Sayonara Sniper

The DC Sniper wasted his last breath tonight at 9:11 PM. Good. I have dibs on his unused carbon credits.

From WTOP here:

John Allen Muhammad, the mastermind of the sniper attacks that terrorized the nation’s capital region for three weeks in October 2002, was executed Tuesday. Muhammad died by injection at 9:11 p.m. at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, prison spokesman Larry Traylor said.

He said Muhammad had no final statement and that Traylor didn’t hear him utter any words during the execution.

Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers, who was shot in the head at a Manassas gas station during a spree that left 10 dead across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

I was in the movie theater across the street from the gas station where Meyers was murdered. I remember seeing Sweet Home Alabama and coming out to the horrible news that the sniper had struck again. Many of us in Northern Virginia began to pump gas while hiding behind open car doors. And I’ll never forget that stupid ass Police Chief, Charles Moose. That lousy bastard is writing parking tickets in Honolulu now.
