In Other News...South Carolina Has a Killer on the Loose

Not to make too light of the situation--I realize they're worried--but the quotes from the article amused me and I think they will most of you, too:

"There is no greater fear than the fear of the unknown and nobody knows. You can cut the tension with a knife," Peeler said. "People are locking their doors, even in broad daylight."

The Fourth of July is a busy weekend, with thousands of people expected to attend fireworks displays in several communities.

"You want to live a normal life," Phillips said as she stood outside a grocery store. "But you just can't."

The sheriff reminded people they have a right to protect themselves and advised salesmen and others to avoid knocking on strangers' doors with so many on heightened alert.

"People are going to start shooting at shadows," Blanton said.

Hope they catch this bastard so people can go back to leaving their doors unlocked.
