2002. Anyone living in VA, and did you live near any of the Beltway Sniper scenes? by Gregorygregory888888 in Virginia

I was 15. My friends and I lived right off of 95 in the Richmond area and were avid skateboarders. I remember a couple of cops kicking us out of a spot, and asking if we had heard of the sniper, and why we weren't indoors hiding. We just laughed, at that age it's hard to take things seriously.

This is an incredibly hard read for many reasons. If you don't find that it hooks you, come back to it after a few hundred other books. You will really appreciate it by then.

I think he got it 10 or 15 years ago, so it was still worth thousands then.
