3:45 AM?
Read this, guy: http://www.uvm.edu/pdodds/files/papers/others/2011/mansbach2011a.pdf
Are you kidding?
Nobody sleeps around there. That's the same area that sets off fireworks from 11 PM to 5 AM around the 4th of July. I know, I live near there. Since they are up all night I assume they sleep in the daytime, but I can't swear to it.
Regardless of the hour
It's just (expletive) terrible that this guy has reached the age of 48, and has found no better way to spend his time than to walk around carrying a firearm and accosting women in their cars.

Just curious
Why do these reports often report the number of bullets in various parts of the gun? Are there different sentencing rules where the more bullets you have the longer the sentence? Just wondering.
