This Chicago Tribune story (registration required) discusses the Ohio highway sniper and the journalists hazards a guess why the wires aren’t picking up her story and why she’s not been making the rounds of cable news outlets:
The shootings remind a lot of people of 2002’s sniper attacks in the suburbs around Washington, D.C., which left 10 people dead before two men were arrested and charged with the killings.
The Ohio sniper case has garnered what appears to be less publicity, perhaps because only one person has died.
Perhaps. But some of us (which means “Brian J. Noggle”) in the middle of the country with a chip on the shoulder (not a cow chip, heinzenjohnkers) suspect it’s not garnering much media attention because it’s the middle of the country. Were someone to squeeze off a few rounds over the course of a year on the Beltway, that person would get a lot of attention, even if he or she were not shooting to kill.
Because the important people would be in danger. Not mere citizens. The super-citizens who work for the influence industry or the government.
