If any of you read about the big Seattle massacre that happened last year (some guy got invited to an after part from a rave and ended up shooting a bunch of people) I used to live like 5 blocks from where it happened. I wasn't there for it, but it's still crazy to think about.
I went through the whole WTO riot thing, which was extremely scary. I wonder, did any of our LA friends go through the whole post Rodney King riots? That had to have been terrifying.
Although I wasn't in Seattle when the actual killings happened, I got to talk to an officer who was part of the Green River Killer case. He said it was just surreal as hell. I wonder what officers think when they're a part of such an infamous investigation? To think of how you'd feel if you were the man who arrested say, Henry Lee Lucas or Ted Bundy...my mind can't even comprehend the feeling. To look into the eyes of someone who's done such horrible things...face to face. I'm not religious at all, but I imagine it'd be like staring down the ultimate dogmatic evil. I'd be curious and yet terrified at the same moment.
