Expect implies confidently believing, usually for good reasons, that an event will occur: to expect a visit from a friend. Anticipate is to look forward to an event and even to picture it: Do you anticipate trouble? Hope implies a wish that an event may take place and an expectation that it will: to hope for the best. Await (wait for) implies being alert and ready, whether for good or evil: to await news after a cyclone.

so you expect/hope/anticipate another shooting?

I give up... it's someone elses turn

Yep I Anticipate it...

1. to realize beforehand; foretaste or foresee: to anticipate pleasure.
2. to expect; look forward to; be sure of: to anticipate a favorable decision.
6. to consider or mention before the proper time: to anticipate more difficult questions.
7. to be before (another) in doing, thinking, achieving, etc.: Many modern inventions were anticipated by Leonardo da Vinci.

There is no reason you can't expect something bad to happen, you're nuts.

1. to realize beforehand; foretaste or foresee: to anticipate pleasure ----- anticipate pleasure!!! so shootings pleasure you?
2. to expect; look forward to; be sure of: to anticipate a favorable decision ----- Favorable decision!!!... thats a good thing, you look forward to the next shooting?
6. to consider or mention before the proper time: to anticipate more difficult questions. ----- don't see how this applies. You didn't say anything before it happened, only after.
7. to be before (another) in doing, thinking, achieving, etc.----- you are def not doing, thinking, or achieving before others. you speak your mind after the fact. If you said last week that this would happen then maybe this would be true


expect = anticipate = hope..... so I'm glad you hope for another shooting.

1. to realize beforehand;

You see that ";" there, that means that everything after it dosn't connect to the saying before hand.

I need a rolleyes smily.

Well on a different note....did any of you see that in between the shootings he went to the post office and mailed a video of pictures and whatnot of him posing with guns pointing at the camera and a hammer and stuff?
