stuff with my friends

 

[gamehouse]

I know how you feel Smash. Very glad to know you and your family are safe and hopefully you will be able to come out those down feelings. I felt the same when there was mass shooting at college in Montreal few blocks away from my university.

On the other hand, crime is nothing new. Every time crime happens, only the address changes. So one may have to develop a whole approach towards crime. At least that will reduce the depressing effect to some extent. Maybe you should discuss with your kids how to look at crime and how to avoid it as much as possible. I know for sure there is nothing that can beat a gun and there are plenty of guns around.

Regards,

GH

Sorry

I feel for you too, Smash. We also had a police officer killed on December 17, 2007, about 50 miles south of Fresno, California. Another meth junkie kills a father for no reason. Here is a memorial page for both officers. May they rest in peace.

Dottie,

Sorry to hear about your night. I hope you and your family continue to do better as this event passes.

Take care your teen and enjoy every moment, they will treasure this someday.

Take it easy, when you worry, you pray, keep on praying then you don't worry at all. I hope this help.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you. It really is a scary time to be a cop (my dad is one) and here in South Florida, there has been at least one cop killing/attempt every two weeks or so. About a month ago, my area was swarmed with cops and helicopters looking for a man who shot 4 officers, killing one. It's just tragic.

My prayers will be with you. Thank goodness your family is alright and happy birthday to your daughter!

 

[Cate.tv]

You and your family are in my prayers Dottie - peace, Cate

I'm glad to see they caught the guy. Hopefully that brings some solace to your community.
