CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — Police in the southeast Missouri town of Cape Girardeau say two men accused of driving into a group of joggers likened it to playing a video game.

Three joggers suffered bumps and bruises Sunday morning when they were struck by a car. Police believe it was intentional.

The suspects, 19-year-old Vincent Anderson of Little Rock, Ark., and 27-year-old Marcus Jones of Cotton Plant, Ark., are both jailed. Police say Anderson was driving a 1994 Ford Thunderbird that was reported stolen moments before the joggers were struck.

The Southeast Missourian (http://bit.ly/S9REzH ) reports that according to a probable cause statement, cellphone videos found with the suspects indicated they thought the experience was “fun” and likened it to the video game “Grand Theft Auto.”

So do you suggest President Obama should have immediately mobilized the intelligence assets in the area to rescue those joggers? Key word "random" again.

I suggest the only thing about the attack that was random was which specific man they were aiming for.
