[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was afraid during the sniper attacks a decade ago. I stopped waiting for the bus and got a ride to work and passed three of the sites on the way. It was stressful and then they were caught and there was relief.  But then this stuff started happening (or getting press coverage) constantly. There's nothing I can do about it now.  It's just random like everything else. I am more afraid of getting rear ended at a traffic light but that doesn't stop me from going places. [/quote]

I remember that fear during the sniper attacks.  coaching a 7 year old soccer team and we were scared to go play soccer on an athletic field by a school.

I remember the fear right after 9/11 and the fear of a nuclear terrorist attack in DC.

I remember the fear in 2008 with the stock market going from 12,000 to 6,000  and with 300,000 americans getting fired every month.

I know daily the fear from watching your parent die from alzheimer's and know you are looking in a mirror.

And on top of these I have to deal with the fear of getting killed by a semi-automatic glock because in the 1700s our country was scared of the british and wanted everyone to have a musket.   I am embarrassed to be American.[/quote]
