  2. yes - and i don't believe even a highly trained sniper would have gone for that specific shot - just a minor bit of movement and it's a complete miss. if anything, it was luck of the draw in the shooter's favor.
  3. 1. who zeros at point blank range? 2. .308 and 30-06 perform very similar up to about 300 yards - i'd give 30-06 the nod if shooting 300+ yards 3. i don't see a 10 inch drop at 200 yards. 4. google maps could have given him an approximate distance, or he could have scouted it well in advance with a laser rangefinder.
  4. "mauser" is the name of the design, and that design is from the late 1800's. most rifles since then are described to have a "mauser action" which was so named to differentiate it from rifle designs in use back then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser as i stated to someone on facebook - the rifle used is essentially a deer rifle, a 200 yard shot is not that difficult. somewhere i have a target that i shot at 100 yards and grouped 3 shots together that can be covered by a nickle. the bullets impacted right where i wanted - 1.5 inches higher than i was aiming. setting the sights to do this will put the bullets right on the aim point at 200 yards or maybe a quarter inch lower than the aim point. this was taught to me by my dad back in the 70's so this is not new wisdom. my opinion - one does not need to be a trained sniper to hit the target at 200 yards. if anything, a weekend on the range, 1-2 hours for 2 days, could make one competent enough to do this consistently. the fact that the bullet impact the side of his neck also leads me to believe the shooter was not that well trained.
  5. do you have a court order that gives you custody?
  6. 1. from what i have seen, it's an old rifle - probably will turn out to be stolen. i had a feeling when i saw the video that it wasn't a 5.56 based on the devastating impact. 2. lugging a rifle around for a considerable distance would have made spotting the shooter much easier as word spread about the incident, which is why i believe it was left in the area. 3. a typical 30-06 bullet is around 150 grain (30-06 can range from 110 grain to 220 grain, 220 grain is for moose/bear), about twice the weight of a 5.56 bullet. the damage a .30 caliber rifle does is superior to that of a 5.56/.223 - which is why some states have a minimum caliber requirement for deer hunting and may prohibit a rifle shooting the 5.56/.223 - note state laws vary on this - usually the further north one goes (where there is larger deer) the minimum caliber requirement increases. 4. and yeah, i too have been wondering about that guy - wasn't he the one asking the question that charlie was answering? i felt this entire scenario was like a pre-arranged signal to fire when charlie started answering....
  7. monkeys probably freeze boiled water for later use.....
  8. one post removed - do not post that site name on visa journey.
  9. you can take that up with the news station that did the reporting. i'll wait.

  12. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - An employee of the U.S. Postal Service in Kansas City has been charged in a life-threatening shooting at a coworker’s home over the weekend. Jackson County, Missouri, Circuit Court records filed on Sunday, Sept. 7, indicate that Antoinette E. Tabron, 30, of Kansas City, has been charged with assault in the first degree and armed criminal action. A probable cause statement filed by the Kansas City Police Department revealed that around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6, emergency crews received reports of a shooting. When first responders arrived at the scene, they said they found a female victim with a critical gunshot wound to her torso. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she immediately underwent surgery. Law enforcement officials said they found that Tabron had been at a coworker’s house following a work party earlier that day. However, an argument broke out between Tabron and one of her coworker’s guests. KCPD noted that a witness reported that there had been no physical altercation before Tabron shot the victim. Another neighbor reported he heard the argument before a single shot was fired. more at https://www.kctv5.com/2025/09/08/usps-employee-charged-life-threatening-shooting-coworkers-home/

  14. FERGUSON, Mo. – Ferguson police have confirmed that Dorian Johnson, who was with Michael Brown moments before Brown was fatally shot in 2014, was killed Sunday morning in a separate shooting. According to a spokesperson with the Ferguson Police Department, the shooting happened around 8:30 a.m. in the 9600 block of Abaco Court, near Exuma Drive. Officers arrived at the scene and found Dorian Johnson shot multiple times. Johnson later died of his injuries. He was 33. The department spokesperson stressed that police were not involved in the shooting. Johnson became widely known in 2014 as an eyewitness walking alongside Michael Brown before the teen was shot by a Ferguson police officer. His account helped spark protests in Ferguson and nationwide, becoming a symbol of the fight for racial justice. Johnson’s claims that Brown was shot in the back and was attempting to surrender to the officer when he was fatally wounded were ultimately contradicted by several other witness statements and reflected in a March 2015 Justice Department report. more at https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/police-investigate-ferguson-shooting-suspect-leads-identified/
  15. anyone who knows anything about IT won't do that either. the thermostat one is a good one in that it allows the electric company to fiddle with your settings while you are not even home - and if you have pets, it could lead to the death of them.
  16. A beloved ex veterinary professor was hacked to death while walking her dog in an Alabama park — the same place where she took her pet to exercise almost every day. The killer stole her truck and fled — but was caught by cops a short distance away the next day. The body of Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle, 59, a former professor of Large Animal Medicine at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, was discovered in a wooded area of Kiesel Park in Auburn, on Saturday afternoon. She had driven to the park with her dog in her red Ford F-150 pickup truck. The pup stuck by his owner’s body, and was found unharmed. more at https://nypost.com/2025/09/08/us-news/auburn-vet-prof-julie-schnuelle-hacked-to-death-in-alabama-park/
  17. Migrant children lost under the Biden Administration found dead or working as sex slaves After an estimated 233,000 children who crossed the US-Mexico border alone during President Joe Biden's tenure were lost, law enforcement has started to locate them - only to learn of the horrors they have faced. Since March, the Trump administration has tracked down 22,638 kids, finding some in 'deplorable' conditions, dead and others being used as sex slaves, officials told Fox News. At least 27 of those lost children have been confirmed dead, with causes of death ranging from murder, suicide, car accidents or drug overdoses. In some cases, the adults the kids were released to-- called sponsors-- were not DNA tested ensure they were actually related. In other cases, the addresses where the kids were being taken to were not verified to make sure the child was actually living there. Under the current administration, DNA testing is a requirement, as is proof of income, criminal background checks, fingerprinting and identification verification. more at https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15070729/Migrant-children-Biden-dead-sex-slaves.html
