If what I read on here is correct, and it's a 30-06 that was used, a 6 inch drop wouldn't be impossible at 200 yds for a 30-06 sighted in at 100 (depending on the gun and more importantly, the grain of bullet you use). Definitely not the round a pro would pick, though.

Saying unspent rounds have something about trans rights & fascist writing on them. Not clear on it all yet. Still kinda early reporting I think. [Hidden Content]

Yes, I realized that afterwards, but unlike Crooks, he only squeezed off one shot. Crooks fired several and missed from closer. I also mentioned deer hunters and said a great one because most sight in @ 100-125 yards. One can search the back of Soldier of Fortune for a “professional” hit. Doesn’t signify that he’s a skilled marksman, simply paid for. Glad I cleared that up.

I had to go back and read my post again. No, that's not what I meant. I didn't say true republican. I said no TRUE CHANCE that a republican did this. The point that I was trying to make is that this was a hit and I believe that it will be spun by the media as a republican shooter or a President Trump backer.
-
Looks like he was just a poor shot. Saying rifle was .30-06. If sighted in at 100 yards, should have been true if just an occasional shooter. Could be rifle was sighted at 200, and he wasn’t that proficient.

What Week 3 game(s) will you be attending?

I started deer hunting as an adult. Within a single box of shells I was putting 3 rounds inside of a silver dollar at 200 yds. It's really not hard with a decent gun and good optics. It's also worth noting that this shot had to be a miss that got lucky. From the angle it came in it was likely supposed to be a head shot that was several inches low and happened to catch his neck.
-
As careless as the shooter appears to be, they should be able to track the gun registration. Still bet it’s a low end Remington 223. This really was a short range shot if less than 300 yards.
-
I understand about the head shot. Think about this: If you aim for the side of the neck and blow the carotid artery open, one person I just listened to said he was basically dead when he got hit. So, could this also be a tactic? I'm just thinking out loud. Another thing, "if" this was a hit job, stuff being left behind, could this have been staged as a diversion? Again, just throwing stuff out there.
-
A pro would have put themselves in a position for a head shot.
-
According to news sources, it was probably aimed at torso and over compensated for distance. The height of the building he shot from and the canopy over him, a headshot was not possible.

True! Wait, The Gateway Pundit is reporting the same thing. Also is X. So, those that think the Pundit is not reliable will think this is false. But, it's not! [Hidden Content]

Another wormy looking little punk like Crooks. Someone will recognize him from the pics. Seemed familiar with campus buildings. Probably an ex student. Just a guess. Bounty = $100,000.

The 2-0 start for the Lions is definitely surprising. Sounds like things are different there with the new guy.

That’s why I said a .223. Probably had plenty for the shooting range. They’re cheap & plentiful. No questions are asked when bought because they’re thought of as a range round. While an accurate round with little kickback, he probably didn’t realize their weight wouldn’t be the best for the range. Pro would know that. We’ll see if they ever release those details.
-
FBI has basically stated that this was not a professional hit. Too many clues, including the gun, was left. Pros do not do that. Their profile is a rouge person who just happened to be a skilled shooter. But, being that he hit Kirk's neck, not that skilled. Pro would have made the head shot.

Barbers Hill might be the hardest team to gauge so far. I give a slim edge to Deer Park in this one. BH 20 Deer Park 21

Somehow, the bolt action rifle found will morph into a "high powered assault rifle". The role of social media for clicks will never be discussed, nor will the role of corporate profits in our news organizations. Very few will probably question how safe their kids are walking across college campuses all across this country, and First Amendment freedoms of free and open face-to-face discourse will take another hit. The gun control discussion will take front and center, and distract from everything else. Then, not only will we have lost the First, we'll again be in danger of losing the Second. The deer rifle will become an automatic weapon of war--with an oversized clip--within a week.

Nacogdoches (1-1) @ Livingston (2-0)

Livingston by a TD. Nac has a freshman starting at QB for em, seen it in their game versus Lufkin. -
Explain what he did that made him a horrible person? I bet you can’t name one legitimate thing he did for you to label him horrible. I guess I can pull the word horrible out of thin air to describe you, without knowing you. This is the same thing you did without knowing Kirk. Guess you claim him to have been horrible because he didn’t share the same political views yourself.

Not even close.

Welp…I was wrong. It didn’t take until this afternoon for the conversation to turn to gun control. [Hidden Content]
