Jobs for out-of-work snipers

November 21, 2004

I see this all the time on campus, and very few solutions come to mind.  Maybe… a sniper up on top of the parking garage.  It would give those special-ops guys something to do when the war is over.

Try to imagine: you’re a student at a state university.  You are not rich: that’s why you have a cheap bicycle that you depend on to get across campus to your morning class or your afternoon job.  One morning, you’re running late – everything seems to go wrong.  Finally you burst out the revolving door in front of your dorm and – ! – some drunken jerk has bent the wheel of your bicycle just for fun.  Your bike cannot be used and it would cost more than it’s worth to fix it.

(There were five bikes on that one rack with severely bent wheels.  And several more on the rack next to it.  It’s nothing new – I’ve been walking through the campus for 20 years and it happens every semester.)

I hope I never see anyone do it.

    Oooh.  Yeah, I’d be willing to pitch in on some bounties for that kind of crap.

    “Don’t kill ‘em, though.  Just a shot to the kneecaps.”

    If it were up to me, I’d punish vandalism more harshly than theft.

    Buy a cheap wireless camera and send signal to lap top or computer, Record video of the individuals doing it.
    It will keep you out of jail for shooting someone also!
